Are you doing anything active in using the medical skills you learned in Philly ( preferably pertaining to TEACH/THRIVE clinics)? I really want to get some insight into what it's like.

It was a little difficult for my class in particular, given that a lot of extracurricular activities/annual club events were put on hold because of the pandemic. However, I was able to participate in a health screening event through another club this year, where students measured blood pressure, calculated height/weight for BMI, did eye exams, etc. If you would like more info, please DM me. I can see if there's someone you can speak with about TEAC/THRIVE.

Is there any current students that can speak on whether the exams are in-house questions or NBME?
 
Does anyone have the match list for this year? I can’t find it anywhere, also it looks like they didn’t post their step 1 and 2 pass rates and avg scores, anyone have those? Thanks!

I second this notion about the Temple match list. Couldn't find it either. Thanks!

Thanks! Yea I interviewed in January, got on the WL in March and then off the waitlist.

Did you list Temple as your first choice on the survey for those accepted off the CC list? Or did you just list it as one of your top choices?
Click to expand...
Yeah I picked the first option, which was that Temple was my first choice.
 
Does anybody know anything about the Temple waitlist? It looks like a couple of people have gotten in, but its hard being so in the dark on this. Are acceptances sent out in bunches? Have many spots been filled since the beginning of May? In my interview I thought they said that they take a lot of people off the waitlist but at this point I'm not sure where things stand.

I believe the individuals who got in were interviewed relatively early ( January), so I think they are going through the waitlist according to the date you interviewed. I interviewed on April 6th, so I honestly expect some time before I hear anything back. Still optimistic!

Seems like it. Has any one that interviewed March - Apr been accepted yet?

Hm, I wonder if that’s the case. I interviewed March 22, hoping I can hear back sooner rather than later!
 
Soo do we think that there's yet to be a big wave of WL movement coming up? I'm a little concerned since on last year's thread it seemed like the biggest wave of WL movement was in the first week of May...

Considering the low count (109) in this year’s FB group, I feel like a big wave is still fair game

It seems like last year there was a lot of movement. Only two people in here were offered acceptances as of last week off the WL, so it seems like there would still be quite a bit of movement that will happen.
 
To those who sent LOIs, did you upload them to the application portal or email the admissions office? I uploaded mine to the portal a few weeks ago but don't know if it should have been sent via email

I sent mine via email. I am not sure whether they are still using the original secondary application portal or not (after they told me they would add it to my file, it was never uploaded to the secondary portal).
 
I was expecting more people to hear back today because I thought Tuesday was a common decision day for them... I'm so confused as well
 
I'm getting increasingly anxious and losing hope 🙁 The FB group is at 116 (I feel neurotic checking so often) but I keep thinking there must be people accepted who don't have facebook

116 is a great number considering a typical class size of ~160. Usually FB groups have more than the class size due to current med student joining in
 
idk if this is helpful but I’m in the Facebook group, and there are no current students except for the one MS1 admin. There have been +15 people in the past week but unsure if these are from the WL or just people who delayed joining

Thanks for sharing! I think that is pretty encouraging. I also think the classes tend to be closer towards 200 than 160 so there are still potentially quite a few spots open.

Is it possible there’s just minimal waitlist movement this year? 🙁
Click to expand...
I mean it is possible, but it seems like there will still be a wave of acceptance coming. It is only May 11th and based on everything it seems like there are likely some spots to fill

How were you added to the FB page? I was admitted off of the wait list last Tuesday and haven't gotten anything about that yet.

It was sent in an email to people who were already admitted at the time of second look. If you search on Facebook for Lewis Katz school of medicine class of 2026 you should be able to see it and request to join
 
Does any one know if Temple students needs cars to get around or is Septa enough? Especially for clinicals
 
I just got an acceptance letter just now. Interviewed 1/19, waitlisted late February. Y'all got this!

I had end of April waitlist. Seems like everything has been from earlier interviews thus far. Would be nice to know what their process is.

I think maybe the waitlist is ranked by the order you were put on? Maybe not, but just throwing that out there.

Feel like I’ve several people who interviewed in January get off.

It depends on where you live (for preclinicals). If you're in proximity to the broad street line you don't need a car, but if you live up in Roxborough/Manayunk/East Falls you probably will. During clinical years you will most likely need a car, as some clinical sites are pretty far.
