Temple University test-optional problem

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application
1

<p>So I'm applying to Temple through Common App and I chose to go test-optional. On the Temple admissions website however, it states the following:</p>

<p>"You now have the option of submitting your standardized test scores (SAT or ACT) or choosing the Temple Option (not sending your test scores) and answering several self-reflective, short-essay questions. Your responses provide important details in our comprehensive admissions review process and will be considered carefully by our committee. "</p>

<p>Since I chose test-optional on common app, wouldn't I be able to get these short-essay questions? Or can I only answer them using the standard Temple Application? Because they're not showing up on common app.</p>

<p>I'd like someone who'd already applied through Temple using Common App, and took the test optional route to apply. Thanks.</p>

<p>Hi, applied via CA and test optional and did receive the short-essay questions. Also, received emails with my TUPortal login. I would call Admissions directly.</p>

<p>I actually got it sorted out, the e-mail was sent to me last week and I finished it (the questions) on the day it was sent. So the application is 100% completed, now it’s just the waiting game.</p>

<p>What’s convenient is that it they let me use the TUPortal account I made prior to submitting the application on CA.</p>
