Anyone have any idea about time frame for second look?
 
Has anyone gotten a Pre-II rejection?

I am not sure why they have not invited me or rejected me? I need resolution.
Last time my file was "modified" was 3/1...uhmmmm

hold tight friend, alot of people might withdraw after traffic day which will free up some space for more interviews. (just make plans for a next cycle if it comes to that)

I'm not sure if anyone knows the answer to these questions but when is traffic day? And will temple give financial aid packages before this infamous traffic day?

Traffic day is April 30th and yes Temple does give out packages before then which is great!

I found out about 7 weeks after my interview. I also interviewed in December so idk how the holidays impacted when I heard back. I was notified via email at about 10pm. Idk if they always send the email late but that's when I got mine. Hope this helps :happy:

Dang, interviewed 2/1 and heard of nothing yet!!!
 
Anyone planning on going to second look? Can't wait to meet future classmates! :happy:
 
Ccl... the letter is a tease and a cruel joke congratulating me on their waitlist position. 5 waitlists now, 3 pending decisions this week. Life h8s me if I get more waitlists from these next 3. That will sting.

Interviewed 2/22 and I'm anxious to get some news. We were told that we'd receive some news within a month so I'm already starting to get anxious.

Good luck everyone!

Just an FYI. Temple was closed yesterday due to snow. Now I guess they have to reschedule all of the interviews that were supposed to be yesterday, and deal with match on friday. I'm guessing they're pretty busy and word probably won't go out this week for you all :(

It's pretty clear that they don't stick to their timeline. They told my group 4-6 weeks, and it will be 6 weeks tomorrow. I had another school say at the beginning of the cycle that their screening process is 2-3 months - I got an interview 7 months after secondary submission. It's pretty disrespectful to us to tell us a specific timeline and then completely disregard it, considering we spent so much time and money applying to their school in the first place. Can't wait till this process is over...

I agree with this (although I have not had that experience with Temple). I interviewed at one school where they said I would hear back within the month, and it has now been 3 months. The one time I called the office to check on the status of my application, they were rude and told me to just be patient. I don't have a problem with decisions taking 3 months, I just have a problem with telling me one thing and then actually doing another. It means an enormous amount of stress and mental strain for me, when they could just be honest about it in the first place. So frustrating.
