Can anyone speak to the differences between North Philly campus and St.Lukes campus
I read in previous years' threads.... seems like odds-wise, it is harder to get into St Luke given that it only has 40 spots. If some people are applying to Temple b/c of LizzyM score/recommendation, then is applying to St Luke a mistake?

If I elect to not upload my ACT score, should I just leave this section blank or indicate that I took the ACT and just not report a score?
 
This is the first time I've seen this SAT/ACT question. I'm a nontrad so I took those tests over 10 years ago... I don't even know where I would go to find the results, and I certainly don't remember them. I obviously don't want to lie and say I took neither. Would just putting "Unk." for all the score values suffice, since they say it's optional (despite requiring a selection of an answer)?
What did you end up doing for this?

Is Temple's secondary portal always this laggy? Submitted everything and hopefully the lag didn't cause any mistakes

Bit of a niche question, but does anyone know if the Doctoring Colleges are exclusive to the Philadelphia campus, or are there some at the Bethlehem campus?
 
So i am really finding it hard to differentiate between both campuses and what they offer. I am not a resident of Philly so i am not exactly sure what to look out for. Can anyone help??

Look at their website

So for differences, I would say St. Luke's is a smaller class size (~40), mostly rotating at one hospital, a small town feel, and you get lectures from the same doctors who you do clinical rotations with at the same hospital system.

Haha I always talk about community for Why Us medical school, not sure why they just didn't combine 1) and 2) into a single question
 
Does anyone know whether the interviews are in person or online? Their website doesn't make it super clear.

Submitted to Bethlehem campus today! Will post updates when they come!

The website mentions, "For applicants under consideration for the St. Luke’s Regional Campus, interviews will be held with St. Luke’s faculty members in Bethlehem." I would assume the same can be said for the North Philly campus but maybe not. No real point in stressing about it now, hopefully once II come out, those that get them can clarify.

OOS, RD, 4.0 GPA, and 507 MCAT - submitted secondary/complete on 7/13 and haven't gotten any updates
 
Is anyone else getting a "There was an error, please see the system administrator!" message when they try to log into the portal?

I was just coming here to ask this as well. This portal does not like my information at all. I can't access my account at all sadly.
 
I had that error several weeks ago and after a quiet panic that this was an indirect way of saying I'd gotten the R, I emailed admissions - ultimately what seems to have happened was that my previous Temple account got tangled with my current med-school-app account.

If you've tried using a different browser/incognito and you're still having issues, shoot them an email. They were very patient/helpful.
 
II just now- IS, complete 7/29, 73 LM

Congrats to those who received an II!!!!

Quick question about lingo. When folks say "complete", is that when they submitted the app or when they received the complete email?

complete email. you can still submit a secondary with pending LORs, MCAT, casper, etc. They just won’t review it until everything is in (when you are “complete”)

Congrats to those getting interviews, how exciting. Has anyone received an interview for the Temple St. Luke's/Bethlehem campus?

thank you for posting this. i too found my II in my spam just now. IS complete 07/29
Just wanted to know if somehow we miss checking spam emails, at least the II would be there in the portal? I check portal every week....I am afraid if I have missed any emails

There should be an alert for completion in the middle of the home page, and another link on the bottom to schedule an interview

My secondary portal does not show any indication of a II. It is only accessible through the new TU portal they send you in the II email
 
That is quite alarming. I wish there was another way to check in case we do miss an email that goes to spam.

Do I have any St. Luke’s applicants with me here?

It looks like the IIs so far have gone to Philadelphia applicants! I get the vibe that they’re separate enough that St. Luke’s might send IIs independently, but I could be totally wrong.

I visited the St. Luke’s Hospital in Bethlehem this past weekend while on my way to a concert in Allentown. Very lovely place, and one of my top choices! Super hoping to get an interview there!
