Yep....Interviewed April 5th, rejection letter dated April 19th...Amazing...exactly 2 weeks..... :(

I just dont get it... I expected at least to be waitlisted....with my decent stats....32 mcat, 3.8 gpa, some clinical experience etc....and my interview was pretty good as well.....oh well....
I guess my question is how do I go about finding out why I was rejected...and what I can do to improve my application for next year...any suggestions?

Email or call the admissions director and ask him/her why you got rejected and what can you do to improve. also ask other schools who have rejected you the same thing. that way you get a better idea.

i haven't heard from Temple ever since I submitted the secondary. they don't give any information over the phone or email about the status of application. hopefully they will answer your question since they have made the decision about your app.

Now you have got me worried. My stats are not as good as yours and I also felt that my interview went very well. The interviewer even mentioned that he would love to see me there in Fall.

But, after reading your post, you got me worried. I guess I will find out soon!!

sorry to hear, shuey, I hope you get accepted somewhere else, good luck! I interviewed 3/23 and still haven't heard from them. When did you interview with them Gujju?

Did you say or do something during your interview that red flagged you for rejection?

Has anyone who interviewed in march or april actually get accepted to Temple?

I interviewed back on 3/22 and was waitlisted. Considering that admissions told those of us interviewing that only a few acceptances would be given out this late in the game, thus implying we were interviewing for the waitlist, I expect that few people here have received an acceptance after a March or April interview.

Is anyone the exception to this statement?
