brian is a really cool guy!....
anyhow...the acceptances deadline for the january acceptances is feb 25th...so probably a few days after that you will hear something back...
good luck!
When i talked to brian, he said its gonna go something like this. After the Feb. 25th deadline they will send some more acceptances. If you don't make that cut you will likely get waitlisted or worse.
Good luck to all of us who really want to go there.

This year they had 4,000 applicants, that's just crazy. They interviewed four hundred for one hundred seats. I did not even get an interview and I called Brian and he told me that it is very competitive. My guess is that their class is almost full or very close to being full. So if your stats are little lower than their average most likely you wouldn't get in.🙁
I just turned down a spot at Temple yesterday, so that will open up one spot - it was a tough choice cause Temple is a great school! Hope one of you all gets in.
hello...right here...ms. "sick-of-waiting-and-not-getting-any-feedback"...i think it is somewhat unfair. i understand they are extremely busy and blah blah blah but I also think that the least we deserve is something other than "you are still under review"...

If they have 400 interviews, they're likely to give out more than half of those as acceptances. I have higher stats than Temple, a good interview, and I have not heard from them in 3 months. I guess they're quite picky!

I was waitlisted at Temple last year, but I also interviewed after basically all the spots had been filled. If your scores are decent and you had a good interview, consider reapplying if you don't get in this year. They apparently have a high rate of acceptance for reapps, I guess persistence counts for something at Temple. My GPA was by no means spectacular, but my DAT scores were good and I felt my interview went well, even with me making fun of Brian for being a Flyers fan. Also, if you applied late like I did my first year (late Sept.), applying as early as possible is a big help at any school. Aside from seriously improving your DAT or GPA (which really isn't possible if you've graduated), applying very early is one of the biggest things you can do to improve your chances.
Best of luck, don't give up!

Hey everyone,
I talked to Brian today, and the 3rd round of acceptances are going out sometime this week. The only other possibility of getting accepted after this week is after being held on the waitlist. Brian expects some people to get pulled off of the waitlist, but it is not up to the school how soon that will happen. It is up to the students who have been offered acceptance, but haven't made their decision yet. Just thought I would share the information I received.

If you don't get in and re-apply, make sure it is early, and call them and let them know that you applied last year and would love to get it. They get over 4,000 applications, so unless your application is extremely spectacular, it is not realistic to actually think they even do more than glance at the last 2,500 applications. The moral of the story is APPLY EARLY! Good luck.

Dude, a lot of people that get into Temple will not attend, so 128 acceptances is nothing, there is a good shot at Temple till after May 1 I bet.
How are you guys finding out what the decision was on your application? Did you call? Receive snail mail? I know it wasnt email and my AADSAS is still totally blank.
How come so many recent temple decisions are waitlist? I hope we didn't interview for a waitlist spot
😕 Did anyone who interviewed in the last couple of interview days actually get accepted? I hope so I received more information from Brian today. 128 acceptances have been sent out, but if some of those people decide to decline the invitation to attend Temple, other people will be receiving acceptances. Also, a waitlist has not been made yet, but will be made in the future.
You probably did with 10 or less spots left. I applied twice, so keep on keeping on. Whatever that means.
Hey 1992Corolla
May I ask what were you credentials when you got rejected the 1st time and then what did you do to improve your application for the 2nd time around when you matriculated???
I didn't apply to temple the first time. I had like an 18 AA 19 TS 21 PAT, 3.4 GPA science and non science with extracurric
Nothing special, I gave B. Hahn around 20 bucks during my interview and a case of Corona. J/k
I had some luck on my side.

thanks nomahh!🙂
I just spoke with Brian on the phone. There isn't an actual waitlist yet but there are a number of people who, when they create it, will be on the waitlist. Not too much activity in the office right now because they are still waiting for people to drop out/send in their deposits before Temple makes any moves.
GET OFF THE CAN EVERYONE!!
any updates from temple waiting list?
probably because the 2nd deposit's due april 1st.
