@jnkam24 My daughter’s TU Portal states to register for Experience Temple Day and her packet that came in mid November also had a flyer on the Honors College - you stated that if you got tis You are In. Are you sure ? How do you know for certain as I called the Honors Office and they said you should e notified in 3 to 4 weeks after you got accepted to Temple if you are accepted into Honors College and it was 4 weeks yesterday but still have not gotten notification from Honors College. For my daughter as well as many others, Temple is one of her Top Choices but only if she is accepted into the Honors College. Are you sure She is IN if she got the note about the Honors reception on TU Portal and got the Honors Flyer in her packet ? Hoping so as she was very disappointed she has not gotten notification from the Honors College and it has been 4 weeks since she was accepted. Thoughts ?
Has anyone gotten an acceptance from The Honors College yet ?
It would not say register for the honors reception on the portal if she was not in honors.
Can you guys tell me where on the portal you saw the honors reception? My D got link to register for Experience Temple Day but I do not see any Honors - not shocked but just curios where you guys see this- thanks
@pmcnyc Some kids are seeing it on their checklist on their portal page. My daughter only got the register for Experience Temple Day as well so I am assuming that she did not get into Honors although we do check it daily in case that changes.
@shelleyr25 thanks. Would seem that merit $$ is sent in a separate letter - this is from the website
“Specific details will be provided in the student’s scholarship notification letter from the Office of Undergraduate Admissions.” I am thinking that is not the acceptance letter and will be some time in Feb.
@pmcnyc Yes, from what I have heard, merit $ notification will be sent later although we check that daily as well LOL.
According to temple’s website they do not send out official letters on your acceptance in the mail : "Please be aware if you were offered admission to Temple, you will receive your letter of acceptance through TUportal in mid-December (we do not mail letters). "
https://admissions.temple.edu/apply/admitted
Does that mean that we will receive all financial aid and merit information through the portal as well?
@sciencegirl21 maybe… I check that link on the portal everyday just in case.
shellyr25 - I agree, it seems so late. Especially when rooming decisions need to be made soon. Hopefully they’ll come out before then!
Has anyone received an Official Acceptance into the Honors College yet ?
If so, was it via the Tu Portal or in the mail ?
@lorhop some posted that they received a packet in their admissions folder and others have said there was a link in their portal to sign up for an Honors welcome event yet no packet in folder. My guess is that if you have the invite on your portal, you are in.
Does anyone know when they are going to send out most of their acceptances? Still haven’t heard back and i applied in october…
nothing has popped up on the home page of my tu portal, but when i check application status it says “decision made” “university acceptance”… does this mean I’m accepted?
@nhenry123 have you checked your portal? It will appear there first.
@cgb016 Sounds like you’re accepted. Does it show a checklist to sign up for a Temple or Honors experience day and pay an admissions deposit?
Does anyone know how long it takes for temple to review your temple option essays? I know it takes 4 to 8 weeks to receive a decision but does the decision release at the same time as the notification of the essays are reviewed? Sorry if I’m not making any sense
@shelleyr25 Yeah I’ve been checking the portal daily and still nothing
My d had decent SAT scores (1250) AP classes, a 3.6 GPA and we still did Temple Option; I am not even sure why, to be honest. But, that being said, she applied October 15th, and heard by November 18th. Accepted.
@pmcnyc On the TU Portal, my daughter’s message states in the same message - register for Experience Temple Day and the Honors reception. She also got in er packet in the mail a flyer for The Honors Program.
@shelleyr25 Thanks Shelley - my daughter did get both the message to register for Experience Temple Day & the Honors reception on her TU Portal message as well as got a flyer on the Honors Program in her packet in the mail but no official honors acceptance yet.
