@jessmint10 I live about an hour away
Just accepted last night to Temple for Social Work! Super excited and awaiting the big envelope!
So, my son was accepted to Wharton at U Penn Fri and is going to withdraw his Presidential scholarship to Temple… while I am excited for him, it is with a heavy heart that he won’t be going to Temple. I (and he) really came to love so many things about Temple! I see nothing but great things in the future for Temple and for all of the future owls… best of luck to you all… I know you will soar! GO Owls!!
WOW @runswimyoga !! Congrats!
I live in Colorado, and I just received my admission packet in the last couple days. On the papers it said November 20th, but it was postmarked as December 7th, so it does take a while to come in. I have a 3.9 GPA and a 33 ACT Composite score, as well as a good deal of ECs. I received the Presidential Scholarship and was accepted with a Biology major into the honors college. The admissions packet had a ton of great information specific to college, honors, scholarships, etc. It definitely made me very excited and Temple is now my top choice of the colleges I’ve been accepted to (although I’m still waiting to hear back from quite a few)
Accepted from Las Vegas, received my acceptance package in the mail yesterday 12/12. 3.9 uw 32 act, got the Presidential Scholarship. Excited to see what the campus and Philly has to offer, hopefully I’ll be able to come visit soon!
I wonder if anyone’s scholarship ever gets increased after some students who get the big ones end up elsewhere?
mstomper, noone has posted on board about that happening.
and runswimyoga, Great on Wharton!! Few people get that oppurntunity!
Got my presidential scholarship today, pretty excited 
I received the big envelope of acceptance today!
I got into the nursing program with the presidential scholarship 
@elvesnshoemakers when did you get an email notification?
@jessmint10 I got it on Dec 8
Waiting on acceptance here. Just missed the EA deadline. Curious, and yes, a little neurotic, does the portal update overnight or in real time throughout the day? It would be nice to hear before Christmas, but we did submit during the busiest time.
S applied 10/27, still awaiting decision. What are the chances of getting in and hearing before Christmas for Computer Sci? SAT-CR+Math=1190, GPA=3.7,XC,track,volunteer asst basketball coach for elementary school, chess. Has anyone heard of anyone being rejected so far? Very nerve wracking especially since of all of the acceptances so far!
My son sent in an appeal letter for a higher scholarship on October 23rd. It was based on SAT scores - he took them in October and raised his scores. He received a letter from Temple today confirming the higher scholarship. So, we are putting down his deposit this weekend!
@mstomper I believe the scholarships criteria is driven by gpa/test scores only. At the bottom of this link it states that there is an appeal process (in writing) if newer test scores are better and it would qualify a student for a higher award (as long as GPA is in the higher range as well). That is how @BlueHen89 S was able to qualify for and get the higher scholarship. It appears that these are automatic and my best guess is that they “would not get increased after some students who get the big ones end up elsewhere”. Temple scholarship qualifications link:

I applied to the Boyer School of Music via video submission of the music repertoire. I submitted everything by Nov 4. My portal does not say anything about any decisions yet. My stats SAT 1460/2270 and ACT 33 composite. top 10%. 3.7/4.2 uw/w gpa. Is the University decision separate from the music school decision?
Our S is out of luck, since it was his gpa that kept him from getting one of the 2 top scholarships. His GPA was well within the range for presidential, but his ap and honors classes weren’t enough to overcome the D’s.
Just received the letter in the mail! Provost scholarship and honors invitation. Ran around the block screaming hahaha
sorry mstomper
