They just sent me an invite to complete the secondary but I am still getting an access denied message
Yup, me too! I'm a reapplicant and had to reset my password. Once I logged in, I got the same message and told to contact the system administrator. I think I'm going to reach out to admissions to see what is going on.
 
Guys can someone help explain to me the differences between the two campuses for Lewis Katz? St. Lukes versus Temple University? The link they provided for St. Lukes is broken rip. Idk how to approach the prompt about why I chose my campus..

Guys what are the campuses for Lewis Katz? how do I find out which one I applied too? sorry for being so clueless, I'm just looking at the question about my interest in my specific campus while I don't even know which one I chose...
On the supplemental you were supposed to choose which campus you wanted to apply to. There's a drop down on the 4th page to select St. Luke's or Temple. If you view your submitted app you should be able to see which you selected.

I logged out and logged back in a couple times. Just make sure you save each page before you move forward/get the error message so you don't have to keep re-entering all of the info, lol.

Thank you! Now I see this and I am confused about what the differences are. Would you happen to know if I can attribute my desire for research to either of the campuses? Or is research not a difference among them?

From what I read in the last 5 minutes or so, the big difference is that St Luke’s has a smaller class size (~40 students) and thus more interaction with faculty/peers. To my knowledge, the curriculum and everything else is pretty much the same, but somebody else may be able to weigh in.

That was my understanding as well.

Okay cool. I'm feeling like this question is more meant for the applicants who are after St. Luke's because they want a smaller class and value more interaction with faculty/peers. Is there anything special about Temple University's campus that one could bring up? Personally, I am more attracted to a larger classroom with higher odds of acceptance hahaha, but I aint typing that.

Lol honestly…I feel like that question should only be required if you picked St Luke’s. I already explained “why Temple?” in the first essay and since I am applying to the main campus, my reasons for applying are pretty much the same.
 
Did anyone else not get a complete email after submitting? Also my essays are now one block for each prompt instead of how I originally spaced them?

I kept the first essay very general, referring to the school as a whole, but then dove into why I like the smaller class size. Kind of a gamble since they only matriculate 40 into St. Luke's, but I might as well be in an environment I know I'll enjoy and thrive in.
 
In case anyone continues to have issues and getting the error message, here are some steps you can try (per the admission's office):

  1. Close all window and open programs
  2. Open up Firefox or Chrome
  3. Update to browser to most recent version. After, close window and reopen browser.
  4. Clear the cache
  5. Login here Lewis Katz School of Medicine
  6. Login using the credentials you previously created
  7. Click apply online in the red header
  8. Click on your 2022 application

Getting an error message for my Essays. Every other part of my app works. I've tried updating Google Chrome, clearing cache, logging back in and out, restarting the app. Guess there's too much traffic right now?
 
I know this is probably a self-answerable question, but if I have an aunt (mom's sister) who attended LKSOM, that doesn't count as an alumni relationship, right?
 
Does anyone know if the St. Luke’s campus actually accepts non-PA residents? I’m interested in this campus but don’t want to state it as my top choice if I have no chance (I’m OOS).
 
Did anyone get a confirmation email after they turned in their secondary?
 
Anybody else having issues with submitting their application after payment? I got an email confirming the payment last night but I checked the portal today and it says I haven't submitted the app. When I try to submit it I get sent to the payment page again.

Do we have to upload screenshots of our SAT/ACT scores? I was able to enter my scores but I have no idea how to get screenshots of them. My college board account doesn’t even seem to exist anymore.

I had to call the ACT and get my scores from back in 2012 😂
They also set me up with an account, so I could screenshot the scores there.
 
has anyone been able to successfully send the request for an IA statement? my school says they haven't received anything from temple and its been 2 days. i reached out to the admissions office but thought i'd ask here in the meantime
edit: got it resolved 🙂
