Same boat as you 🙁 Does anyone know if this program sees decent waitlist movement? and when would that occur?

I think it would be after May 15th, and Temple website says after April 30th they reconsider the continued consideration folks. But it seems pretty random, past years' threads show some ppl got off CC quickly and some waited months...

Y’all are over here interviewing and getting responses, meanwhile I’m still trying to send transcripts to postbaccas... we are not the same
speaking of which, do we need to send transcripts directly to temple separate of postbaccas? My temple checklist says they’re missing my transcripts which I didn’t realize I needed to send them

Nope, they just have to be sent if you get accepted.
“ Official transcripts from all colleges attended should be uploaded to the PostbacCAS Application. Instructions can be found HERE. Official final transcripts should not be sent to the LKSOM Office of Admissions until an acceptance has been issued”
I wouldn’t think so. Can’t imagine they would push back the deadline and then not entertain those applications at all.
Oh! where on the website did you see that?
Anyone else that interviewed notice a changed status in TUPortal? Haven’t gotten an email but noticed a change there.
Just checked - it says "admitted" but the instructions are confusing. I didn't get an email either. What does yours say?
Same thing, don't want to count my chickens before they hatch.
Same, let's wait and see!
Right there with y’all. Instructions make no sense but also when I get the email it’ll be real.

Can someone link the TU portal website? Is it the same as the Secondary App portal?
I never got a link for a TUportal. Only for the Secondary App portal and PostBacCAS

Admissions Interview
Got the email this morning too!
They sent a link to create a login specifically for my TUid so I don't think it's shareable. I would email them and ask!
Also got the email. See you there in fall!
Are y’all just planning on taking the loans?
Any creative ideas

I applied relatively recently...Does anyone know when the next interview date is/how long it takes around to hear back regarding them?
You'll probably hear back around May for an interview at the latest
Ahh okay. Yeah I did email them but the answer wasn’t super clear. They said students only get a TU Portal when they are admitted?
Hmmmm that's definitely not the case because most of us here made an account on the portal after receiving the email. Tell them you're referring to an email from [email protected] with the subject line "Thank you for your application to Temple University". Otherwise, the email I listed is for the collective office of Temple graduate school admissions so maybe just email them directly and ask them to resend it to you?
Hey guys! I'm a future applicant for ACMS and I was wondering if anyone would mind sharing the secondary prompts so I could get a head start? I tried searching for them on this forum but not sure if I missed it? I was told it might benefit me to get a head start with all my free time because the prompts don't change much over the years.
Sure!
In addition to the personal statement, these were the questions: (2000 Characters)
1) Tell us about your special interest in the clinical campus you selected.
2) LKSOM seeks an engaged student body with a wide variety of backgrounds, experiences, perspectives, and interests to enhance the medical school experience for everyone. Please describe what makes you unique as an applicant, an obstacle that you had to overcome and how you will enrich the LKSOM community.
3) What are you doing between October and the beginning of the program?

I only got the TUportal email after I was admitted! I definitely don't think it's a big deal if you don't ask them.

Took me less than two weeks!
For anyone who interviewed or was accepted to ACMS, do you mind sharing your stats? I applied to both ACHS and ACMS and have an interview with ACHS coming up, but I have not heard from ACMS yet (probably because I still need to take the CASPer test on May 4). Thanks!
Did anyone get an interview invite in the last two weeks?
Does anyone know what courses fulfill the humanities requirement listed on PostbacCAS for temple ACMS? I couldn't find any info about this prereq on their website.
It's pretty flexible I think - any language, art, social science, philosophy etc classes. The only requirement if you apply for ACMS is those 8 credits of basic sciences with labs.
Yes, but it requires a certain undergrad gpa outside of the achs program, a certain post bacc gpa and a certain SAT score to be considered.
Thank you! So you don't have to have the humanities courses to apply for ACMS?
Can you please share the requirements?
undergrad GPA of 3.3+, SAT score of 1350, 3.7+ GPA in Post-Bacc, no more than one MCAT with a minimum score of 509
No problem! In my understanding, you don't need specific humanities courses (like the sciences ones need to be orgo, gen chem etc) but you will have to assign certain humanities courses in the prereq section of PostbacCAS. There's more leeway so just pick what you would consider "non-science" humanities classes from all your coursework.
They are accepting apps until may 15

You don't need to prep much for CASPer. It is mostly ethics-based and there are a few scenarios you can run through on the site/other resources. It does take around 3 weeks for them to score it however and a few days for Temple to accept/process it. They did say a May CASper is okay though so I am sure they are accounting for this while reviewing applications!
Sorry I just saw this. Go ahead!
There isn’t any provided housing I’m aware of. I’m looking for a place somewhere off the broad street line to commute up

There are tons of housing options throughout the city and public transpo is fairly accessible/reliable from most neighborhoods! The broad street line of the subway system goes directly to Temple’s campus.
I currently live in Philly, so if you have any specific housing questions, feel free to reach out.
