*** The Official Temple University Dental Class of 2024 Interview/Acceptance Thread ***

People interviewing on 11/7 did you take your Casper test already? Because the next available date is 11/19, but scores take up to three weeks to send to schools. I have not taken the test yet so does that mean I'm rejected before I even interview?

I just took it yesterday to not delay any potential decision. You're definitely not rejected, but I am assuming the AdCom wouldn't make a final decision before receiving the CASPer score.

They explicitly state that you can take CASPer before or after the interview, so don't worry

Does anyone know if the school has a parking garage that can be accessed by interviewees?
 
Received my third "continuing review" email today. Has anyone actually received a rejection from Temple or do they just send out these emails until the class is full then send rejections?

I heard they send rejections at any time. If you are receiving these continuing review emails, it's a good sign. Just be patient 🙂

It was pretty relaxed! There is a short intro at the beginning, and then they split you up into different groups for the interview. You wait with the others in your group while each of you interview in a separate room. The interview is 15 mins long max with faculty or an alumni, and recorded (just ignore the camera, it is so the committee can rewatch the interview later). There was a super easy manual dexterity exercise built in - putting little pegs into holes (don't stress about this at all.) After the interview you have lunch/tours with current students, and then some more PowerPoints to end the day. We were finished around 2:30 when I was there!
 
Did anyone else receive a “friendly reminder” email from Temple about taking the casper exam even though they took it ages ago?

Yep, I emailed them back to confirm they had my results and they said it was just a reminder and sent to everyone!
 
Does anyone know the chance of getting in as an in-state interviewer( Interviewed September 19th), like statistics wise?

When I attended Temple's ASDA pre-dental day in March 2019 they told us that last year they interviewed 450 and accepted 380, which is well over their class size but I think a lot of students that get into Temple probably also get into their state schools and choose to go there
 
Does anyone have an idea of how many of the pre-Dec interviews get Dec acceptances?
 
hi guys! i interviewed at temple in september and never received a thank you for interviewing email afterwards, do you think this means anything? has anyone else who interviewed not received an email??

They don't send an email like that, only emailed me after interviewing for CASPer (even though I had taken it), and to let me know my thank you letters were added to my file

I asked the same question around 2 weeks ago on here. It's not a good or bad thing if they respond or don't respond. Some respond to you out of respect, some respond that perhaps you performed well in the interview, some respond perhaps to make you comfortable in the journey. You will never know that answer. I wouldn't take it into consideration just because it'll create problems that were never there. Best of luck.

The day I interviewed it was sent an hour after we had finished up I believe
 
Thank you and to you too!

oh interesting! nevermind then lol I guess they send to some and not others, not sure what it could mean
omg i hope it doesn’t mean anything hahah. my status still says invited to interview on the portal and temple emailed me the other day with a specific question and said my app was currently being reviewed so hopefully i still have a chance
 
Does anyone know if decisions will be sent out at midnight tonight like last year? Or sometime tomorrow?

Anyone know if those of us who took the CASPer in November have a chance of getting an acceptance tonight?
I saw a post on a facebook group saying their interview group was told you had to take CASPer by Nov 3 in order to be considered for Dec 2 acceptances! Just what I saw though

I believe they said if the CASPER exam was taken by the first week of November it would give them enough time for them to make a decision by Dec 2nd
