soooo not looking very promising for people who haven't gotten an II yet then?
Click to expand...
My cousin interviewed with them in early March 2016, and ended up going there. And I don't think he found out about the interview until the new year (but I don't remember for sure). So I would say not all hope is lost yet!
 
I already completed VITA for another school, and now that I have received an II for LKSOM, I see both schools listed in the "AAMC VITA Status Update" email... Am I all set? I received a confirmation email after completing VITA for the other school a month or so ago -- should I be receiving such a confirmation each time an additional school requires it, or can I assume LKSOM has/will receive my VITA without me having to take any further action? I apologize for being a bit neurotic lol, and TYSM in advance!

I think you only get a confirmation email after completing VITA for the first invitation so it sounds like you're all set
 
I saw on Temple Med's website that applicants have to option to provide SAT/ACT scores and upload the scores via the supplemental application.

Can this be used in place of the MCAT scores?

No, these are optional but the MCAT is not when completing the application!
 
What's the purpose of including the scores then? Will they also use it if the MCAT score is lower?
 
did anybody receive an interview invite but no request from vita?

Happy Thanksgiving! I received an email from HireVue that Temple has requested me to complete the VITA (I haven't completed it yet for this cycle), but I haven't received an interview invite email, is that common/should I expect an II invite soon? I recognize there might be a lag because of the holiday

I would check ur portal to see if you missed the email!
 
Has anyone sent a pre-interview update? Just wondering if temple is receptive to those

I was completed 8/9 but not II, I am assuming soft rejection now.

I don't think they're necessarily going through the pile by complete date alone. Seems more like OOS vs. IS and stats (and complete date within these piles probably). I was complete late September and still holding out hope for an II.
 
anyone know the date we’ll hear back regarding post II decisions in December?

This is mostly me speculating, but I think next week?

Last year, MD/PhD and St. Luke's MD only acceptances were released on Tuesday, 12/10, and Philadelphia MD only acceptances were released on Thursday, 12/12. I think that we will hear back sometime in the second week of December, possibly 12/8 and 12/10 if they are consistent. These dates also line up with exam week at TU, just as they did last year.

Two years ago, all accepted applicants were notified in the portal on 12/5 and WL candidates were notified by snail mail around 12/13.

thank you!!
 
Did anyone who's interviewing tomorrow not receive the links yet? One of their emails says that we should receive them today

Congrats on the interview and wishing you lots of luck! I am interviewing next week with the St. Lukes campus and they told me we would should expect to receive the links the week prior. Not sure if the same goes for the main Philly campus though. I hope it is sorted out now though!

II on November 19, 73 LM score. Interview in late January.

For anyone else who got a II, when you go on the portal does it not give you any options for scheduling the interview?
Click to expand...
you have to activate your account from the email they sent, then go to "TUportal", then there's a place to schedule the interview in the center of the screen! once you click, a calendar icons shows up that shows all the open dates
 
for the photo we upload, it is ok to upload a professional headshot, how do we know if it's "passport-sized"?

So earlier in the cycle I just looked up "photo size converter" or something like that and a couple of websites popped up that allow you to upload your photo and it will shrink them to the passport size. Only takes a couple of minutes.
 
Do you guys think I should email about the passport-sized photo? I accidentally uploaded a headshot that's cropped as a square but is bigger than standard passport dimensions... kinda by a lot lol. I was hoping I could just reupload a resized version on the portal but it doesn't look like I can... At the same time, I'm not sure this is something worth emailing admissions about, especially since I uploaded the image a 2-3 weeks ago when I first received the II...

I think you'll be fine! You uploaded a square headshot, even if it is big I really don't see this as a cause for concern or a make or break point in your admission decision

Don't worry about it. A picture is a picture, if they had a problem with it they would have probably emailed you by now
