the hard part is over my friend, now it's time to relax until the acceptance come pouring in :xf:
 
Interview invite today! Date is set for late November.
 
If I was a betting man I would guess UTH will start sending OOS offers Nov 15 ala UTSW

I interviewed on 10/19 but still don't see the school in my rankings list. I know its nowhere near the match date yet but I still find this concerning :/

Anyone else who interviewed this date, can you tell me if it shows for you?
Click to expand...

I interviewed 10/19. UTH is in my rankings list - today was the first day I checked so maybe it's up for you now as well.
 
Figured I'd finally join up and post since I've been reading the forums so much in this crazy waiting game....

Just got an interview invite for Dec 7th, though unfortunately it conflicts with my UTMB interview so hopefully they can figure something out

App transmitted late August but MCAT not sent til Sept 26.

Non-trad, 3.8, 35Q

Godspeed
 
Just interviewed today. It was an amazing experience and I really hope to get accepted. I interviewed with two people and for the most part the interviews were relaxed. However, I did hear anecdotal evidence of one interviewee who got nailed with some difficult questions, though this seems to be an aberration from what I can tell. They really go out of their way to make everyone feel comfortable here. Again, it was a great experience.
 
About how many people are interviewed on each interview day?

No problem. Just stay relaxed. You will be fine. And I appreciate the well wishes. I'm just hoping that Houston shows up in my TMDSAS page before then! Good luck!

There were a lot of people there for interviews. If I had to put a number on it I'd say 75-80. Yeah... that many. They split us up and had half interview in the morning and half in the evening. I was lucky enough to have the first interview times in the morning.

Wow!! :wow: I was expecting a lot but not that many!
 
A staff member told me that there are usually 50-60 students at each interview day.

They only interview once a week on Fridays so don't feel overwhelmed or intimidated, the large interview cohort is a product of once weekly interviews.

There were certainly more than 60. That is for sure. However, this may not be the norm as I have only interviewed there once 😉 Also several ms2's commented that there were a lot of interviewees this time.
 
ACCEPTED!!!! yeah yeah! OOS 36 3.90, interviewed 9/28
 
Agreed Very jealous but congratulations. I interviewed 9/14 and November 15th cannot get here quick enough for us IS applicants.

Thank you very much! Congratulations!
 
Received Dec ii.

3.7ish sgpa a bit lower, >32, IS, non-trad verified bout mid August.
 
Also received December invite. See you guys there!

I was complete in July. I give up on trying to figure out any kind of order Texas schools go in. 🙂

Does anyone know if December interviews still have a chance at a pre-match offer?
 
Accepted yesterday! So amazingly surprised and grateful. 😀 I interviewed 9/28, OOS. So very happy. It was definitely my number 1 so far! Good luck to everyone else who is interviewing. It is an amazing campus and I think you'll all enjoy it a lot. If I end up attending here I'll be beyond happy. 🙂
 
Only a week left before pre-match offers come out! I'm so anxious.

You have a chance as long as there's time between your interview date and the deadline. They could decide to make you an offer on the same day as your interview if they liked you that much.

But if they don't offer you one, don't think they're not interested or that you don't have a chance.
 
Mind sharing your stats? I'm OOS and interviewed there Oct. 26...

I know I am pushing it, but any possibility of a pre-match if I interviewed Nov. 9? 😳

Anybody ever experienced this or heard of this happening?

Sure, it happens. Not frequently, but it happens.

Everyone has an equal chance assuming they discuss your interview before the pre-match offer deadline is reached.
 
How come there aren't more people on here talking about pre-match offers? When are they going to let us know? 🙁

Edit:
So I logged on to TMDSAS and UT Houston is listed as one of my schools to rank.... Are they not sending out acceptances via email?


Second edit: (wow, this is getting pathetic)
Just realized that just because I can rank the school doesn't mean they offered me a spot pre-match. Is this simply for the actual match? I'm so impatient. :S

Third edit:
Received my acceptance email at 8:02AM! Really excited 😀
(3.81/34Q, interviewed on 9/14)

just got the pre-matched email for UT Houston 🙂
 
Congratulations to all of the acceptances so far.

For those without an acceptance, UT-H is pretty big on sending acceptances through the match and we have a HUGE waitlist movement once Baylor sends out all of its acceptances. I'm sure 40-50 were accepted after May last year.

Keep your heads up and don't spend all of winter break last year worrying. Trust me.
