Does anyone remember what date in December they would release decisions? Was it early, mid, or late December?
 
If you interviewed before the December decision release, are you expected to hear back in December or could they hold off until Feb or march?

edit: scheduled for 12/2/2020 but had one date (tomorrow) in November and every T/W/TH date of december available

Congrats on the II! Did you email them your update in addition to uploading to the portal? I uploaded an update to the portal a few weeks ago but nothing yet..

It was kind of a LOI i think (don’t know exactly how to classify it but it was pretty long (1 pg)). I have strong connections to the school and community so I updated them on my activities but also wrote about my interest in the school and continuing to serve this community.

Also got an II here today (at 2AM apparently lol)! One of my top choices, so super excited. I was complete late August, IS, LM ~76.

Anyone think it is worthwhile to submit a secondary here over next coming days?

To be frank, in my opinion, I do think it is pretty late to be submitting secondaries at this point in the cycle based on what I've seen/heard. Regardless of any delays caused by COVID, submitting in the next few days will very likely put you at a disadvantage (vs. if you had applied earlier in the cycle). However, I don't think it means that your application would be DOA. If you have a strong application/stellar stats and/or an X factor, the timing might not have as much of an impact. If you really love this school and you can afford it, might as well shoot your shot because you never know! You miss 100% of the shots you don't take. Best of luck!!

Is there a way to check the status of our application? Submitted late September and have not heard anything yet

I applied last year!

As far as I know, no. You could check your portal to see if you're missing anything, but I did receive a confirmation email that my application was complete (around mid-September). I didn't hear back from Temple until they sent the II in February.

It's a long wait unfortunately. I do hope that you'll hear back soon!

Okay, thank you! I hate being left in the dark like this but oh well, nothing I can do to change it :/
I hope I hear back from them as well 🙂
