Hey Ya'll,

I was wondering who all has applied?

I applied (and am also a fellow potential Austin reject; please love me, Austin as I love your program!). I know less about Temple than I do about Austin, but the graduates I've met were talented, smart, decent people.

As for your user name, the answer is neither, because the answer is Rodenstock. Best Lenses I've ever used.

Ah. Everyone I know from Temple has been awesome. I've had some alumni as teachers and they were fantastic.

As for my name...I am a photographer and had this huge internal debate when I decided to switch from Canon to Nikon this year. Got a Nikon D7000! The video on those suckers is awesome!

Don't lose faith! Worst case scenario you apply again next year. This is my second year applying and if I have to apply two more years to get in somewhere I'll do it.

Never used the d7000 but I hear it's better than the d90, which would mean amazing.

Hey M Dawg you wouldn't happen to know when Temple makes decisions do you?

Don't know, sorry. After the torture of waiting breathlessly last year and getting rejected everywhere I applied, I'm willfully ignoring decision dates this year.

no worries. i've never been any good at waiting. I kinda wish my friend didn't show me this site, but at the same time, boy am I glad he did.

You might want to check your mail...

I was rejected, unfortunately, but I was prepared for it. It's a very competitive school from what I understand.

If it wasn't meant to be, it wasn't meant to be. Maybe next year.

I got a letter via snail mail, not email, and my last name is toward the end of the alphabet. But a lot of schools send rejections before acceptances, so I would not take silence as a bad sign.

Haven't checked my mail yet today. But I think it will be a rejection. One last q m dawg how far are you in distance from temple?

East coast, so not so far.

Fwiw, the letter was dated January 24th. Hope you get in! It would be depressing if no one on the forum did.

crossing my fingers.
Where else did you apply?

Accepted to Temple! Anyone else hear yet?

Rushmorema, congrats! Did you get an email notice or through mail? Can I ask when it was sent?

Amypj, check your TUportal account. When you click on your apply for admissions tab and then select fall 2011 you will be able to see your admissions decision if you don't want to wait for a letter or email.

Congrats Rushmoreman!

NikonvsCanon, thanks for the info, but I thought TUportal is for their undergrad programs. I've looked through my emails from Temple but didn't find one mentioning my TUportal account... maybe I don't have one? did you get yours when you applied?

I never got one. Just called the graduate school and they said "this is funny." They transferred me to the department but I reached their voicemail. Will call the department later to ask. Thanks!

I just talked to Nicole McKenna and was told they've only accepted 5 students so far and the committee is still looking at applications. She told me that my application were just sent to the committee this week so I still need to wait for 2-3 weeks to hear back from them. She also told me that they have 70 applicants this year and they accepted 20 last year. She doesn't know how many students they will accept this year though. Hope this is helpful information for those who also applied to Temple.

Wow, that is the kinda news you don't often get through an admissions cycle.
