2022-2023 Temple

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I was complete 7/15 and have been waiting so eagerly to hear back from Temple (Philly campus). My MCAT is low but I thought our mission fit couldn't be more aligned (born in Philly/lived here my whole life/ majority of my work done in North Philly, have a deep understanding of Temple's greater community, bilingual in Spanish, etc). Trying to not get discouraged but can't help feeling I've been passed over. Hoping others feel the same way and good luck to everyone🙂
Wow! I’m not as impressive as you as an applicant, but temple is also my top school 🙂. It’s a dream of mine to become involved in their oncological clinical trials at fox chase cancer center. I emailed their admissions team on how they want us to send updates. When they get back to me, I’ll let you know what they say so we can try to renew their interest!

OOS, my LOR is from a Temple physician, was complete 8/3 and have heard nothing since... anyone know if they do silent rejections? Anyone else around that completion date heard anything? I interviewed for PA school at Temple (obvi didn't get in), but I'm kind of hoping that means they'll want to interview me for med too.... even tho obvi I know they're unrelated ugh. Wishful thinking

I was marked complete July 14th, I am OOS but used to live near Philadelphia-haven't heard anything yet
 
During the interview day, they said a round of decisions would go out in November. Does anyone know or remember if they said when during the month that would happen?

They didn’t specify. Their diction made it seem like mid November, but looking at last year, I am expecting it the week of thanksgiving

II for Bethlehem campus at 3 AM!! IS LM 71 complete 8/3
Congrats on the interview! When is your interview scheduled? If you have a chance, will you come back and update us after your interview if they give any sort of timeline for decisions and seats filled. Wondering if the St Luke's campus fills their class faster/sooner....

Pretty sure from my interview that they still release decisions once in November, December, and so on through February. You can be accepted, marked a "continuing applicant," or rejected. I think this is also what Philly does but I don't really know!

That was my perspective from the Philly interview as well. Let's see how it goes.

Thanks! My options to schedule were for next Tuesday or the following Tuesday. If I learn anything different from what’s been said I’ll post.
 
Does anyone know how to withdraw our application post-secondary?
I think you might have to email them. I poked around the application portal a little bit and didn't see anything. Its a bit of a funky website for me though, everything takes a while to load.
 
Anyone else notice notice that little arrow that shows up on the application status now?

I’m losing it
 
What do you mean?

Granted it might’ve always been there and I never noticed. Either way I don’t think it means anything and we probably won’t hear back till 11/22.
 
Hopefully they’ll do acceptance calls next week! They said mid November!
Last year decisions weren’t released until the week of thanksgiving, so I’m thinking that’s when they’ll be released this year.

This is the kind of high-quality content I come here for.

Mentally preparing for the CC/Waitlist the week of thanksgiving. My birthday is coming up in a few days tho Temple... so feel free to throw me a bone <3
 
Does Temple accept update letters? Their portal have “miscellaneous items,” and I can’t find any policy on update letters.

The complete email says

"While not required, if there are any updates you would like to add to your file you can log back into the LKSOM Supplemental Application."

in it so I'm assuming you can put and update letter in. I did cuz why not?
 
In terms of the small group interviews with community members did the community members ask if the group had any questions for them?

I wanna say no? I don't remember any of us asking them a question, and I feel like we definitely would have had the chance been given.

Our community interviewer asked if we had any. So it was a good opportunity for me to ask question and actually make the community member feel heard
