Current student: the writing assignment is just a prompt that you respond to. I think mine was something about the importance of advocacy and I just ended up ranting about how advocating for things like proper, safe, housing can impact health (specifically with kids with asthma) I thought I was speaking nonsense but I got in so, must not have been bad. Everyone's prompt was different

do you have any tips for the general interview? is it casual? any obscure questions you experienced?

do you have any tips for the general interview? is it casual? any obscure questions you experienced?

The interview has changed since me....you used to have to do some weird sim-center encounter with a fake patient but thankfully for you guys, thats not a thing anymore. Now I think you just have the two faculty interviews which are both very chill. Everyone at temple is genuine and will appreciate if you are genuine and show what a "person" you are not how many things you've accomplished. You have the stats, they know about your experience, focus on trying to get them to get to know you.

Do they evaluate applications before receiving casper scores? or is the application considered incomplete until then?

Pretty sure that they don't evaluate until everything is in, including CASPer.

did you guys get confirmation emails after submitting your secondary? I submitted it on 7/17 and never got a confirmation email

Can't speak for everyone, but I submitted 7/19 and got an email 7/21 saying all components of my application were complete/received

 

[YoloSwagCats]

My CASPer came in after I submitted my secondary, so I received an "Update" email saying that all of my things were in. Not sure if they send this email if you already had everything in when you submit the secondary.

did you guys get confirmation emails after submitting your secondary? I submitted it on 7/17 and never got a confirmation email

Did you take CASPer? Did you pay for the secondary? I submitted 7/31 and got a complete e-mail on 8/4.

Also check your spam.

[Calizboosted76]

has anyone's status changed from completed to something else on the portal?

Im curious as well, i don’t even see a spot where it gives a status.

 

[futureSurgeon98]

if u click on "apply online" on the upper right side once you log into the portal, it shows a brief status as completed

Gotcha, if you rotate your screen it should work.

Wow been on sdn for a few months and I’ve just now learned that. Appreciate the tip friend!

Did you end up taking it yet? I don’t see anything from Temple that specifies when we should complete VITA by.

I haven't gotten the chance to take it yet, but I plan to do so before my interview next Thursday.

 

[Removed 982794]

has anyone complete in August heard anything?

 

[definitely_not_an_athlete]

has anyone complete in August heard anything?

I haven't heard anything. I completed the secondary the first week of August, but my CASPer score didn't get submitted until 8/26. Not sure when they will actually get to my application.

 

[TabbyTuxy]

has anyone complete in August heard anything?

I mean, I was complete 7/16 and haven't heard back. I don't think they're going chronologically.

+1 the neuroticism is telling me it's a silent R, but common sense/logic says it's not chronological. Not sure who to believe... lol

believe the sense / logic 🙂

 

[MooDoc]

Temple admissions mentioned that if you're in classes, they usually hold your application until Jan to see your fall semester grades. I'm in a grad program which is why they told me that.

Not sure. They didn't specify.

Last year a ton of July/August applicants got II's in winter and spring even after being skipped for fall II's. Unfortunately, it looks like Temple doesn't do pre-II R's until spring, so it's a long road here.

 

[squids82]

Has anyone interviewing next week gotten the time slate email yet? I’ve only gotten a schedule without saying if I’m Morning or Afternoon

 

[talyn86]

I haven't gotten that email either. I'm assuming they'll send out the detailed schedule with the zoom links early next week (my interview is Thursday).

Ah I’m Tuesday so I’ll probably email them and let you know if there’s an email we didn’t get that we were supposed to!

 

[squids82]

My TU Portal says I start at 8:15a, but I haven't received confirmation of this via email yet. I did get an email today saying I'll get zoom links on Monday and I'm assuming that will come with a more detailed schedule.

Just checked mine and it says 8:15 too! I probably should've checked that haha! Thank you!! 🙂

 

[BothSides]

Is it okay to write "Philly" in the secondaries. Not sure if that is formal enough. Philadelphia is quite a long word.
