It is a separate interview I'm pretty sure. But I am RD so don't quote me on that.Did you have a separate interview for FMAT? Or was it just in interview for the school in general?

Yes I had 3 interviews in total. 1 FMAT, 1 MD, and 1 faculty. The first 2 were closed and the last one was open file.Did you have a separate interview for FMAT? Or was it just in interview for the school in general?
I want to be the first to congratulate you on your achievement. You're going to be a fantastic doctor!Prematch came in about 10 minutes ago! Interviewed on 9/30
Thank you!!! And congratulations on all your successes too! (and the many more to come )I want to be the first to congratulate you on your achievement. You're going to be a fantastic doctor!
Nice!! Congratulations! And way to get the threads going again with some action. Here's to more members hearing from Lubbock in the very near future!Prematch came in about 10 minutes ago! Interviewed on 9/30
Hoping a lot of us hear back, fingers crossed 🤞Nice!! Congratulations! And way to get the threads going again with some action. Here's to more members hearing from Lubbock in the very near future!
Time for a rally!!Hoping a lot of us hear back, fingers crossed 🤞
There isn't really ever any movement on weekends. It all happens during business hours unless there is a weird deadline that falls on the weekend (like pre-match going out on October 15th).Any movement this weekend?
Yes.does tech do traditional interviews?
When were you complete?IS II this morning!
At this school they seem to notify you by email.Does a pre-match acceptance show up in the Texas tech portal first before you receive an email?
Yep, there was a pre-interview social! It was the night before form 7-8pm CST, and the invite for it was sent out like 5 days prior to the scheduled interview.Does TTU Lubbock have a pre-interview social the night before? Didn't see it on the email for tomorrow's session, but want to make sure I'm not missing anything.
For the 9/10 one they didn’t send anything until the day before but the event was from 8am-12pm (check in started at 7:30 but the doors didn’t open until around 7:45) at their academics event center on the TTUHSC campus if this helps at all. Im assuming it would be same time across events but maybe someone who went to another date can confirm?Does anybody know when they'll send details about the preview day in December? I signed up but didn't receive anything and I'm trying to book a flight and a place to stay.
YesDoes this school accept updates?

An email I got says 12/10, but I'd double-check if I were you.Is the next preview day December 8th or 9th?
I booked it a long while ago and didn't get a confirmation email so I totally forgot what day it was. I just remember it's one of those days.
Thank you!!An email I got says 12/10, but I'd double-check if I were you.
Edit: All the other dates provided were Saturdays, so 12/10 sounds right to me!

The more interviews will increase your likelihood of a match, but there is no guarantee. Your interview has to add to their impression of you, not ruin itDoes this school give out a lot of pre-matches? Also, does the TMDSAS match system guarantee acceptance if you got 5 interviews?
Do you have any interviews left? May be you should do some mock interviews.Does this school give out a lot of pre-matches? Also, does the TMDSAS match system guarantee acceptance if you got 5 interviews?
no more interviews left. But also I didn't get any pre-matches. should I be worried? Im starting to think they didn't like my interviewsDo you have any interviews left? May be you should do some mock interviews.
As @wysdoc says, with more interviews your admission chances go up but if you do something in the interviews they dont like nothing is guaranteed.
I invite you to take a look at this post of mine- and even though you would love a prematch offer now, most people don’t get one The Republic of Texas XLI: You'll Never Break A Horse if You Stay Sittin' on the Fenceno more interviews left. But also I didn't get any pre-matches. should I be worried? Im starting to think they didn't like my interviews
Hey @wantstobeaphysician , what nobody has said so far is how amazing it is to get 5 interviews. They saw something in your application that made them want to meet you, and it's pretty rare to get that many interviews. You have done what you need to, take pride in it! and I hope that one of those turns into an acceptance for you in March.no more interviews left. But also I didn't get any pre-matches. should I be worried? Im starting to think they didn't like my interviews
Yes, getting 5 interviews in Texas is not easy. I have come across many who didn't get a match with 2 interviews last year but I am yet to come across one with 5.Hey @wantstobeaphysician , what nobody has said so far is how amazing it is to get 5 interviews.

I only have two so that’s kinda scaryYes, getting 5 interviews in Texas is not easy. I have come across many who didn't get a match with 2 interviews last year but I am yet to come across one with 5.
If nothing happens before match, there will be many seats released during match where all the people here with multiple admissions will need to release all their prematches down to 1 admission. So you will have 5 different schools which may have ranked you to match during the match process as next in line.
A majority of medical school students according AMCAS have only one admission and many go by default to their state school where many states have only one medical school. A corollary to that is that they may have only interviewed at that one state school.I only have two so that’s kinda scary
On Reddit I've seen one person with 7 who didn't match but that must be very very rare. 5 interviews is very impressive.Yes, getting 5 interviews in Texas is not easy. I have come across many who didn't get a match with 2 interviews last year but I am yet to come across one with 5.

Please Don't Worry! keep your hopes up. Remember with interviews it's quality over quantity. Many people get a lot of interviews but don't match while other people might get one interview and match. I'm worried because I don't have a backup plan. Medicine is the only thing I want to doI only have two so that’s kinda scary
Texas with match process works differently and they also cancel everyone who has an admission not to be on waitlists beyond May 15th to make room for people without an admission. Being a Texas resident who interviewed in Texas has certain advantages over someone in Reddit who might be interviewing nationally (I am assuming).On Reddit I've seen one person with 7 who didn't match but that must be very very rare. 5 interviews is very impressive.
