Okay your stats are pretty good, the only thing I’d say is that if u applied back in June and haven’t heard back yet, it might be worth studying for a retake. I think the average for acceptance is around a 21 for Temple, but especially now that you have the basis since you took the exam once and have studied for it before, I’d say a retake would be worth it.

Yeah that's the plan. I had a rough time studying with life stuff and studied pretty much one month only. Hopefully with the prior knowledge and 3 months of studying, I can do much better.

I had an interview two weeks ago and at the end of the interview they let me know I was waitlisted

did they say you were waitlisted based on the interview? or because people who interviewed later are automatically waitlisted

 

[floss87]

Could anyone please tell me what to expect during the interview? Is it rapid fire Q&A to the camera, or is it more conversational? Thanks in advance! Good luck to everyone!

it’s only 15 minutes so from what i’ve heard it’s very quick question and answers and onto the next. it’s not going to be very conversational you don’t have enough time for that

 

[_khushipatel]

Did they tell everyone that has interviewed recently that they’re automatically going on a waitlist? Also, I can’t remember when they said that that their second deposit was due? Because I was told that people will start dropping off after that date

Does Temple usually experience a lot of WL movement?

Does Temple usually experience a lot of WL movement?

Yes, from what I've heard Temple tends to have a lot of WL movement.

 

[AceofSpades10]

Has Temple sent out any "Are you still interested" emails yet?

I really hope so!!!!

 

[LS7]

Has Temple sent out any "Are you still interested" emails yet?

I’m pretty sure they haven’t

 

[dent_m24]

Has Temple sent out any "Are you still interested" emails yet?

[_khushipatel]

Is there anyone who hasn’t received this email?

 

[btou113]

me

Did you interview?

 

[btou113]

Did you interview?

No interview .

 

[AceofSpades10]

It was mentioned that those emails are only for those who interviewed so if you haven't gotten an R, then you still have a shot

 

[AceofSpades10]

I interviewed and didn’t receive it that’s why was confused!

Oh! You can maybe send a letter of interest if you haven't already

 

[first aid]

Did anyone get the offer letter today? In the last call they were telling the committee will meet on 18th, if i heard it correctly.

Which call?

 

[first aid]

Which call?

Campus virtual visit call.

 

[_khushipatel]

Campus virtual visit call.

Oh okay, I was there too, not sure if I heard that part. If they did say that, they should be sending it out this or next week

Let's hope so. Tension mounts day by day

 

[first aid]

Does anyone have any information/estimate on how many seats are still open as of now? March 15th was the deadline for paying fees for people who were offered previously right? So earlier vacant seats + people who did not accept will be the final available seats right, any rough estimates or thoughts or guesses on how many they may have?

 

[floss87]

Has anyone gotten off the waitlist?

 

[first aid]

Has anyone gotten off the waitlist?

Waiting, waiting, and still waiting

 

[asimon20]

Do you guys think there's still a chance to get an interview from them this late in the cycle? I sent a letter on interest a couple weeks ago and I'm still holding on to hope.

For sure, I got one last cycle on June 8th 2023 after applying Sept 23rd 2022. Unlikely, but not impossible.

I believe you accepted some other school. What factors made you reject Temple and accept another school if I may ask?
