I interview the 31st well, see you there!

 

[mimi13]

I interviewed in early September. Great school. Definitely top of my list, but I am oos... So we will see!

 

[tracy123]

Yes I cnt wait I looked forward to meeting you! ;=)

 

[tracy123]

@mimi13 thats awesome Im like super nervous b/c the interview is on the same day that my father passed away. I think it's kind of wierd but im probably going to be nervous either way lol I hope they don't drill with crazy questions and im oos as well. I wonder how many oos students they accept especially because their class size is b/w 57-60 students?

 

[GsuDent]

They accept maybe 10. Mostly Florida and TN residents. If you are a minority, the school is not diverse at all. It is still a pretty good school.

 

[atomsforpizza]

the acceptance/interview information from DocToothache's spreadsheet (2010 or 2010 i think) says for OOS, they interviewed 41, accepted 23, and usually 8-10 people wind up enrolling. which is pretty good for an OOS I think. like GsuDent says, the odds would def be in your favor in you're a.) URM and b.) from GA/TN/FL

of course at the end of the day, it's about beasting your interview.

It really isn't an interview to be nervous about. Dr. Filler is really nice, and the questions were really laid back. Good luck!

 

[tracy123]

Awww thanks @mimi13 I hope so.

Well, I am from GA and im considered an URM however, I think I did okay on my DAT. I like this school as well as UT health science center. I just think it's kind of wierd the # of oos most of these schools accept.

 

[tracy123]

Also, does any1 know what the acceptance process is like. Do they request additional information like special letters from the dean and a criminal background check?!? I didn't see that information on their website?!?

Anyone else hear anything since the 3rd?

 

[rahrahre]

That call Monday morning was the highlight of my year!

 

[gibbon05120]

Anyone heard anything since the 1st round acceptances in December? I am figuring they will release 2nd round offers pretty soon after looking at previous years' forum activity. Anyone know anything I don't????

 

[gibbon05120]

I got the call of my life today at 10:48 from Dr. Filler (missed the first three calls). Accepted off the in-state alternate list! God is good.
