Yay, @adam2k17 !!! Congrats to you!
For those that got merit, is it in the official acceptance letter?
Yes, in the acceptance letter and also shown on current financial aid award letter, both on the tuportal.
@photowoman some people received their merit award with their original acceptance, but for some it came as a separate letter. See: http://talk.qa.collegeconfidential.com/discussion/comment/20309627/#Comment_20309627
I’ve got a few questions on the portal, if anyone could help me. Thank you to everyone for the congratulations!
On the side of the portal where the “Student Financial Services” box is, I have a few that I supposedly need to do. The first is “Federal Financial Aid Terms & Conditions: Undergraduates”, “Grant permission to pay any and all University charges”, “Grant permission to pay previous balance up to $200, if owed”, and “Selected for Federal Verification”. At the moment, it says I am not eligible to complete the requirement at the time and I need to check back later. I guess my question is, what does all of this mean?
Second question… what’s the housing situation? I’ve heard from the 2021 group on Facebook that there are still some rooms left in 1300, J&H, and White Hall. Was hoping to room in Morgan, but it definitely seems like Morgan is full (there are a lot of people looking for roommates though). Does anyone have any information about the number of rooms left? And what would happen if there were no rooms left? I’m trying to get all this information on my own but am getting confused.
Thanks to anyone who can help me out! And congrats to everyone who’s gotten in!
@adam2k17 did you pay your housing deposit yet? Once you do you will be able to go on and see exactly what’s available. Availability changes all the time because people who have selected change their minds and go to a different school, go into an LLC, switch to different housing, etc.so you won’t know what’s available until you go on. Housing DOES run out though so you need to get it done soon to secure a spot. The financial aid stuff will probably load soon do check back like it says but at looks like you’re selected for verification so they will be asking for proof of some financial things. The other stuff you just acknowledge once it’s available.
@adam2k17 what’s the FB group? I’m being lazy. I know it was posted on here, but can’t find it!
@jnkam24 I will just wait it out for a few days and
@photowoman It’s right here, I believe this is the right one! https://www.facebook.com/groups/templeuniversity2021/
I called this morning and kindly asked what the status of my application was and if they had received everything. The person on the phone said my application was complete and that it was just a matter of time. Later on (a couple hours later) I got an email from Temple admissions saying my application was put on hold. I’m really upset temple is my first choice.
@villalobosbn I’m so sorry to hear that…what was your SAT/GPA if you don’t mind me asking?
@phiraeth I applied with the temple option, my GPA 3.3, I took a lot of AP & Honors courses and was very involved in school clubs and activities.
@villalobosbn Ahh, alright. Don’t lose hope though, you never know what will happen!
@phiraeth Thanks! I feel like I have very low chances of getting in.
@villalobosbn Don’t lose hope! I had the same stats as you, and took a lot of dual enrollment courses and used the Temple Option and got accepted! I’m wishing you the best on your application!
My application got put on hold today. They sent me an email telling me to feel free to send in additional academic information to help with the process but I honestly feel like I’m not going to get accepted. Temple is my dream school and I’m devastated 
My application was put on hold back in December still waiting to hear back from them, hopefully I’ll get accepted Temple is my top choice, I also sent in my mid-year grades(which were my best of any year in high school) and another letter of recommendation from someone outside of my school. Wishing everyone good luck with their application decision!
My daughter is waiting to hear from Temple. She applied to Tyler for Graphic Design back in late December. She passed her portfolio review in person the first try. She was super excited. Now months later her application is still on Hold pending second review. She called yesterday and they told her she passed the first hurdle which was Tyler, she passed the second review which looked at her “overall as a fit for the school” (whatever that means) and that she is now half way through the last review which is her academics and she will receive an answer ON APRIL 3rd. seriously!! It is her first choice school. she has heard for all except Temple and her #2 choice. the waiting is a killer. I hope after all these hurdles she gets in…
I was recently put on hold by temple is that bad ?
My daughter is accepted at Temple as a biology major. (3rd generation legacy; my parents, husband and I are all proud alums!) She’s waiting to hear from one more school until she officially commits.
GPA: Around 3.4-3.5
SATs (new): 1170
1 AP and 2 honors courses
Youth group, volunteer and community service activities
Good luck to everyone from this former owl!
Hey! I’ve just been accepted to TU, however, the admissions letter was not posted on the TUportal and I was wondering if they will mail a folder/letter to our homes?
