Members do not see this ad.

I wonder if anyone got Temple interview? This is my state school, and still waiting. Any ideal which day of the week (mon, tue, etc..) they often offer for interview date. I need a spot to reserve for Temple. 😴

When I called earlier this week they said they wouldn't hand out interview invites until October.

Thanks alot dunkaroos

It's a fun interview. If you're not familiar with their interview, search for dentalWork's post about interview day (probably two years old by now). Or PM me. I'm always good for dishing more info than you could ever want.

How hard is it to get an interview from temple with my stats? I'm out of state and batch 1 but have not received invite

temple does not favor in state applicants. it is not a state school, and they dont give preference to PA residents. so it doesnt matter that u are out of state.
ur stats are good, u will probably hear from them soon.

Weird.They say they do cream of the crop as the cycle goes on. So first batch and good stats should be good to go.

 

[colombianDDS]

Never mind I just got my interview today thanks.....I always thought it was a state school... they have lower tuition for PA residents

I would say its a hybrid. they dont give much preference to in state, but there is about a 10k difference between instate and OOS tuition( I believe OOS = 54K for the year, instate is about 44k).

Oh that's so weird. I always thought it was a state school. Do you know why the tuition difference?

[azimmer]

mannn I'm really wanting that interview. Anyone from the 2nd batch get one :/? Hopefully I hear back this week.

 

[Tunaman]

Apparently the acceptance rate is about 80% for out of state students who get interviews for temple (didn't bother calculating for instate). Good news for anybody with interview.

Where did you get that # ? (resource)

I was hoping to hear back as well (2nd batch). Seems like I have hit a brick wall in regards to interview invites.

Same here! I only have a few schools left that I really want to hear from but haven't (temple being one of them). Maybe they're skipping around cause at least we didn't get a rejection yet so theres still hope for us for the rest of this week!

 

[user101]

my temple interview is oct 4 at 8am..how do ppl know in what 'batch' they are?

3rd batch and haven't heard a peep

I am a D2 at temple, if anyone has any questions, please feel free to ask.

 

[Bis-GMA111]

what made you choose temple over other schools (if you got into >1 school) ?

 

[bing12]

what made you choose temple over other schools (if you got into >1 school) ?

I chose temple over a few other private schools in the area.

1) the environment, students seemed happier than the other d-schools, and friendlier.

2) Cost, temple relative to other private schools in the area is cheaper. also, the living costs are also lower in philly.

3) clinical reputation

as of now, I am very happy of the decision I made, Temple has been great.
