application on "hold"

Colleges and Universities A-Z Temple University

<p>I sent my application into Temple on Feb 16, my test scores and transcripts by March 1.. then on March 9, my application was "put on hold." Currently, my OWLnet says "We have reviewed your application and are placing it on hold for a later decision. We cannot tell you now your chances for admission as we must first assess the size and profile of our applicant pool. Please check OWLnet periodically for an update on your application status." :/</p>

<p>Is it likely for me to get in?</p>

<p>Thanks!! :)</p>

<p>dude,you should have applied along time ago! i got in with worse stats. i had a 3.0 and 1500/2400 sat. why did you not apply sooner?</p>

<p>I don’t think it was when you applied that mattered…unless a particular school or major is filling up. My D applied on Feb. 22, they received all her scores & transcripts on March 1 and admitted her on March 8th. What is your intended major?</p>

<p>I applied late because I am lazy. :(</p>

<p>My intended major is psychology…which I’m sure filled up quite quickly. :(</p>

<p><em>hugs</em> it’s okay.i think you will be admitted after april(2nd week) because many of the students that applied to temple(as a safety school) and were accepted will send their decline of acceptance.just be patient and send emails to the admissions staff that state why you to be an owl.</p>

<p>My application was put on hold too! I’m not sure if it was for the school in general AND the music ed program, but my GPA was borderline of being too low for music ed. I’m not sure about people outside of the music program, but I know there’s a meeting on April 7th concerning people in my situation. Hope this helped, and good luck!</p>

<p>I got in a last week!</p>

<p>It says on my TUportal that I was accepted the same day my application was put on hold…so you might have already gotten in! Also, when I called Temple, a woman in the admissions office said that April 1st is when you will get your notification if you are on hold.</p>

<p>Does anyone know if Temple sends in a packet with information and such on being accepted? I haven’t gotten one yet.</p>

<p>yay!!!1 you’ll get your packet by end of this week or the beginning of next week. when i got accepted i got mine like 3-5 days later.
omg,i’m soooo happy for you! <333</p>

<p>I can’t tell if that was sarcastic or not, lol, but still, thanks. :slight_smile:
I decided not to attend Temple, though.</p>

<p>Where are you going?</p>

11

<p>I will be going to George Mason University in Fairfax, VA.</p>

12

<p>Oh cool. My best friend at Temple wanted to transfer there, but wasn’t allowed to, so he transferred to GW.</p>

13

<p>GW is a superb school.</p>

<p>I thought I was going to really like Temple, but I guess I’m just not cut for Philly. :frowning: So I am staying in a nice suburban area. :P</p>

<p>Haha it happens. Fairfax is a really nice area.</p>
