Super excited for the interview! I'm wondering how the interview will exactly be set up, since I know that it's pretty long (about 6 hrs total) and there's some writing activity. Anyone have insight?

Congratulations on the interview! Do you mind sharing when is it and is it in person? I never heard of the writing activity!

I wonder when I'll hear back after my interview. Past SDN threads looks like anywhere from 2 days to 6 weeks

Have you taken the mcat?
 
Hello! Congrats to those who interviewed today! Hope it went well. I had a couple of questions. Do you mind sharing how many people they were interviewing today? And did they say when they’ll get back to you? And, lastly how many students are they planning to accept this cycle?

Hey have you heard back from Temple?
 
Does anyone know if a 3.0sGPA would be too low to apply for this program? I know it is really competitive and I'm scared of spending so much money on the app to just receive an immediate rejection lol

I applied with the same sGPA in mid January but they got my first LOR in October. I haven't heard anything yet, and I know this was a big reach for me. I don't think your sGPA is too low for consideration but it might be a little late in the cycle to be applying, especially if you still need to take CASPer, because I think the app closes in a month. Feel free to PM me too! I'm glad to see someone else with a lower sGPA here 🙂

It was a long day, but honestly really fun. All the other candidates seemed really great. Interviews were very conversational and I really enjoyed the day. Still waiting to hear back!

Has anyone been accepted yet?
Doesn't look like it, it's been so long, has anyone had luck with the iffice picking up their phone/anyone tell them when the Feb 3 interviewers will hear back?
 
They said 2-3 weeks after the interview. Was hoping to hear today, but haven't heard anything yet.
Did anyone contact the office and ask when they would send decisions?
Temple is definitely my first choice, but I have to let other places know soon so hopefully they get back within the next week or two.
