Accepted this afternoon! Applied 10/15 and completed the SRAR a few days later. My S20 has a 3.4 gpa and 1240 SAT. We are so happy and relieved.
My daughter just found out tonight she’s in!
Temple’s Klein College of Media and communications
Hello all, I’ve recently checked the portal account and it says that my application is on hold and a decision will be made by April? Is this anything to worry about and is the decision going to be made that late even if I did early action?
@Yulio17 I would definitely call them tomorrow.
I called them today, but they were no help because all they said was it will be reviewed for a second time soon and then right after saying that they quickly hung up.
@Yulio17 I would guess it means you weren’t accepted as part of the early action round but instead of rejecting you, they’ll review your application again as part of the regular decision pile. So think of it as something better than being given a “No”, you were given a “maybe, we’ll let you know in the spring.” Definitely stinks to have to wait, but it’s better than getting a rejection.
Congratulations!! Would you mind telling me when you application was complete? Was it Temple Option or did you submit scores? Thanks!
@Yulio17 I think @voyagermom is right. The “hold” was mentioned throughout last year’s thread, and it seems to be equivalent to a deferral. Hang in there, looks like you may have to wait a while.

@KBTDPT Where do you find your financial aid package?
@lydiaxaga: the scholarship information was in the acceptance letter. I’m pretty sure need-based financial aid comes in at a later date.
@KBTDPT ohh I never got letter just a change in my status that says admitted. Will my acceptance letter come later in the week if I was accepted today?
@lydiaxaga , yes - it will take a few days for your letter and any merit aid to post.
@lydiaxaga D had portal update 11/17, email alerting her she was admitted this
morning then formal letters for Honors and scholarship this afternoon. Keep checking that portal!!!
