Temple Admissions Class of 2021

@maisha123 Your admissions letter will show up on the portal in a couple of days. So will any financial aid and other stuff. Everything will show up! Just keep checking.
Congratulations!!

A large amount of people have been getting put on hold for some reason. Some have still been getting accepted, so don’t worry if you got put on hold! I’d say the best idea is to call the school.

my daughter got accepted to Parsons school of design today! That is her #2 school. Still waiting on Temple/Tyler.

My daughter got her acceptance yesterday after being on Hold since Feb 15th. super excited. deposit already paid! good luck everyone.

Congrats @Mommy2D Good idea getting that deposit in asap. Housing goes quickly at Temple!

My son’s portal was updated on Friday saying that he was accepted and it said that a package would follow in the mail, it said to register for accepted student’s day and honors reception? Does that mean that he was accepted into the honors program? I am not able to access his financial aid award on the portal yet. It says to keep checking back. I am a little confused as there was no offical letter to view that I can see. Just the video and then the next steps to register for accepted students and honors reception.

Does anyone know when accepted music students will hear about money from the music department?

I called this morning and was told that Talent Based Scholarships at Boyer will be going out in the next two weeks.

@ahill70 - yes, he is accepted to the honors program if he was invited to the honors reception. Congratulations!

@PhilaSkiMom Thank you! I just logged on to the portal and was finally able to view his admissions letter and the letter stating that he is admitted to the honors program. However, there is nothing regarding scholarship $$ and the financial aid award page says to check back later. Is that normal?

@toomanyflats, do you have any idea what they give in terms of money - what the range is? I have no idea what to expect in terms of money.

I have no idea what the ranges are. When my D was interviewing, we were told that the talent scholarships from Boyer were from a separate funding stream than the merit scholarships so were not impacted by the massive cutbacks that Temple experienced this year.

Is there a GroupMe for Temple?

i’d also like to know if there is a groupme that i could be added to

my application status changed from on hold to accepted yesterday, 3.0GPA, 1800 on the old SAT

Son transitioned from Hold to Wait List. (3.5, 1130). Congrats to those accepted, good luck to those who accept a slot on the Wait List and good luck as well to those that decide to enroll elsewhere. It’ll be a fun ride wherever you go!

My son was just offered admission from the wait list! So a short wait…a bit under a week. Looks like I’ll be a NJ parent with one son at Penn State and another at Temple. I should move to PA to get in-state tuition!

I got accepted today off of the wait list! Not sure if I’ll be receiving any financial aid but am excited to have gotten into my dream school!

my son was accepted weeks ago, and he has committed to Temple, he has his dorm, and al that stuff. However as for loans. I’m so stressed. I’m disabled. Credit as suffered severely due to that. I can’t cosign for him. I tried telling him all of this but it’s the school he wanted and as most teenagers, they think they know it all. Anyhow. That’s for me and him to figure out.
One of his very good friends who has a higher GPA then him, better class ranking, and better grades (his are good. But theirs are better) except they scored a bit less on their SAT’s and not by much at all. Still hasn’t heard from Temple, they called a couple times and got a very rude person on the phone! I know for a fact that dorms are now going into overbooking. Several of my friends kids have been accepted and many of them have grades, GPA’s, and SAT’s much lower then others who have been accepted.
I’m trying to help this kid bc they have nobody else to really help them. Although I’ve recommended they call on their own, just as I did with my son, but I couldn’t believe how rude this person was on the phone today with them. If this person is rejected. Just tell them! Which would make no sense seeing they got into schools that my son was actually rejected from! And more selective then Temple!
We are all confused. And the woman on the phone didn’t help.
The person still waiting on Temple really wants to attend there, and that’s the main university they’ve been waiting on.
I’ve heard Temple is big on silent rejections… but it still wouldn’t make sense for this person to be rejected! Their GPA is UW is a 3.89 plenty of honors and AP classes. I’m not 100% sure on their SAT but I believe they too the New SAT and received like maybe a 1210. (Somewhere around there) I feel bad bc decisions need to be made very very soon! And she can’t get any answers. She is fully qualified to be accepted into Temple I just don’t get why people we know with GPA’s around 2.8 and SAT’s with 1050 have gotten in!! (Those are not my sons grades! Lol!)
Can anyone tell me if Temple is still sending out acceptances as late as now (4/12/17)?
And if there’s anything I can relay to her that she should do, so she can find out ASAP, aside from calling admissions and speaking with the most rude woman ever!!! Lol! Her app has been on hold for MONTHS! She applied in late November!
I did hear Temple is big on silent rejections.
For example she got into PSU main, whereas many others got into other campuses to do PSU’s 2&2 program.
Again. I just want to help her out bc she has nobody to help her really. The counselors at the school aren’t really up to par and definitely don’t do the job they should be.
Any and all advice would be appreciated.
Thank you! And congratulations to all of the Owls class of 2021!

The aid isn’t much at all anyway. Barely makes a dent whatsoever!! But congrats on being an Owl!!!
Next Stop! Temple!
If you have a hard time finding housing. Message me. I know a few of my sons friends (both guys and girls) who have some empty spots left in their 4 person suites. As the housing began overbooking about a week ago and if the information I received is correct, students committing later, are stuck with no choice but to room in The Edge… I’ve heard mixed reviews on the edge but wouldn’t be able to speak on it personally. I do know it’s more secluded, and sort of off campus… again I can’t say that what I know is correct though.
Congratulations again!!

You’re not alone! So am I lol!!! Tuition is gonna kill me but hey. Rather go into debt for my kids education then anything else. I was born and raised in Philly. Moved to Jersey approx 18 years ago and my kids weren’t interested in the in state schools! They’re Philadelphians thru and thru! Lol! Congratulations to yours on being a Nittany Lion and now an OWL!
