It’s tomorrow. Just added it to my post

 

[mjf304]

From David Dams after I told him I wouldn’t have my Casper scores by December 15

“As long as you are scheduled for CASPer and released that information to Temple, you are eligible for a decision, so don’t worry about that.“ if anyone is interested.

Do we email them to let them know we scheduled? Or do nothing? Wow thanks for this! If i understand correctly, do we still get a dec 15 decision?

Not sure tbh 😅

But yeah seems like they will give you a decision on the 15th potentially

that'd be great, the email said "The evaluation can be taken before or after your interview but must be completed in order to be fully reviewed for a decision by the Admissions Committee." Should we email about this or just wait and see

Yeah, seems pretty contrary to what David said. Might be worth reaching out but I feel like I’ve used up all my questions with David lol

Thanks, let me know what you hear. When I emailed them about something else before my interview it took about a week for them to respond so hopefully its quicker than that.

It was confirmed to me in my interview today that they only need to know that you have a CASPer scheduled. You don't have to have taken it to be considered Dec 15th.

Any recs on parking for the visit day?

 

[macsak]

Any recs on parking for the visit day?

ask the school...

 

[mjf304]

Why even respond if you’re just going to divert the question… The school will take 3 weeks to respond. There is free parking on the streets around the school but the neighborhood isn’t great. Depending on where you’re coming from you could park anywhere near the broad street line and take the train to the school. I forget which stop it is but google maps can guide you. The stop is right next to the school.

 

[smilesunicorn]

Any recs on parking for the visit day?

I second parking near another broad street line station and taking the subway in. I recommend going down to the undergrad campus as there's a lot of parking there and it's much safer and has security. Then you could go to the Cecil B Moore subway station and take the northbound Broad Street line to Alleghany station which lets you off right at the doors of the dental school! I'm sure nothing horrible would happen if you do end up parking around the school, but I wouldn't recommend it unless you don't have other options.

 

[toothking03]

Accepted! Informed at midnight. Congrats to everyone!

[dentalstudent267]

If I took casper a week ago, did I need to inform them of that to be considered today? And if so, was it mentioned in any of the materials they sent that this was necessary?
