Those that recently got accepted…did you get a letter, or was it an e-mail and on your portal?
@Amser409 it’ll be on portal
Applied 12/8. Haven’t heard anything yet, and used the Temple Option. 3.36 GPA UW and OOS. I haven’t heard anything from Temple, and my portal says that my application is incomplete due to admissions not having reviewed my essays yet. I’ve only heard back from one other school, but TU is my #1 choice school and I am hoping to be accepted with a good scholarship of some sort. GPA wasn’t the best either, but great letters of recommendation and strong essay answers are in my favor.
Does anyone know when I should hear back from Temple, by? I’m seeing that people applied in October and STILL haven’t heard back and I’m starting to worry a bit. Any information is greatly appreciated!
@adam2k17 It will take longer because you did the Temple option. I applied 12/5 and got in two days ago. Just try to be patient, you will probably hear within the next month if I had to guess.
@huet99 Thanks so much. I figured the Temple Option would most likely take longer. Congrats on your acceptance! I am excited to hear back from them and check my portal daily for any changes, haha! Also nervous because I am slightly below average for TU but I just love this school so much. Thanks for the help!
How long did it take for the acceptance letter to appear on the portal after the decision?
I got accepted to Temple last week and I did not get any merit aid, why is that?
@Engineer876 did you already get the acceptance letter? financial aid decisions don’t come out until the spring I believe
@huet99 Mine took like 2-3 weeks, but everyone I know irl got theirs 2-3 days after.
@Engineerjw Did you get your official admissions letter on temple? It will be an actual letter that you will have to open not just “Congrats! You are accepted, etc” If you did and it has no mention of merit maybe your stats were too low as they definitely had to cut down on merit this year.
Yea I got the official acceptance letter.
It took 2-3 weeks for Temple to upload the official letter of acceptance onto the portal? @ally22
@huet99 my daughter’s letter took about 2 weeks or so to show up on her portal even though the portal said “Congratulations on your acceptance” Once the letter was there and could be downloaded it was there that it showed her merit aid. Nothing ever came in snail mail other than the acceptance packet which did not contain any personalized paperwork. Even now, weeks after she was accepted, nothing else has come in the mail from Temple.
@huet99 Yeah it was weird because everyone was getting theirs so quickly after their acceptance. I called admissions 2-3 weeks into waiting for it and they said it should be there within the next few days and then within an hour it was posted. Not sure if that was a coincidence
@shelleyr25 @ally22 thanks! any idea where on the portal it shows up? Will it be on the checklist or somewhere else?
@huet99 yes, right on the checklist
Anyone know if there are specific times when the portal is updated with admission status…or could it be anytime at all during the day? Currently checking the portal practically every hour! Lol!
@photowoman probably late morning to around 6pm. I found my decision out early afternoon.
Thank you @huet99 ! Waiting is the worst!
Just received an email from Temple saying to check the portal periodically for updates. Strange…it was a new email, not the original one when my daughter’s application was received, but a new one just saying that the portal provides information and to check it periodically.
Anyone have that happen?
Status hasn’t changed though!
My portal updated today and said that Temple has reviewed my essays and I am awaiting a decision. It said that during peak admission times, it might take up to 8 weeks. Would right now be considered peak admission times? I figured that would be around the November/December? I was amazed to see that my portal actually changed, haha! I’m so excited to hear back from admissions.
