Wow. They must have decided to change their ways this year!
I am interviewing at Temple on the 31st. Hopefully they will like me! (It will be my second interview). It does seem strange that they would interview so many people to fill a wait list, but they are competing with schools in the general area.
anybody interview mid-December? Any news? I am afraid to call and hear bad news...
Anyone interview in late November and hear a decision?
so it site has been updated...looks like I will get a reply via snail mail....not good..

I saw it first on my status page and then I got an e-mail I have never received anything snail mail. I hope this helps and good luck... it Temple your first choice??
The word i've heard around school is that they got a whole lot of applicants this year (several thousand more than they usually recieve). But traditionally there are a lot of people who get in off of the waiting list, I was and I interviewed in April. Good luck to those of you still waiting to hear back.
oh, poopy, no wonder it's taking so long .. argh
have you called? I interviewed Oct 23 and got acpted. within 3 weeks good luck
I called 2 weeks ago to check my status post interview, I interviewed in late November, and they said 'no decision has been made.' Does anybody know if Temple defers making a final decision applicants and makes a decision later on in the cycle? From what I have read on SDN it seems like they have a very fast turn around time for both acceptances and waitlists.
So I checked my application status yesterday and now, instead of "under review", it says "correspondence mailed." Is this just a nice way of saying rejected?

Hahahaha. Mine still says 'Under Review'. AMCAS 2009 here we come...
Anyway does anyone know if its ranked or how it works?
I just had my Temple interview yesterday. I asked a lot of questions about this (because I was annoyed at the waitlist-only issue like you guys). She said that right now the class of 180 is full. I asked if they usually accept about 2x the class size and she said "oh, at least" implying that they will offer a fair number more than 360 acceptances. From here on out, they will only be making offers as people withdraw their acceptances. She explained that everyone gets a score (of sorts), and the score for getting an acceptance is higher now than it was in the fall. Someone asked whether people who are waitlisted now will be put in the same pool as people who were waitlisted in the fall, and she said that people who are waitlisted now (that would have been accepted in the fall had they interviewed earlier) will be pulled first. I hope that helps answer some questions. Everyone I talked to seemed to agree that there is a lot of waitlist movement.
You stated that the admissions representative said, "...the score for getting an acceptance is higher now than it was in the fall." Is that referring specifically to being offered an outright acceptance to the school right now at this very point in time? Or does it refer to the score needed to make the cut to be placed on a waitlist that could potentially lead to an acceptance?
Thank you very much for this information, it has certainly clarified a lot of questions.
Ah! Correspondence was mailed to my preferred mailing address! Hopefully it gets here soon, and c'mon waitlist! I interviewed on Jan 17, so that was a pretty fast decision. I hope it's a good thing!
When did your status page change? Good luck!!!![]()
I checked my status page yesterday, as someone posted that they got a waitlist in the mail, and it still said under review. I checked today after 5, and it said correspondence mailed! I hope they already mailed it so that I get it today or tomorrow...my interview wasn't the best, but it was just different from the others I've had so who knows? I'm kinda expecting a rejection, but if I get a waitlist I'll be pumped! Just to not be rejected post-interview twice in a row! I'll post up here when I get the letter and what the outcome was...wish me luck!![]()
