Hey everyone! I haven't seen a thread for this yet, so I thought I would start it. I have applied to the Temple ACMS program as well as their regular M.D. program. Anyone else apply to this program?

 

[jkk21]

Hey! I applied for the ACMS program last week, although I'm still waiting for my PostBacCAS to be received.

I think they are pretty fast with the turnaround!

 

[Medschoolpls2023]

So glad you made this thread! My app for LKSOM ACMS was verified on December 2nd - I have not heard anything since. Has anyone heard anything yet?

Yea I applied around that time as well! I have not heard anything from them as well.

 

[AnotherPre-med]

just came across this thread! I was complete 12/9.

does anyone know when II start?

I think it starts around march? I might be wrong though. I completed around that time as well!

 

[premed1000097]

Super glad someone made a thread! I was complete 12/31. Based on previous threads, interviews start going out in March so I will be high strung until then lmao

 

[apn9892]

Hey guys! I was complete 12/17. Just waiting for a response like everyone else

 

[AnotherPre-med]

do any of you know the stats needed for this program?

 

[jkk21]

I’ve heard from some that they care more about your service or volunteership, but then I also saw on older threads here that GOA is pretty crucial. Not sure what to believe!

I’ll definitely keep y’all posted on that front with my 3 years/5000 hours of non-clinical volunteering post graduation compared to my low end stats haha

Hi there! Does anyone know if there is a thread for their BCHS postbacc program for 2021-22?

 

[Medschoolpls2023]

Hi there! Does anyone know if there is a thread for their BCHS postbacc program for 2021-22?

I thought this was no longer being offered?

 

[JackofAllM@sterofNone]

The basic sciences by the college of science and technology is still being offered

oh cool! The website for acms says that BCMS wasn't offered anymore, so I'm not too sure about the status of that program.

 

[AnotherPre-med]

does anyone have an II? Just checked the website and it said interviews are conducted from Jan-May..

I don't think they send out interviews until March. The previous threads will tell you when people started getting interviews.

 

[JackofAllM@sterofNone]

I have one next Wednesday from 11 - 3p

I'm applying for ACMS and I just got an invitation to interview on February 24th! Does anybody know of any related threads with interview experiences or tips? This is my first one of the cycle and it seems like a pretty extensive day, so any advice is appreciated!

Congrats! Unfortunately no advice on interviews, but do you mind sharing stats and complete day so we can gauge where they're at in the process? Thank you!

Well, any specific questions that I have answers to but also can try to connect you with others to help if there is a question I cannot answer. Good luck to everyone on this journey! Such an important step towards your future and one that is not easy to take. Be proud of how far you have come already!

 

[mightyATP]

to those interviewing on 2/24, do you guys have the interview links yet? I have received nothing besides the II email

 

[jkk21]

Did you send them your SAT/ACT score instead?

Yes I did, my ACT was a 34 composite score

 

[jkk21]

I haven't received an links yet either, I figure if by tomorrow afternoon I still don't have anything then I'll send a follow-up email

CONGRATS TO EVERYONE THAT HAS GOTTEN AN INTERVIEW! I'm sending positive energy to you all! Does anyone how the invitation process works for acms? I applied in early December, so does that mean they already reviewed my application?

What does your portal say?

 

[AnotherPre-med]

What does your portal say?

like the postbaccas or the temple university one?

 

[Dr.Gains]

like the postbaccas or the temple university one?

Either. Does it say "Under Review" or something else?

 

[4ever12]

ACMS interviewees don't get TUPortal access, so there's nothing really that indicates what step of the process you're in other than Temple's emails.

 

[AnotherPre-med]

Either. Does it say "Under Review" or something else?

Going of what the guy above me said, I don't think they update the portal. Both of them just says "completed."

 

[apn9892]

For those who interviewed yesterday, does anyone know when we’ll hear back? I thought on the website it said we’d hear some kind of update in a week but I can’t find it anymore.

 

[mightyATP]

Anyone know turnaround time post-interview

 

[jkk21]

I think the expected waiting time is supposed to be around 2 weeks after the interview

 

[doctry23]

Just submitted my application tonight... hope it's not too late! Did anyone else apply Feb/March?

 

[mightyATP]

Anyone know if we hear decisions this week?

 

[mightyATP]

It’s been two weeks since interview😬 I’m so nervous

 

[apn9892]

I emailed them today and they said we should hear “soon”

 

[NMJ]

I applied middle/late Feb!

 

[mightyATP]

How soon is soon lol

 

[doctry23]

People who got interviews - can you share your science GPA and clinical hours?

 

[NMJ]

People who got interviews - can you share your science GPA and clinical hours?

[mambamed824]

Hi everyone! Super excited to be applying to Temple's ACMS program! Would anyone know the timeline between going under review and being invited for interviews? I was put under review earlier this week, and I just wanted to know what the timeline was going forward! Good luck to you all and I hope we can all get positive news!! 🙂
