Same.

complete:10/31 and another date change on 11/24

Temple will be a serious consideration of mine if they throw good $$. I'd like to stay local in Philly but who knows.

Got the email. No scholly info, blergh.

Does anyone know when most Temple decisions are released?

Checking in! App has been done for a while but I've been holding off until I get my retake back. I'm in at two Top 20 schools but I'm hoping I could get a full ride from Temple and return to the Philadelphia area when I'm done with TFA-or get a few more dollars negotiating from those top 20's. GL everybody

It looks like the first wave of acceptances went out yesterday.

I've got my fingers crossed for a second wave today. Otherwise, past data suggests we will have to wait until around mid January.

Also accepted yesterday via email and status checker.

Anyone got their acceptance package yet? I was told the packet will be mailed shortly after the new year. Dying to find out about the scholarship money so I can make my next move for financial aid.

Really hope I get a response back before the end of this month before I have to go back to undergrad - otherwise I won't be able to visit.

Also, because I'm curious: did anyone apply to Villanova? Why or why not?

Villanova typically hands out more $$ than Temple + is comparably ranked for Philly-area schools, so applying and getting the $ can give you good leverage for negotiating with Temple when the time comes. Also Nova waves the fee for everyone so it's only $28.

Go visit anyway! Yes I applied to Villanova for a number of reasons. I have family members who graduated recently and are working at really well respected firms in Philly. It is as good of a school as Temple and the differences seem to be very minor. They have also been more generous with money recently, which is a plus. If I decide to stay local and get extremely solid offers from both of these schools, it will be hard to pick which one I want to go to.

Submitted and completed application 10-31-14. Noted completed on 11-24-14. No change since then. Did say "Under Review" at one point, but just says "Completed" now. Checked with Admissons Office and they said it's still being reviewed. Really hoping to get an answer soon, I'm extremely nervous. Anyone else in the same position? Care to share stats? Anything else?

My package came yesterday, got $15,000 every year from Conwell Schloarship. I'm in state.

My dates are the same as yours. My checker never said "Under Review". It has said "Complete" the whole time with the one date change on 11.24.14. Temple is my top choice but my numbers are just below median so I'm rather anxious as well. I'm banking on 2014-15 being a forgiving cycle. So far, I've gone 7/12 this cycle with no rejections/waitlists but I have not heard from my top two (Temple & Villanova). I'm confident we'll have a decision by the end of next week based on past LSN data; definitely (maybe) by the end of the month.

I'm happy to share stats via PM.

Admitted with Full tuition scholarship. Can message me if you're interesting in numbers.
