Is it too late to apply to this school? Looking to add a school or two.

I believe their deadline is one of the earliest, like September 30. You’d have to double check that to make sure I’m not confusing schools. But if so that’s coming up very quick & were toward the end of their application cycle.
 
Any applicants interview last cycle, sit in the waitlist, and reapply this year? I’ve heard there isn’t a second interview, so what’s the game plan? Wait until Dec 2??
 
When did everyone get an interview after having all their information received? Have been "under review" for a good amount of time now.

Are majority of the students from the Appalachia region? Is geographic region taken into account for OOS students? For example, student from southwest VA vs. Boston MA?

For almost every school, geographic region is a factor.

Do you have anyone in your class who got waitlisted one year and got an acceptance the next? Am I right in saying they don’t offer second interviews?

That's correct, no second interviews. I want to say we have one guy who didn't get in the first time around and this was his third cycle and he got in, but I'm not 100% sure. UT doesn't offer any additional interviews, so if you don't get in this year and apply next year, they base their decision off of your one and only performance the first time! Does that make sense?

Yes thanks! I interviewed late last cycle (after that December decision day date) and got waitlisted. Reapplying again this year and got a notification mid October that I got “invited for interview” but I called in and got it cleared up!

Thanks you too! To your other reply, interviews are very relaxed. Granted, I came in nervous, but they’re really intentional to have a laidback environment. I had 2 interviews with 2 professors in each one: one academic and one more personal/EC based. I think one recommendation I would give is to come in with a handful of questions to ask in your interviews but as well as a Q/A session they’ll probably have at the end of the day.
 
Okay

Does anyone know if they’re done with acceptances for now or will there be another wave tomorrow/near future??

Does anyone know how long does the school do interview? like until February or March? If you haven't gotten an interview, that means you are done right?
😢
 
Someone told me they called the school and they said they've given all their acceptances today.
Don't lose hope though!

I also got the alternate email today. I wonder if the sent out any rejections or did all interviews get waitlisted.
 
I also received the alternate email. I was waitlisted last year. Does anyone know if there’s a difference between the two? Or are they just calling waitlisters alternates this year?
