Members don't see this ad.

granted this was a couple of years ago and personnel have changed lately, but they told me they will usually let people move their date 1 time. I had to push my interview date back a week and it apparently caused no problems.

but either way you know you'd rather come to UT-H, so if you get one from us and Baylor on the same day, push Baylor back 😉

Y U NO LOVE ME UT-H.

Grats on the interviews 🙂

you're next. UT-H loves you too.

Congrats to recent interview invites - hopefully by early september the first years will have a clue what we're doing!

 

[armybound]

The new first years are always the best people to talk to because they can really tell you how med school compares to undergrad, but only after they've taken a test. I remember interviewees talking to the first years last year at the end of their first block of exams. You'll get some honest answers from people that stressed out

Lucky me, just got an application complete email.

Edit: DAMN, beat to it. Probably because I was trying to ask BMEN if he had gotten the same email via Facebook.

 

[armybound]

interesting, that's something new..

 

[therunner12]

It's probably only sent to those of us that will be getting full-rides.

 

[BMEN]

Yea that was my thought. It got me happy then sad then neutral

 

[armybound]

haha 👍

you guys must have missed the part of the email that said "And we're not going to invite you for an interview, so forget about it."

Whelp, I'm going to wallow in self-pity now. BRB.

 

[armybound]

nah, best of luck to all of you. hopefully you will get an interview sooner rather than later.

Thanks. It's my top choice so hopefully.

 

[armybound]

just remember that interview date doesn't impact your chance of admission. I know we all like to interview early, but it's not necessary to get in 🙂 plus the weather sucks now, wait until it gets a little cooler to come visit

Weather is the exact same in College Station if not worse

Thanks! Anxiously waiting.

 

[Cinematographer]

Got the same confirmation email. What a tease and awful way to head to my Jiu Jitsu class. I will most likely get triangled because of it.

 

[Jimmer]

haha 👍

they wrote that section in bold & underlined it in my email.

 

[alienwares]

Just got the same email. So very harsh.

 

[armybound]

at least nobody has to wonder if their app was received anymore

 

[asrikrishnan]

[ilostmytail]

LOL I'm in the same boat...got back from volunteering and saw the email. It got me excited for no reason. I guess i'll just nap and dream about an invitation email.

 

[Whatyousay]

Very funny, UT-H.


Waiting for next Monday 🙂

 

[SanAntonian]

Um... well this sucks. I never got a confirmation email lol

Just got my confirmation also. Yours will be arriving soon 🙂

 

[toxictrix]

I got the confirmation email and I already have the interview. It was a little odd.

[hopesolo]

II 9/16 as well! looking forward to meeting some of you all there 🙂

 

[Techmed07]

II 9/16! Probably reschedule though. I hope they let me.

 

[alienwares]

I will see you all on 9/16! 🙂

3 of my interview invites have come on the two days that I forgot to obsessively check my email. Maybe it's a sign.

 

[Whatyousay]

II 9/16! Probably reschedule though. I hope they let me.

UT-H doesn't seem too flexible about re-scheduling interviews.

"Those applying for EY 2012, please note it is very difficult to reschedule your interview day & you are not guaranteed an alternate date."

 

[nicemsp]

Did any OOS applicants receive interview invites?

 

[RacquetballFan7]

In the Interview Invite email they sent an attachment with a shuttle pass. If we are bringing a car, we can get to everyplace we need with a car right. Is the shuttle only for people who are flying in without cars? or Is the shuttle pass needed for the tour or other parts of the day??

 

[armybound]

You should only need the shuttle pass of you're staying with a student who rides the shuttle to school

I have the same problem techmed. I hope they let us reschedule

 

[hopesolo]

how are you guys preparing for the interview? are there resources that I should be aware of? I'm a nontrad applicant so won't have access to mock interviews. Thanks!
