<p>How long should I expect to wait if I applied early action today? Is the January date they give actually reliable, because it seems kind of late. </p>
<p>if you have really good stats, the turn around seems very fast (about 2 to 3.5 weeks). i am not too sure otherwise. i would think teh january date is reliable and hopefully on the long end. temple now has a lot of EA apps to go through so it will take them some time to do so. My guess is they are saying January so you won’t be disappointed if it takes that long but they hope to get to it before then. if my guess is right, i’d say mid to late December is when you might hear but don’t panic if it goes out to January. </p>
<p>@ctl987, also, if you get accepted do they tell you about merit scholarship right away? </p>
<p>last year, it did not show up on tu portal but was included in the acceptance letter taht comes by snail mail. so my long answer to your question is yes. i am aware of one acceptance this year(through the portal) and they are still waiting for snail mail to see which scholarship they got. </p>
<p>Alright, thanks! </p>
<p>D checked her TU Portal 10 days after she applied to make sure they had everything and it said “accepted”. No snail mail or scholarship info yet, but she is in.</p>
<p>@OHMomof2, when did she apply? Was it a while ago, or close to the EA deadline P</p>
<p>Oct 19th, via common app.</p>
<p>@OHMomof2, okay thanks so much for the info</p>
<p>I finished my application on the 31st and got my decision on the 8th. I’m waiting for my packet in the mail now.</p>
<p>Congrats!!! </p>
<p>@ctl987 Thanks!</p>

Okay, this may be a stupid question, but how do you know if Temple has received everything. Should my portal account say</p>
<p>“1 thing you need to do:
Your application is complete! Come back to TUportal often to check your application status.” </p>
<p>It’s kind of confusing, because that’s not something I can do… </p>
<p>Just a little worried because I submitted on 10/26</p>
<p>james. saw ur note, will comment more later, probalbly in a pm. i think you have great stats, correct? if so, ur odds of getting in are great even if your app got slightly bogged down</p>
<p>S applied Oct. 11, and his tu portal says the same thing as jamesjunkers. I called admissions yesterday and was told to keep waiting. S is eligible for Presidential Scholarship, so not really worried about getting in as much as we just want to know for sure. This is hopefully a safety school for him. </p>
<p>@Marylandfour, yep - I am also eligible for the Presidential, and it is also just wanting to know for me. I really just wanted to confirm that I am seeing the correct thing. Waiting game it is :|. Maybe they do it by location :/, and my location happens to not be high on the list :’(</p>
<p>In your portal, there are tabs at the top, select the one that says “Apply for Admission”.
Then select whatever application is there, it should say 2015 Fall or something like that.
Scroll all the way down and it will say what they have received and when they received it.
If they’ve received everything, you just have to wait for them to review it.</p>
<p>Just rechecked, and the acceptance is there. Yay!</p>
<p>So, just to review the purpose of the thread.
I applied on either the 27th or 28th
I got a decision on the 12th </p>
<p>10/27 – 11/12</p>
<p>16 day wait period for decision</p>
<p>congats james! </p>
