Yes I have and I'm OOS.
Yes, OOS, I did not receive an e-mail but when I checked BAMF it said I had an interview..

II! temple..
no clue. I marked "later" did you have to do the same?
Yeah I did. I figured if I don't hear from them today I may call tomorrow.
I marked "later" the day I got my II. They responded and rescheduled the next day.
hopefully we hear back soon!
Thanks so much! We're they flexible with your changes?
They originally set mine for 8/1 at temple but, they responded asking if 8/29 would work. That date worked for me so, I didn't really ask them for a particular date. I'm sure they will be flexible though. They have interviews every Thursday through December I believe. Plenty of dates for rescheduling
Great! Thanks so much for the response.
Just wondering but for those who got interviews, did your status change from pending to under review?

Yes, my status changed from "pending" to "under review" a while ago.
Yes, I also got an email saying that I needed to fill out a 'student registration form'. After I completed that on BAMF, then it changed to 'under review'.
Would talking about taking care of my grandma and her deteriorating mental state be a good topic for the "human condition" question? Are they just looking to see if you are a sympathetic person with some sense of emotion?
With all of you guys picking a later date, I kind of wish I had too. I received an email invite for an 08/01 interview. But oh well.
Anyone out there down to meet up on the 31st? I'd feel a lot more comfortable if I had a friend in the group of interviewees rather than looking at everyone as my competition. 😀

I have an 8-1 interview as well. Had no choice interviews at other dates already set.
I'll be driving up on the morning of the first. When I get to the check in, I'll slyly make some remark about hoping none of my interviews get too mischievous. That'll be your signal to reveal yourself.
I guess I will be on the look out for the key word too!
Im jealous yall are having a party without me. Maybe at another school at a later date?
A slight problem with one of my recs held up my A&M app from being reviewed really early; subsequently, I was given a 9/5 interview date. Unlike some of you who want a later time, I desperately want to interview on 8/1. I wonder if they'd consider allowing a switch?
They are already giving September interview invites???
Just bought my suit and shoes and all that.
If I mess up the interview, at least I'll be looking fly while doing it

I will be there too!
Damn, SDN party! Where is everyone staying? Not trying to sound like a creeper. I really liked how Foster gave us a list of nearby hotels and information. A&M isn't giving us crap (granted, I'm still bitter about the late notice; went to buy a suit and it'll take a week for it to be tailored, so I'll be picking it up next Wednesday. annoying)

I emailed Whitney from admissions and she told me that a student hosts and a dinner activity are run by student organizations. She said they should contact us by the Friday before the interview and she was going to email them and get back to me. However, I still haven't heard anything yet. I am waiting to book a hotel until I see I may get a free stay!
hey vans, hear anything about rescheduling yet?
Haha I was thinking about aski you the same thing! I haven't hear from them yet.
just heard back hope you hear back soon!
Thanks for letting me know! I hope I hear back soon too. Did they call or email you?
email- then once you give them the date you want they'll resend the interview invite emails
Awesome! I'm still waitin to hear, but that sounds like a good deal.
For anyone that is interviewing at the Temple campus, I emailed Whitney about a student host. She set up a M1 for me to stay with.
Thank you for posting! I emailed them and got a quick reply...very impressed
Do y'all know about how long it took for your status to change to 'under review' after you released your MCAT score to TMDSAS?
Fellow 08/01-ers, did you guys get the email about the dinner on the 31st? Anyone going?
I should be there because I fly into Dallas at noon on the 31. So I will have lots of time to kill.
how will you be getting to Temple from Dallas?
Judging by the name, I would assume he plans on running.

I did, but I'm not gonna be going.
Ha that's the plan! I thought a hundred mile run would be good prep the day before an interview.
has anyone heard back about the student housing program for the night before interviews?
I definitely think that sounds like a great plan!
I emailed Whitney on the Temple campus and she set up a host for me.
