Temple University’s 2023-24 Essay Prompts

Common app personal essay.

The essay demonstrates your ability to write clearly and concisely on a selected topic and helps you distinguish yourself in your own voice. What do you want the readers of your application to know about you apart from courses, grades, and test scores? Choose the option that best helps you answer that question and write an essay of no more than 650 words, using the prompt to inspire and structure your response. Remember: 650 words is your limit, not your goal. Use the full range if you need it, but don‘t feel obligated to do so.

Some students have a background, identity, interest, or talent that is so meaningful they believe their application would be incomplete without it. If this sounds like you, then please share your story.

The lessons we take from obstacles we encounter can be fundamental to later success. Recount a time when you faced a challenge, setback, or failure. How did it affect you, and what did you learn from the experience?

Reflect on a time when you questioned or challenged a belief or idea. What prompted your thinking? What was the outcome?

Reflect on something that someone has done for you that has made you happy or thankful in a surprising way. How has this gratitude affected or motivated you?

Discuss an accomplishment, event, or realization that sparked a period of personal growth and a new understanding of yourself or others.

Describe a topic, idea, or concept you find so engaging that it makes you lose all track of time. Why does it captivate you? What or who do you turn to when you want to learn more?

Share an essay on any topic of your choice. It can be one you‘ve already written, one that responds to a different prompt, or one of your own design.

What will first-time readers think of your college essay?

Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University 2022-2023 secondary application essay questions

• There is a 2,000 character limit per essay question, including spaces.
• All questions are required

LKSOM secondary essay #1

What is the nature of your interest in the Lewis Katz School of Medicine?

Here, you should describe particular programs at Temple that interest you . Review their website and materials and make a list of about 3 or 4 specific characteristics that you appreciate about Temple. Then, write specifically about each one and why you would like to participate.

LKSOM secondary essay #2

How do you plan on contributing to the Lewis Katz School of Medicine Community?  LKSOM seeks an engaged student body with a wide variety of backgrounds, experiences, perspectives, and interests to enhance the medical school experience for everyone. Please use the space below to describe what makes you unique as an applicant, an obstacle that you had to overcome, or how you will contribute to the LKSOM community.

For this prompt, make a list of your unique characteristics that might not be evident from the rest of your application. Be sure to include anything that might highlight diversity of experience or background . Then, choose the most compelling and write an essay where you specifically explain what your unique quality is and why it will contribute to the community, keeping in mind the values of the medical school and mission.

LKSOM secondary essay #3

Tell us about your special interest in the campus you selected .

Because Temple has multiple campuses, you should rank your choices and write why you are interested in your first-choice campus. The main campus is in Philadelphia. You can cite reasons relating to special programs, proximity to family, or group dynamics.

LISTEN: An Interview With the Temple Katz School of Medicine Admissions Dean >>

LKSOM secondary essay #4

What are your plans for the current year – June 2022 until June 2023?

Explain to the adcom what you are doing during the gap year. Include volunteer and other experiences to give the full picture. If you are still in school, mention that, including additional or continued volunteer work. If you are taking the MCAT, mention that too.

LKSOM secondary essay #5

The Coronavirus pandemic has affected all of us. Please use this space to describe to us how you were impacted academically, personally or professionally by COVID-19. 

It is true, COVID-19 has derailed the majority of volunteer work, shadowing, academic research, internships and MCAT plans for medical school applicants. The good news is you’re not alone. 

Medical schools want to know how future students’ application requirements may have been affected by the COVID-19 crisis. 

It’s likely this prompt is a place for LKSOM to easily and uniformly locate information on how applicants were affected by COVID-19s. That’s practical. So, stay clear and categorize in the manner they ask: personal, professional and educational.

Also, consider that this prompt offers a brief opportunity to place in context the effect of a public health crisis that no one could foresee, perhaps in your concluding comment. Avoid self-pity. Avoid woe-is-me. Convey instead how you, a future doctor, adjusted and further engaged the crisis. How did you step up to the pandemic , in whatever practical or innovative way? Did you organize students to deliver groceries to vulnerable people in your neighborhood? Did you involve yourself in the vaccination efforts or contact tracing? If your clinical volunteer work was cancelled, did you participate remotely in a hotline or crisis prevention center? Any of these activities are worth mentioning as part of how you were affected by and responded to the pandemic.

Watch: What is the LKSOM adcom looking for in secondary applications?

Jacob Ufberg, Associate Dean of Admissions, shares what the admissions team hopes to learn about applicants when they review secondaries:

LKSOM Letters of Recommendation

LKSOM participates in the AMCAS Letters of Evaluation Program. Letters can be sent to AMCAS through the AMCAS Letter Writer Application or Interfolio. All letters should be on letterhead and contain the letter writer’s signature. If LKSOM is designated as a recipient of the letter on the AMCAS application, AMCAS will release the electronic copy to LKSOM.  All letters designated for LKSOM must be received before your application will go under review. LKSOM will consider letters of recommendation from a premedical committee, a packet from a school letter compilation service, or three (3) individual letters. If submitting a compilation packet or individual letters, we  prefer, but do not require,  two (2) letters from professors with whom you completed course work from the AMCAS course classification of Biology, Chemistry, or Physics. – We welcome letters from research experiences, but prefer them in addition to the requested science letters from professors with whom you completed coursework. – One (1) additional letter is required from a non-science professor, work experience, or service activity. – A premedical committee letter does not need a specific number of science/non-science letters. At any point in the application process, you are welcome to submit additional letters to support your application and encouraged to use the AMCAS letter service to transmit these letters.

When done, thank those who wrote letters for you.  

Situational Judgment Test

All applicants to the MD program are required to complete an online assessment, CASPer, to assist with the selection process. CASPer is an online, video-scenario based test which assesses non-cognitive skills and interpersonal characteristics that are important for success in our program and will complement the other tools that we use for applicant selection. LKSOM will not use DUET or Snapshot for the entering 2023 application cycle.

Check out our CASPER tips here.

Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University is dedicated to excellence in education, research and patient care, achieved by faculty, staff and learners who represent and serve our diverse society.

(All prompts have a 2,000 character limit):

1. What is the nature of your interest in the Lewis Katz School of Medicine?*

The first strategy to answering this question is doing some research on the program website to understand some of its nuances. Is it very strong in a particular field of research, or perhaps in community clinical work for the underserved? If one of these aspects aligns with your strengths or interests, explain how you are a great fit for this reason. Be aware of the missions statement of the school and tie your strengths into that. The mission statement is as follows:

The School provides: – Education that is patient-centered, instilling in learners the School’s ethic of human service and lifelong learning – Research that advances and integrates basic and clinical science – Patient care that is administered with compassion and understanding, utilizing contemporary knowledge and techniques

How do you plan on contributing to the Lewis Katz School of Medicine Community?*LKSOM seeks an engaged student body with a wide variety of backgrounds, experiences, perspectives, and interests to enhance the medical school experience for everyone. Please use the space below to describe what makes you unique as an applicant, an obstacle that you had to overcome, or how you will contribute to the LKSOM community. 

Brainstorm what is unique about your background. Is it your place of birth, your family, your culture, or your path to medicine? Also consider prior adversity you have had to overcome and how that has shaped your values. Consider 1-2 of these experiences and weave a story about them which show your unique characteristics. Specifically answer how this can contribute to your medical school class; consider the effect you might have on your peers, professors and patients.

3. Tell us about your special interest in the campus you selected.

**There are 2 campuses: 1. North Philadelphia and 2. St. Luke’s campus in Bethlehem, PA. The one you select is the one where you will be considered for admission.**

The following link to the Temple LKSOM website describes the options students have for different regional and clinical campuses for their training. Discuss your preference and why. Do some research on the differences in location between populations served, strengths of the hospitals, etc. and make an informed decision.

4. What are your plans for the current year – June 2022 until June 2023? 

This question requires having a plan in place for the application year. Be honest and describe what your goals are. Make sure you include something medically related that will help you grow and prepare to become a physician: reading and learning, some volunteer work, a research project, another professional job. It does not have to be grand, but some connection the medical field is probably prudent. Feel free to be honest with other pursuits for personal growth in other areas.

Temple test-optional questions

<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>"We call it “the Temple option” and that students will have the option, when they are filling out their application, to either submit their test scores or not submit their test scores.</p>

<p>If they choose not to submit their test scores, we will then prompt them to visit what we call the “TU portal.” They will have access to four short-answer, self -reflective questions. And we mean short-answer, I think we mean that we’re asking them to complete these answers within 100 to 150 words. Then those responses will be scored, and we will convert those into a score that will then be applied to our overall admission deliberations."</p>

<p>The thing is, when I logged into my TUPortal account I didn’t see any of those questions. Besides, would they even know I applied since I submitted my application through CommonApp instead, and not the standard Temple application? I’m interested in how that works out, because I really wanna answer these questions as soon as possible.</p>

<p>call them. there were some blips in teh common app last year. or you can email them. i’ve done both and admisisons responded both ways. see if anything is “missing” and what you can do to resolve problem. others may have similar issues and admissions may have a short answer for u. </p>

<p>No need, got an email this morning about the questions. Apparently I was able to use the TUPortal account I made before I submitted on Common App which was pretty convenient.</p>

<p>Anyone have an idea what the questions are, by the way?</p>

Is essay writing service legal?

Essay writing services are legal if the company has passed a number of necessary checks and is licensed. This area is well developed and regularly monitored by serious services. If a private person offers you his help for a monetary reward, then we would recommend you to refuse his offer. A reliable essay writing service will always include terms of service on their website. The terms of use describe the clauses that customers must agree to before using a product or service. The best online essay services have large groups of authors with diverse backgrounds. They can complete any type of homework or coursework, regardless of field of study, complexity, and urgency.

When you contact the company Essayswriting, the support service immediately explains the terms of cooperation to you. You can control the work of writers at all levels, so you don't have to worry about the result. To be sure of the correctness of the choice, the site contains reviews from those people who have already used the services.

How will you prove that the drafts are original and unique?
