I just got an interview invite via email today, too. I'm going next Friday. They're only interviewing next week and the week after (when most schools i know of have finals). Initially, I said I might not be able to make any of the dates in the next 2 weeks, and the woman on the phone said that they won't be doing more interviews until ~early Feb/maybe late Jan. I decided to just go for next Friday b4 my finals. They literally said "when would you like to come in for an interview," so its basically your choice of when you wanna go. Pretty exciting and unexpected good news.
I can't make it next week or the week after. Another school did this to me. They gave me 2 dates. One was less than a week away and the other the week after. Is a month notice really that much to ask. I had to delcine those 2 dates and they said they wont contact me until the next dates: maybe in January. UgH.
I got an interview as well 🙂
I think I'm going to aim for an interview next week. As hectic as the short notice is, I'd imagine my chances are much greater the earlier I interview.
Now to find a suit...

I'll call them tomorrow morning to book.
And I'm sure dockers and a collared shirt plus tie would be fine apparel. Keep us posted on your interview questions! I heard one can be 'what is the difference between and phd and a pharmd?'- please dont screw that one up!

I received an interview invite as well, but I have yet to call. Interviewing over the Christmas holidays would be great so I wouldn't have to miss class for it next semester, but I'm worried about the timing/cost of securing a flight so soon.
They're doing interviews this week and i think the following and they wont know the interview schedule for next semester until the beginning of January. You dont pick any day you want, you pick from a certain selection of days they provide you.
I chose to hold off on this round of interviews b/c holiday flights are very expensive right now. I suggest calling asap! you dont want your name to be removed from the list.

Bump: Scheduled my interview for the 15th. Anyone else interviewing these next few weeks or interview already?

Has anyone had issues with the Temple admissions office? I have tried emailing three of their admissions personnel over the course of the past 3 months and have called and have had either no response or a complete lack of professionalism. Especially with Joan. Does anyone know someone at Temple admissions that tends to be a little more accessible/facilitative?
I've called them in the past using the phone number on the supp application and had no problems.
Same here. No issues. (215)707-4900........Is anyone interviewing with me tomorrow at 1pm?
It's my first choice mostly because of cost, location, and I already go to TU as an undergrad.
For those with problems with the admissions office, I've never had a problem with them but who knows, you could just be unlucky? Not sure.
My interview was yesterday, goodfellas! lol
Temple is probably my 2-4 choice, but I could definitely see myself going there. My main interest in TU is the proximity of so many awesome hospitals. Also, Southeast PA/basically all of NJ is saturated with pharmaceutical companies. I like the idea that there'd be so many opportunities to do internships/rotations/etc within a short drive from campus.
The interview was pretty relaxed, although I still felt a little awkward at first having a group interview. The faculty members were very well-spoken and reassuring. On a side note, I thought it was hilarious how virtually everyone I came in contact with indirectly bashed TJU in an attempt to try and steer people away from there. Hopefully they are quick with their acceptance letters😀. I feel like yesterday might've been the first interview on the cycle.
sunniexdayzz, i know exactly who you are haha.

Hey Sunnie and Goodfellas, I'm pretty sure I remember both of you, I also interviewed on the tenth. I really liked that interview, it was very relaxed IMO. Anyone else interviewed on 10th? Good luck to all!!!
Hey Sunnie keep me posted on the LECOM interview. I will be going on the 27th.

Are you answering my question with another question?

hey everyone...just curious about one of temples prereqs...the mosaic course? i'm trying to decide whether or not to submit an app there but i was kind of thrown off by that course. does anyone who doesnt currently go to temple let me know what they took to satisfy that requirement? or does anyone know if those credits can be waived if you already have a bachelors degree?
thanks for your help!
thanks for your help!
To my understanding they can be waived with a History. I haven't take them and it wasn't an issue when I was interviewed (they go over your prerequisite during the interview). If you check on their website, or the supplemental application, it will tell you what they will take as an elective.
To answer you mine was a group interview. I wouldn't worry to much, is a very relaxed interview in my opinion.
If you are referring after the interview, they say you can normally hear from them in about 4-6 weeks.
Accepted as well! And I found out from Jefferson 10 minutes before that! Yayyyyy!!!!!!!!!
Congrats to anyone who's instate and got accepted. I'm out of state and wish the tuition wasn't so high for us.
Its very exciting! Have you thought about which school you'll attend?
To those who got accepted, did you hear from Temple via email or snail mail?
Does anyone know if decisions were made for all interviews held up till Dec 17?
Got an acceptance email today. Yayyyy!

Thanks. Congrats to you too. I will be attending. Will you?
Interviewed on 12/10, and I left feeling pretty optimistic. I still haven't heard anything. Starting to doubt whether I'll get accepted.
I will decide after I hear back from Thomas Jefferson. I'm going to see if I can become an in-state student first. If I don't qualify for it, then I will choose Jefferson. 🙂
waitlisted. meh
