May be the same for me...

I suppose if they don't send me a secondary, I should at least be thankful they didn't just say "Meh, he's good for $50."

Always look on the bright side I guess...
 
Has anyone else gotten the secondary yet?
 
I got this secondary a couple weeks ago, already turned it in with my photo. LOR probably in by now.
 
Got this one also, it has a quick 5 day turnaround.

So this is screened? I didn't realize that.

They cashed my check today

It's my (albeit possibly wrong) understanding that is IS screened, but not as heavily as other screeners.

K. Hopefully they are passing out the IS's first (and I'm still in the running)! 🙂🙂

I got mine in July, and I'm OOS. It's still early in the app season so don't be worried. :luck:
 
For any OOS applicants, how long after AMCAS verification did you receive your actual secondary request?
 
Anyone know when interviews start for UT?
 
I hope they start soon! I looked through last year's posts and saw that they offered an invite around 9/25. Hopefully some people will start hearing next week.

lets keep our fingers crossed 🙂
 
I believe they are working on interview schedules right now, so the invites should go out soon, maybe end of this week even.
 
I just got an email with my interview date. I believe you can change it, but it may make the interview quite a bit later if you do.
 
got mine for oct 8th....time to take off school for a day 🙂
 
any news on out of staters and secondaries yet? I think I am going to call them today and see.
 
Hey,

I just interviewed there on Oct 8th. I think this is their first week of interview's so it is still really early in the season for UT interviews. They told me their committee is meeting again on Oct.17th to review the interviews from these two weeks, not sure when they are meeting to send secondaries/invites. Typically they meet on fridays I think.

Best of luck everyone,
 
I called today and she told me not to worry. She said that if I hadn't received anything yet it was good? Anyway I just got the impression that I should hang on for awhile longer. I suppose I will wait until the end of the month before calling again. Any other suggestions?

sounds like they're only handing out rejections at this point. maybe we should just be patient and wait for whatever they've got coming.
 
Hey guys! I'm a current M2 at UT. Just wanted to reiterate that its EARLY in the interview season for us. Our first interviews were just last week, so there's plenty of time left. 🙂 I know how stressful all the waiting is, but try to keep in mind that its a long process and things might not start happening all at once in October. And if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask! I'm not on here much, but I pop through once in a while. Best of luck!

You're right! I just got an invite tonight for 10/27
 
Hey guys. I'm a long time listener and first time caller...

Just a quick question regarding UT interview invites. Does anyone know if they need the pre-professional evaluation prior to interview invites? I'm still waiting on one letter of rec from a professor. I'm trying to decide whether that's holding me up or not. Thanks. I must now go discover the Mississippi River...
 
How long did it take all the OOS applicants to receive a secondary?

I got mine on 9/5. My AMCAS was verified on 8/25.
 
Just got an acceptance letter today from UT!!!
Whooo Hooo!!!!

:banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::banana:
 
Accepted today also 🙂
 
You guys will probably want to go somewhere else. Make room for me!

Just kidding, congratulations. Obviously you were first choice candidates, and I expect you really will be getting acceptances from other places as well. Any clues as to when the next rounds of UT interviews are? I'm still waiting on word for mine.
 
Is anybody else interviewing there on Monday?
 
Still waiting on my secondary request from this school (if one is coming?)...will they tell me if I have been rejected before the secondary?
 
This is my top choice for several reasons and I have been accepted. I interviewed 10/21

Way to go! Are you IS or OOS?

I'm OOS and I loved this school. I got a 'continue to review' letter post-interview, though. 🙁

In-State. Thank you for your wishes. I hope you get an acceptance too. I really like their clinical years and the hands-on time that medical students get.
 
Does anybody have any clue as to how often they bring in groups to interview or how often they meet to decide who to extend interview invitations to?

My understanding is that they interview three days of the week (Mon, Tue, Wed) and the committee, right now, meets every alternate Friday, but that would become weekly as the number of interviewees picks up.
