Temple c/o 2019 Applicants Forum

nope!

[HMinAZ]

Submitted my application on 11/19/15. Status checker shows complete on 12/17/15.

[Sera Numquam]

Has anyone who got admitted received their package in the mail yet?

No

The other day they said within a week to 10 days

My app went complete on 9/23/15 (I applied as soon as the application became available because Temple was my top choice). There has been absolutely no change since. I see that a lot of people has already heard back from Admissions. I emailed them a week ago and they basically told me the admissions process takes a while (But c'mon, it's been almost 4 months already). I wonder what this could possibly mean for me. Any idea or thought on this unprecedented wait in the history of decision rendering....?

Sorry, that's so frustrating! What are your stats vs their averages?

I'm a true splitter in all sense... have below 25th lsat and above 75th gpa for most schools I applied to. I had my recommenders write letters specifically for Temple, so I was hoping that they would take that into consideration.

I'm in a similar boat as you, just slightly opposite: 161/3.0 LSAC GPA. I'm hoping my WE tips the scales in my favor but you never know. Good luck!

I am similar - just below 25th GPA and well above 75th LSAT. App complete late Nov and heard back this week. Scholarship offer came later in the day. 9/23 is a long time, but if admissions told you to keep waiting I don't think it's anything to be concerned about.

I just had first movement on my app since December today to a new complete date so maybe you did too? Might want to check it out!

Haha,,, nope! It's still 9/23. I think they just forgot about me.

[marisacb1012]

Does anyone know anything about Temple offering travel vouchers? I got the full Beasley so I would really like to go visit the campus this spring. Thanks!

[Captainduff]

How many times were people's statuses changed? Mine still says complete but the date was updated to 1/26, first movement since 1/8. I really really dont want to wait another 5 weeks or whatever....I'm starting to hear back from other similar schools but Temple is my top because Philly > everything....sillly Temple just give me some answers!

I just checked this thread for the same reason... I went complete 1/7 and now is says I went complete 1/27. I do not think it will be another five week wait. I think its a good sign.

[tovictory]

First movement (1/27/16) since going complete on 9/23/15... still says complete.

[Captainduff]

In via status checker! complete 1/8, movement on 1/26, and admitted today. no word on $ yet but ill most likely wind up at Temple.

I am too!!! Really pumped to get in! Temple has always been at the top of my list. Congrats on your acceptance!!

[marisacb1012]

Still nothing in the mail! Accepted 11/20

[Captainduff]

Got the email. Beasley scholarship! Congrats to everyone else. Good luck to those still waiting. Hope to see ya in philly

[princeofmirkwood]

Email yesterday afternoon- received the Law Faculty scholarship. Is anyone definitely accepting their offer? I'm debating between here and Drexel. It's hard to justify $30k in loans and an extra year in school.

I wouldn't say definitely accepting, but it's gonna take my other schools im waiting to hear back from to convince me with scholarship offers to choose something else over Temple. I don't know what you're interested in, but it sound like you are looking to stay in Philly. I think most people would say Temple > Drexel, mainly because of the alumni base. Temple law dominates philly from what I hear. And if you're going to be graduating with just 30K in loans, that's a reasonably light load to manage compared to people who pay sticker and are left with $200,000 to pay back.

Even though I have not heard back from Temple and your withdrawal would probably help me, I think you would be making a mistake going to Drexel over Temple. There are a lot of people taking out 30k a year in loans... I would consider a temple law degree with just 30k total loans as a gift!

Team wait list as of today .__.

Time to draft an LOCI and cross my fingers this weekend's LSAT grants me leverage
