for anyone who has interviewed already - any advice you can give on the 3 different interviews and how they differ?
all pretty traditional questions, I think the biggest difference is who your community interviewer is because some seem to be more stressful than others. Know your application and Temples mission well and you will fine!for anyone who has interviewed already - any advice you can give on the 3 different interviews and how they differ?

Interviewed in early November. Was also told the same thing. I think the adcoms member said decisions would go out the week prior to their winter break. Not sure how true this all is tho.in my interview they said december would be the next decision wave (or at least for my interview group)🫣. hopefully they stick to that lol

based on what I was told in my interview this week its not really about when the interview occurred but really just when all your interviewers have their info on you in and when your primary interviewer is able to present you to the rest of the adcoms for consideration.does anyone know which interview dates are eligible for the dec A wave

If someone has any advice with this it would be greatly appreciated- I interviewed late November and know this school is my top choice. I want to send an update + intent letter soon but want to wait to include my semester grades (which I receive early next week). Because it sounds like they send decisions next week...does anyone have advice on best the timing of everything?

Decisions have already been made for this wave. Wait for your decision, if you get accepted, then you save your effort. If not, write your letterIf someone has any advice with this it would be greatly appreciated- I interviewed late November and know this school is my top choice.

I interviewed 12/11 and they said during the interview that decisions likely will be out sometime next week, but didn't specify which day specifically. if not it would be February/march for the next wave.

from what I gathered from admissions, the nebulous ADCOM handles admissions for both campuses. Considering that the same group of people do admissions for both campuses, i would assume they have the same schedule, but im honestly just speculatingDid you interview for North Philly?

Yeah that would make sense, I interviewed for St Luke’s last month and I SWEAR they told us we wouldn’t hear until February but honestly I was a little zoned out so who knows 😂 hoping it’s this week though!from what I gathered from admissions, the nebulous ADCOM handles admissions for both campuses.

+1 to add some general hope! Some high stats apps or people with multiple acceptances likely will start rejecting interview invites and acceptances they receive in the next few months (many T20s release decisions January and February, if I get an offer from one I know I am withdrawing all my apps from everywhere else). My friend got accepted to two of their top choices last cycle early in the new year and declined an interview invite they received shortly after and withdrew from the rest of their schools 🙂I believe that most schools are still giving out IIs at this point. I have a friend who had 3 interviews last April, and ended the cycle with 3 acceptances! Although class sizes might seem small, recognize that most schools accept more applicants than they matriculate (not going to estimate a number or percentage to avoid perjuring myself).
Temple specifically interviewed consistently into the end of March last year (and maybe longer) according to cycletrack, which is biased towards early interviews being reported, so definitely don't give up hope here! I highly recommend sending updates if you have them because I have heard that it really helps boost your general chances for an invite January and later! You got this!!

i interviewed dec 12 and they also told us results would be out this week. The committee was said to have met last friday (12/13) and as long as your interviewer finished their report by friday, you should in theory hear back this week (and they told us that even we might hear with a one day turn around for reports so hopefully anyone before last week will get a response)

I really thought the decisions were going to come out yesterday since they seem to release decisions on Tuesdays (based on Cycletrack)...the waiting is by far the worst part of the application process
