Dont think so. Just means they got the primary. If you sent supporting documents recently to TMDSAS they may not have it yet
Those of you who got an email...is your mcat scores already in? My app has been transmitted by TMDSAS but i take the mcat July 16th. I have not got an email from UTMB...just curious
Thanks
I talked to some friends who havent received this email yet. I think it depends on your submission date and when UTMB actually saw they got itShould I be concerned that I haven't received an "application under review" e-mail yet? My primary app was transmitted on 6/22 but all of my supporting documents were received by TMDSAS long before that. I haven't even received an acknowledgement of receipt for my primary app at any school except El Paso
Edit: nvm, just read BMEN's post and realized they may not have had a chance to process my primary even though it was already "transmitted"
FYI for those curious , when i was looking through the 2010-2011 thread, it seems the earliest interview invite date was in mid to late-ish July for an August 13th date. So heads up around that time if trends follow
To put it into perspective, its possible to get interviews invites all the way towards the end of the season(December). Heres hoping that we can avoid that and go this shorter term coming up!Good to know....That still feels really far away haha

Interview invite for 08/05/2011. Soooooooo excited! First interview invite!
Thanks. I have to say that the turnaround for UTMB was really fast. I only got the application is under review message on the 24th.
now i'm going to be checking email all day.
I got one too for the fifth
FutureMD, ill be seeing you at both interviews!
Think its random, or by order when everything is in

bigtruckguy3500 said:The pre-med advisor at my school said something along these lines - that some schools don't want you to forget about them so they save you for later in the cycle. Don't know if she was saying that just to make us feel better if we don't get an invite early on, or if it's true, but right now I'm hoping it's true.
DrHiner said:Not only do good (read: accepted) applicants interview later in the season as well as early on, but there is a lot of merit to what someone said previously about interviewing some great students later so they consider UTMB strongly. It's called the recency effect.
Additionally, interviewing at your favorite school after interviewing other places makes you more experienced (read: more likely to rock the interview). That being said, sometimes your first interview can go really well because you're still super excited and not, shall I say, "bored" of the repetativeness of multiple, nearly identical interviews?
Try to stay fresh and excited throughout the interview season... I was SO excited at UTMB, and it showed.
I interviewed there in November and was accepted. November is late in the game. Many of my classmates also interviewed in December. They got in too.
DrHiner said:I definitely think they stagger the good applicants
Now I'm going to be checking email all day.
I think all the Texas schools stagger. so dont get bent out of shape. Getting an interview means you passed their initial screening. Interview is to present your communication skills, in person desire for medicine, and come off with no emotional instabilities
I'm curious to know if these interviews are only for Texas residents? or both Texas residents and OOS?
