Temple University Admissions

Temple has an Early Action and Rolling Admission option. Most of my schools that offer rolling admission get back faster than schools with Early Action. So, I thought applying for rolling would result in me hearing back sooner. I applied October 4 and I have not heard back, and I called them and they told me that rolling actually doesn’t get looked at until january 10 or 8 weeks before or after. Due to their vague descriptions and the fact that they have both an Early Action and rolling, now I will not know until February if I got in. I was considering this school seriously and I am now very annoyed.

Yes, they begin the Rolling applicants after all the EA.

Yeah my EA took a really short time. Applied 11/1, got a decision back 12/7. EA is the way to go.

Yup, my D feels the same. She applied in mid September and is annoyed enough about still not hearing that she’s mentally taken them off her list. They really should not call it rolling admission because they’re not looking at apps as they come in at all. People applied EA 5-6 weeks after her with lower stats and have acceptances and merit aid already. She figures most of the merit money will be gone before they even start looking at rolling apps.
