Did anyone who recently applied happen to notice how long it took for their ACT scores to arrive in the portal?
DD2 sent her scores on November 1st, but the test score is still MIA. We’re curious if that seems normal… or if she should call and ask about it. 
First off there has been a mass delay from ACT and SAT for certain scores dates taken and dates requested sent to
the colleges… your best bet it to contact the testing agency and see if it indeed has been sent by the agency… and get the date of when.
But also
This for us was the slightly different thing about the Temple portal. On several schools my older son applied to the portal had checklists so you could see what the school was waiting on i.e. transcripts test scores etc… My sons Temple portal did not. I don’t know if this was a fluke particular to him or for everyone.
For my son applying to Temple this year, the portal read your application is incomplete still waiting on materials or something like that so he couldn’t tell what they were waiting on… when he clicked further it would take him to the temple application (he applied through the common app)… he didn’t know whether to fill out the Temple app too or not so he called admissions they told him not too. They told him it was a computer problem. Call computer services.
Someone from computer services called him and said they looked into it the portal was fine and the school was waiting for his community college transcripts. My son had taken a course during the summer at a cc for fun. In the common app it asks if you have taken any college courses and he put it in., but no where did it ask for transcripts so we didn’t know to send them. Son quickly sent them and the portal read application complete waiting on decision… then it was about 4 weeks until he got a decision.
So -I still don’t know if the temple portal reads specifics for everyone or ours was just a fluke… sorry… but if ACT says they were sent and the portal reads they are missing (can you see that specifically?) after a few days I would call admissions to be safe!
My daughter’s took a good week or two to show up. She emailed admissions through the portal to check on them and they assured her that they had been received. Her application status was updated a couple of days after that. I think it’s just a busy time so it takes a bit to show up in the system. Email or call if you want to be sure though! They were very nice. Her application has been complete for about a week now. Just waiting on a decision!
@taylor9875 I’m curious on your daughters portal, were you able to see each component they had received and which ones they hadn’t? We were never able to.
I could not see each item individually on my portal either.
On DD2s portal, if you click on the Next Steps (where it says there are missing items from the application), another window opens. Then she clicks on “Check Your Application Status,” scrolls to the bottom where it says “Requirements.” There is the list we see where the ACT score is still missing (the other required items listed are the application fee and the hs transcript, which have dates entered when those items were received).
Yes, we were able to access them using the steps in the post above.
ok thanks- just curious. When we clicked “next steps” another window opened that was the actual Temple Application and we couldn’t get beyond that screen … I guess it was bc my son had started a Temple app before deciding to submit through the common app… ? .
Just read Temple applications are up 12% from this time last year!! Go owls!
Go owls indeed!!!
Ah - that’s probably the difference. DD2 didn’t start the actual Temple App - just used the Common App from the get-go.
in the past, there were some issues with common app. i don;t know if they’ve been worked out or not
We called them today and they took the information off of her transcript and marked her application as complete. I have no idea where the scores from ACT are, though!
