Sounds good! I went to Temple for undergrad so I think I'm using the same TUID and login credentials but I'm still not sure how it goes about. They say I have an incomplete application in TUPortal (attached), many of those items are irrelevant as if I just graduated high school. It's definitely a communication problem between the school and Main Campus.
Got it. Right, I think your Temple Credentials will stay the same since you’re a student there. I’ll probably check again at the end of the month to see if I got my login credentials.
Also if we are rejected would we receive an email/letter saying that?Has anyone interviewed via Zoom recently and gotten their acceptance? I know 1 person did and we were in the same interview On march 27 but I still haven’t received anything. getting kind of worried.
Thank you! I actually just received it a few days ago! I do have a question about cost of attendance since its the only thing that would let me pick it over my other top choice. Does anyone know what the other fees are besides tuition and how much aid is usually given?
Congratulations on your acceptance!!! I'm not sure how much aid is usually given per year but the general university fees aren't bad compared to other schools. Attached are the fees that Temple charges in addition to the tution. Since we will be considered full time students in pharmacy school, the first charge (9+ credits) would apply to us. I found this on the Temple website and am guessing that is the only fee they charge. It's best to contact the school to be certain though. I hope you find this useful.
Yes this actually helps a lot, thank you!
Great I’ll try that out too. Appreciate it!
Yes, I just tried it too. It gave me a rough estimate of my cost of attendance for the upcoming school year. Thanks for the tip!
Do you mind sharing the link to the Facebook page if possible? I was accepted a couple weeks ago and I don't know why I can't find the page when I search for it!
Hi, congratulations on your acceptance!! Here is the link to the Facebook group. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1417008878470162/

Hi! Congrats on getting an interview! Sure, can I have your email so I can send the tips/questions?Hey, i have an interview coming up this week! I have reviewed a bunch, however, would it be possible for you to send me the tips/questions so i could have a look?
[email protected] Thank you sooo much! Are you going to be attending this fall?
Thank you! I’ll send them over now.
Temple extended their deadline to July 1st now. I’m guessing it’s due to COVID-19.Temple is still doing interviews? I had no idea and it is so late in the cycle... Does anyone know anything about the waitlist? Has it been moving? I know someone who has been waiting for months now and no word yet
You’re right, it doesn’t make sense and I’m not sure why Temple is taking so long accepting applicants off the waitlist.
The administration has been SUPER SLOW responding back to students emails. I’m not sure if it’s due to COVID or the school in general but they normally take a week or more to respond.Has anyone been in contact with admissions? Been trying to find out about how many people might have accept their spots/how many spots are left and if the waitlist has been moving/when will people be notified from it. I sent out an email a couple days ago, but nothing yet. If anyone has any info, that would be greatly appreciated! The wait has been very tough
Lol no problem. I understand this wait is hectic and you should have received an answer about the waitlist. It’s not right of the school to keep you guys waiting and not give any updates. I’m sure good news will turn up soon. Just a few more days until the application cycle closes and then they should start going through the waitlist.
Did your friend hear back yet?? Sorry just curious because I am in the same boat as well...
yea. i am going to try to call again tomorrow and see if they have any updates for people on the list. Hopefully they get back to us by this week
Couple of my friends who are now a junior at Temple pharmacy told me we should be fine and that they're getting back to us late because of this whole pandemic issue. They told me not to worry and we should be fine. Keeping my fingers crossed..
It could be possible that new applications came in from June and they are currently reviewing those and inviting candidates for final interviews/sending out
.Yea, ill keep you updated for sure. Im with you, I feel it is unfair for the people who are on the waitlist/alternative list, but nothing else we can do, but wait it out and keep a positive outlook.Let's keep each other updated! If one of us hears anything back, please do let us know and I'll do the same. I just hope we hear back before orientation
Yea, thats what I'm thinking. Since last day to apply was July 1st, I'm guessing they're looking through all the applications currently and after they will look through the waitlist/alternative list.It could be possible that new applications came in from June and they are currently reviewing those and inviting candidates for final interviews/sending out
acceptance letters to those of interest before going through the waitlist, though. Let me know what they tell you! Thanks
Yeah. Let me know if you get an update from the committee.
Congratulations, you were accepted. There are like 15/20 seats left if they intend to fill the class to 160. If you want the space I recommend you to pay the deposit because they take a while to send the rest of the information and other things regarding the final acceptance. You will be fine, they are having a bit of trouble with the virus and the whole admissions things.
yea, so what i heard from multiple people was that waitlist people have to wait until all the accepted students either defer or accept. IF there are seats available then waitlist starts getting pulled
I agree. I don't know what's going on, and I've asked current students and they don't know why they're taking so long at this point. I guess all we can do is just wait and hope that we get in.
I think they're still in the middle of reviewing new applications that came in from June.
Yeah, I know they extended their deadline to July 1st for sure. I noticedwoah, it’s like 2 weeks before orientation and a little over 4 weeks before classes start and you think they would still be interviewing? Didn’t the new cycle open too for next class or..?? I really wish they didn’t move the application deadline from June 1 to July 1
i had to wait a while to get my supplementals as well. I interviewed in early February. I got an interview couple days after though after I submitted my supplementals. I'm really concerned whether waitlist will get in this cycle. I feel like they have all the seats filled up for this cycle, and won't have any spot left for waitlist applicants, considering the semester starts in about a month and i haven't heard any waitlist applicants being notified if they have been denied or accepted. It's pretty unfair to people who do not live in Pennsylvania and have to find housing and everything if they are accepted later..
Supplementals aren't really important. I've tried contacting them but get the same reply. At this point all we can do is just wait. They aren't updating us with any informationI don’t think he ever received the supplement stuff but he had his interview and they told him not to worry about it, no clue of its importance... honestly, this cycle seems like a mess and pushed way to long and all the people waiting on alternate list should have been notified by now so they can prepare instead of being kept waiting and waiting, it’s really unfair knowing (no clue how many are even still waiting for a spot) there are all these hopefuls and we don’t even know what’s happening
I agree - all we can really do is play this waiting game out and hope for the best. Did either of you apply with pharmacy experience?
yea im working at a retail pharmacy right now, and have been for 2 years
Nice!
Nice! How long did it take for you to get an interview from the date you applied?
I think it took, about 2 weeks? I don't remember. It wasn't long though
Any updates on your end? I called them the other day and was told they're still reviewing/ conducting interviews on apps.
I called them last week as well. They told me something similar, saying we have to wait until after orientation? I don't know what to expect, because the semester is starting in about a month. Keeping my fingers crossed!
No, they didn't specify how many people are on it or how many seats are left. They just told me to wait until after orientation and they will contact us. Hopefully it will be soon....
They never specified a number. Earlier you mentioned that you had a friend who was concerned because of her prerequisites. What's the status on her? Is she waiting as well?
^This was the post I was referring too.
