Anyone applying to temple health scholars? I heard its not guaranteed but im not so sure.
@jsingh1997 That is good news. Did you get invited to apply to their Honors college? did you send in the Honors application? also, did you get admitted to Honors college? I remember from last yearsâ theads, no news about bs/md means you are still in the running with Drexel for their program.
@adamrocks . I am sorry. I am sure good news will roll along. mine still says under review. I dont see any updates tab either.
Drexel, when clicked âStatus updateâ or âView updateâ it takes to another page and says âcongrats on your acceptanceâ but it does not have any reference to BS/MD status. Finance page says awarded $25k. But surprised to know it costs $71.5k for Drexel.
@goaltobemd Is it needed to be in honors college for BS/MD in Drexel? My D missed the deadline 11/10 to apply for Honors college.
@GoldenRock When, we clicked Status Update it shows congrats on acceptance but like you said no reference to the BS/MD application
@adamrocks can you paste the verbiage about not acceptance to BA/MD program or because there is no mention you are assuming it is a reject?
it is a reject
it explicity states that âat this time, we are not able to offer you admission into the BS/BA/MD program.â
âWhile your credentials are impressive, we are unable to offer you admission to the BA/BS/MD accelerated program at this time.â
@adamrocks sorry to hear, i am sure something else will come along. Wondering if it is worth paying $70k for Drexel?
how much money did they offer? hope that amount is some consolation for you
@GoldenRock Congratulations. Looks like your D is also still in the running. If she becomes a NMF she will get a full ride for undergrad. So if she is a semi finalist now she has a good chance to get that scholarship.
My deadline to apply for Honors college is Jan 15 so I m not sure why your D had a deadline of Nov 15. Maybe my application is far behind! Also, my status has not changed. Still says under review.
@GoldenRock Also, I think it is optional to apply to the Honors college. You got the admission without it so it seems more certain that Honors college is optional.
@goaltobemd Reason for different deadlines for Honors college is which option was chosen for UG App. If EA then 11/10 and if RD 1/20. Probably all decisions are for EA and that may be reason, why your status shows it is still under review. So you will know when they announce RD. So far I did not see it is needed to be in Honors for BS/MD.
@GoldenRock @goaltobemd Drexel portal is not showing me any button for update. It still says ba md application is under review. I donât believe we ever got honors supplement to fill. What should we make of it? Application submitted by us 10/12. However all recs and other things made it in by 11/01.
@therearemany Temple and SLU are Little Different Then Many Other Guaranteed program. For temple you need 30 mcat. 3.5 gpa. No grade less than or equal to C etc⊠So far so good. Now what is different is, if you pass all of above in other programs you get guaranteed admission in med school. In SLU and temple, you get guaranteed interview in med school. You still need to clear med school interview. In no sense are any programs are guaranteed. Each has conditions to get in med like gpa mcat etc⊠so everything is provisional only. Temple and SLU has 1 more condition- interview.
drew interview today at 2pm ET jdslakf
@aichoux Good Luck!
@Sam999 When did your son apply to Penn State?
@skinsfan123 My Dâs application for Penn State is saying it is under review, wonder if there is a way to find out if they are still considering it for BS/MD or just regular? We did have an issue with them getting the recommendation letter from the school but it got resolved and now the application is complete.
@dudefromnowhere See my post on in page 24. I called Penn State on 12/14 and they informed they review and notify for interview from now until Feb end. So we are all good and need to wait longer to know the status one way or other until they notify.
