1) Has anyone else on here gotten the second interview for Temple's MedScholars program?
2) How many people are (on average) cut from the program after the second interview
3) If someone is in the program this year, how is it as a whole, and would you recommend it?
Thanks,
Evilbooyaa

its the second interview in the process, and the final one....the first was with duq ppl, this one is with temple ppl.
do you think they are all that diff? i know temple has like 4 progs. temple/temple, duq/temple, w&j/temple and i think one other one.
I knew duquesne and temple had a program together, but I couldn't stand going to duquesne for 4 years Undergrad.
jenc, you going to the honors day thing for temple on the 18th by any chance?
btw my first interview was really chill, but then again it wasnt with temple, it was with duq.
highflyer - there is an MCAT requirement of some kind, i'm thinking 8-9 in each section, but it doesn't influence whether you get into the program or not.
I sometimes believe that they just sit there with a dart board with our names on darts, and throw them at the board.
the people with higher SAT scores have a couple darts, closest to the bulls-eye get in.
I'd imagine its the same with these programs, seeing as how for pitt, there are over 100 interviews, and 10 acceptances.
idk, as long as I get into one of them, I'll be happy.
temple requires at least a 30 on the MCAT, along with maintaining a 3.5 UG GPA. the 30 on the mcat IS required for admission into the medical school.
Just thought I'd clear that up
like 6 or 7 of us at the end (all Indians, save like one guy from Widener college) sat down and just discussed random ass things. It was pretty nice.
it was weird cause 2 of the kids were there for temple's early assurance, where you apply after 2nd year of college before MCATs for a "guaranteed" admission into the temple medical school.
idk, I hope I get in though, cause temple UG and med school look and sound quite appealing.
