Hi,
I am curious how long it takes to hear if you apply EA with Temple Option. My daughter has a decent GPA, 3.5 and scored a 1200/1600 on her SATs. I am thinking now applying T.O. may have been a mistake.
She’s speaks French and Spanish and is interested in International Affairs.
Has anyone that has applied Temple Option heard back?
Did we ruin her chances for admission or any money?
Thanks!
My daughter has similar stats and sent her SAT score (1210). She had considered Temple Option and hopes she made the right choice. She hasn’t heard back either. Temple states that EA applicants should hear by Jan. 10. I do think it takes somewhat longer to get a response with Temple Option, but hopefully not later than that date. Since these stats are around average for Temple, we’re certainly not expecting merit aid; just hoping for acceptance.
It seems like people with lower stats, although you don’t know the entire story based on just numbers- are getting in. So, I am thinking we made a big mistake -in terms of hearing early, receiving merit, etc by doing Temple Option.
I heard they don’t even review those until all the others applications are done.
@BettyQ I noticed your post on the other thread that your daughter was admitted last week. My daughter received her acceptance email yesterday (yes, on Thanksgiving Day!). Evidently it didn’t make any difference whether scores or Temple Option essays were submitted.
