WL just now. Fourth* WL no A's. This one hurt

Don’t worry! You will get one A . Be positive! 😊

 

[anonymoususer343434]

I got off the waitlist. Waitlisted about a month ago.

Gives me hope! Guess I'm waiting til May though, but did you send any communication, LOI/update etc post-WL?

Edit: Congrats too!!

 

[gljj]

For anyone who has sent in an update letter or LOI, did you address it to the Admissions Committee as a whole or to the Dean of Admissions (Dr. Ufberg I believe? Please correct me if I'm wrong)?

 

[SweetBurger]

From what i remember last year they send out an email to gauge your interest on the WL so idk if LOI is necessary. This came out like 4-5 days prior to may 1st. Just a headsup dunno if thats a this year thing so don't get neurotic if i doesnt happen

Trying my best, thank you!

Does anyone know if Temple usually has good need based FA?

 

[anonymoususer343434]

Does anyone know if Temple usually has good need based FA?

I think during my interview, they said most goes to M3/M4's and I think someone in here mentioned that too a while back, but there is some for incoming students, just not a lot

 

[SweetBurger]

does anyone know where i can find a match list with both speciality and program?

doesnt exist

Thank you 😊 and No, I was actually planning on starting my letter that afternoon and I got the email lol. And there seems to be more movement now. Keep your hopes up and def write them your letter, Ik they care

 

[deerparkhydrated]

did anyone who was recently accepted get any information about second look days or about certiphi/background checks?

Nothing about background checks yet, but there’s info about second look days in the groupme.

 

[mirrordance]

Can anyone share information on how well Temple supports their students? What kind of resources are available to address burnout, competitiveness, etc.?

What is second look days?

 

[deerparkhydrated]

What is second look days?

Basically just going and taking a tour of the school and facilities in person. A chance to get last minute questions answered before committing.

For those that sent a LOI, did you guys email it directly to admissions, or upload it to the portal?

Upload it to the portal, that way it goes straight to your file 🙂

Thank you!

Will be withdrawing my spot today, hopefully it goes to one of y'all!

+1!

Did anyone else get the gauging interest email just now?

 

[14_karat]

Did anyone else get the gauging interest email just now?

Yep! Just submitted it. Ironically, I was just finishing up my LOI. Definitely gave me the extra push to finish it tonight.

 

[anonymoususer343434]

Just got an email from Mrs. Zimmerman about interest in remaining on the WL

If I already sent LOI, anyone think its worth it to send another update after Finals wrap up this week? or potentially redundant? Selected Option 1 for would definitely enroll at LKSOM

 

[Super_Med]

Anyone think Option 2 lowkey means they won't take you off the WL? Did they have this type of survey last year as well?

 

[Surgical Spoon]

Someone from last year's thread got off of the WL with option 2

 

[medelsh]

I think a big part of it is to make sure they don’t send acceptances to someone who knows they won’t go there for sure aka option 3

We are in the final stretch guys. Here's hoping for a lot of waitlist movement!

Did anyone else on WL not get the update email Monday? I was put on WL back in October and haven’t sent an update so thinking I may have been assumed to be not interested anymore. Will be sending an update/LOI on Monday.

The gauging interest email may have been for people more recently placed on the waitlist? Did you get that email already after you were waitlisted in October or November? Either way I think an Update/LOI would help your case! Best of luck to you, I'm also on the WL and Temple is my top choice

Did you apply ED by any chance? How were you WL in October ?

Update..I’m an idiot. I did get the email and it was in Spam 🤦‍♀️ Will be sending an email as the survey is now expired. Also I interviewed October, got the waitlist in December.

When do you guys expect movement will start

Last year it began today/tomorrow so it could be soon. No way to really know though.

And it follows trends of previous acceptance days, CYMS should update the night before around 5ish I think.

edit: I'm assuming new schools would still show up even if we've PTE'd somewhere else?

How do you know it's 5pm? Also, does anyone have anything yet?

 

[anonymoususer343434]

I don't have anything but I just remember I opened up SDN after I got home the day before they released decisions for my interview range and people had it appear on CYMS around then, can't remember the exact time tho

 

[banksy149]

Silence here as well, but based off of previous cycles initial movement should start this week!

 

[456432]

Whenever I see that someone posted on this thread

 

[anonymoususer343434]

No news? Have been so amped for today. Seems like only decision days are Tuesday/Saturday so far tho and based on last year's WL movement, was the first tuesday and saturday after decision deadline. I think I've checked CYMS 30x today

 

[14_karat]

Tuesday’s seemed like the day when things would get popping. Surprised that there is no movement today.

The only rational explanation is that there is going to be SO much waitlist movement that they need an extra few days to prepare. 🤣

It's the only thing that makes sense. Can't wait to all be classmates this upcoming year

 

[anonymoususer343434]

I guess we're waiting on Saturday, only 2 days they posted A's in the last two years *sigh*

do you think we could still hear later today or do they typically send out acceptances earlier in the day?

 

[getsuga_girl]

I guess the whole routine is if you are going to be accepted the next day, Temple will pop up on the Choose your Medical School tool the night before. If you don't have that, I wouldn't plan on hearing anything. At least that seems to be what has happened in the past.
