Three weeks after acceptance on portal and STILL no acceptance packet (w scholarship) in mail yet… son starting to really look at other schools now- thinking something is wrong… This is disappointing…
I haven’t received anything in the mail yet, accepted on the portal 11/9.
It’s looking more and more to me like they’re dealing with more apps than usual. I told S that he may well hear from Ole Miss first.
Accepted 10/22 still no letter.
If it doesn’t come within a week then I’m going to assume that it was just lost or something.
DS accepted by portal on 11/3 and still no letter- thinking maybe they were closed last week for Thanksgiving and hopefully will arrive this week.
Can I be considered for scholarships if i apply by the rolling admission deadline or the scholarships just for EA?
are you supposed to get a confirmation congratulatory email from temple?
@Shindly I can’t find anything specific online, but the .pdf about the academic scholarships does say you have until January 15th to appeal for a higher scholarship, which implies EA only since the EA decision deadline is January 10th. http://admissions.temple.edu/sites/admissions/files/uploads/15_16_ADM_Scholarship_APP_Final2.pdf
@hellobroos2 I’ve been following the Temple threads pretty closely, and I think all you get is confirmation of admission on the TU Portal. For all the details, including scholarships, we have to wait for the snail mail!
@palm715 Thank you . I’ve been searching many sites for that info but cant find anywhere… I think i may get higher scholarship( according to the pdf i get the Dean’s one now ) so Im going to retake the SAT this Jan so the result will come out in Feb…dont know if I will miss the deadline…
Its crazy that these acceptance letters are taking so long to be sent! Thanks all for letting me know its not just my son waiting…(that makes me feel better?)
Hopefully we will all receive the letters before the Jan 15th date to appeal -as how do you appeal when you haven’t been notified of what scholarship you qualify for?!
I have heard of some that applied to Temple receiving their acceptance packages but no one who qualified for a scholarship…
@hellobroos2 son didn’t get an email, just saw it by checking TU portal
I’ve been applied since September! Is Temple slow at letting people know when they are accepted? I’m very frustrated.
@juliannebeg Are you able to see on your TU portal if you are accepted or does it still say waiting for a decision from admissions? Does it say all items are received, i.e. could something be missing?
Most here have been accepted on the TU portal, but are just waiting for the offical letter w/ any merit scholarship package from Temple. It took about 4-6 weeks from application to see a decision on the TU portal. I did read 1 person received a hold -which I think means they have to wait until April to see a decision, but if you applied in Sept you should have seen a decision of some sort on the portal…
If you applied early action they have to let you know by Jan 10th.
The local Philadelphia news did a story on Temple U admissions today. Apparently the number of applications increased 12.5% from last year and 54% from 2013. This may be part of the reason for the delay in the letters and scholarship info- they are overwhelmed with applicants and want to make good decisions about acceptances.
Temple received all of my information on November 4th and I was accepted on November 24th! Waiting for my packet to come in the mail. Since I live in Alabama, I assume it will be a few weeks. I am also visiting Temple for the first time later this month. :^)
Congrats @ElectroCat plan on waiting over 4 weeks for the envelope, some on here are still waiting since the end of Oct. I am waiting since 11/9. Enjoy your visit to Philly. Should be nice and cold for you here by then! 
Today I just got a foldable postcard that says “Congratulations on being accepted to Temple University” as well as some other stuff. No mention about anything I didn’t know like scholarships, honors, or anything.
It seems like this is something I was meant to receive after I got my acceptance letter. As of today, I’ve been waiting for 6 weeks since my acceptance. Could my letter have been lost or something?
My son has been waiting 4 weeks- there are at least 4 honor students with “lost” acceptance packets … my son hasn’t even received that postcard… 
About an hour ago someone from Temple called him on his cell phone asking how likely he is to go to Temple… he told him he really needs to see the acceptance packet, full scholarship and Honors/Fox Honors before making any decision and putting any deposits. The person told him to contact Financial Aid office as they have everyones scholarship info??
DS also got the fold out post card in the mail today and we got a family info card as well. Like everyone else still waiting for “the” letter. Want to see that scholarship offer in writing. It has been a month since he saw it on the portal. Hoping that it is just slow due to the increase in applications this year. Maybe card is a sign that bigger letters are on the way? (here is hoping!)
We are in same boat here. My son was invited to honors reception per the portal but we haven’t received anything.
S has his acceptance but nothing about invite to honors reception. Since he would need his gpa to be weighted I’m not too hopeful. His other choice has big guaranteed money for NMSF, though.
