Congrats on the interview. Don't be nervous, it's the same as a one on one interview except they will alternate asking questions. Pretty standard questions if I recall.Hi everyone! My interview day at SHSU-COM is coming up and I'm a little nervous. This isn't my first interview, but it is the first one where I'll be interviewed by two faculty members at once. Can anyone give me any advice as to what they might ask? Also, the group activity, what does that look like? Are you asked to work in teams to solve something? Any help would be greatly appreciated and good luck to everyone interviewing!
The group activity was super fun in my opinion, just be friendly and actively participate! The interviewers just take turns to ask questions, nothing too crazyHi everyone!

I was at the same interview!!!Just prematched!!! Interviewed 9/10, LM 71
Thank you so much for the advice and the heads up on the interviewers alternating questions part. Now I know what to expect. Thanks again!Congrats on the interview.

For group activity, just know that they are more interested in how you interact and if you are willing to contribute. It's pretty chill
Thank you kindly for your advice! Definitely feel a lot better now that I know the group activity is super chill.The group activity was super fun in my opinion, just be friendly and actively participate! The interviewers just take turns to ask questions, nothing too crazy

Thank you so much!Standard 30 min virtual interview with 2 interviewers taking turns asking the questions.
When were you complete? So sorry to hear that. Another school will be lucky to have you!Rejected pre interview today
Not at all! Definitely reach out! Worst they can say is norejected pre II complete a few weeks ago. Is it weird if I email and ask for app feedback even though I didn’t interview?
Not at all! Definitely reach out! Worst they can say is no
I just got a reply from them saying they do not have an admissions counselor and cannot provide feedback for me. Oh well on to the next 😣😢 good luck to the rest of y’all!They do application feedback but honestly it wasn't that helpful.
Did they give you feedback?They do application feedback but honestly it wasn't that helpful.
Thank you! First week of AugustWhen were you complete? So sorry to hear that. Another school will be lucky to have you!
I interviewed last app and got rejected today lolRejected pre interview today
Did they give you feedback?
lDid y’all get rejected by email or through the portal 😱
Rejected Pre-interview yesterday via email. Kinda shocked tbh
I’m just confused by this whole dang med school application process. I’m an IS Texas applicant who has received numerous acceptance offers this cycle from well-established/older OOS DO programs and my first rejection comes from a newly-established Texas DO program with a mission statement that mirrors my application to the T...am I missing something? Have any other applicants had similar experiences during this cycle?Same
I recall that a couple days before the interview, I clicked the interview tab in the portal and the two names were theredoes anyone who already interviewed know when we get information on which faculty members will be interviewing us? I can only see the interview agenda with times but no names of interviewers as of right now. Also, do we need to do anything else after selecting an interview date or do we just wait for an email closer to our interview date? thank you so much! everyone seems so kind in this forum
I feel you. Sometimes it does feel like a crapshoot tbh. I too have received lots of love from OOS DO schools, but these TX schools seem to be very stingy.I’m just confused by this whole dang med school application process.

note: I am still extremely grateful for the acceptances I have received thus far in the cycle and realize what a huge blessing it is to be in my position. I am in no way attempting to offend or upset anyone with my comments/questions, i am simply hoping to gain clarity on the matter. Congratulations to those receiving acceptances or II to SHSU!! You’re going to be doctors!
I'm pretty sure this incoming class will be composed of 150 students!i was also wondering how many students this new incoming class would be? i wasn't able to find it in this thread but I know last year's was around 100 ish
II received last week and n=1, but I did Casper and Duet, no SnapshotDid everyone who interview complete all 3 Casper, duet and Snapshot. ??
I got an interview invite but I only did the Casper test. Am I supposed to do the duet and snapshot too?Did everyone who interview complete all 3 Casper, duet and Snapshot. ??
I believe duet and snapshot are alternate measures for the school to assess whether you are a good fit for the school, but if you got an interview with just Casper you should be good? Maybe admissions or someone on this thread would be able to elaborate.I got an interview invite but I only did the Casper test. Am I supposed to do the duet and snapshot too?
I heard it was 75?I'm pretty sure this incoming class will be composed of 150 students!
It does feel like there is a lot of variability, and each school probably has their own preferences. I was a pre-interview R here, which was a slight bummer as I live about 5 minutes away, but I was accepted to a more established DO and MD school. Like you said I'm thankful but the variability is scary. I guess you just have to apply to a lot of schools.I’m just confused by this whole dang med school application process.

Well right now, their current OMS-1 class is at 112 students. They were planning to increase the class size this upcoming year!I heard it was 75?
