If you receive a secondary are you likely to get an interview? The secondary was just a form not essays so I'm confused on how they select
According to a doctor who works at UT, secondary = II

Are you IS or OOS? Also when were you complete? A lot of us have been waiting since August - most of us were complete then. It appears they're going through it by stats. Looking at last year's threads, even being complete in August you could have an interview in April.How long did it take people to get an II after they got the "secondary complete" email? I'm assuming it varies by person, but just thought I'd ask.
Ah darn. I'm OOS and was complete Oct 7th so I'll probably be waiting for a while. Thanks for the insight though.Are you IS or OOS? Also when were you complete?

Ah! Are you from a neighboring state? I guess they sent the new wave of secondaries out @feather_dream Best of luck.Ah darn. I'm OOS and was complete Oct 7th so I'll probably be waiting for a while. Thanks for the insight though.
Does anyone know how long after an interview to expect an acceptance/rejection
My interview day Dean Strother told us that the first admissions committee meeting will be October 28th with decisions going out the next week on the 4th of November. I think he said they would then do a meeting per month after that, but I'm not as sure about that. So then to answer your question, it might depend on when you interview more than just a consistent two week window or something like that.Does anyone know how long after an interview to expect an acceptance/rejection

I think the people getting IIs are just not avid posters but they're definitely still going. They don't interview in as huge amounts as other schools that interview 20 people per day. If you have a secondary, don't worry. You have a good chance of being accepted if you're OOSHave their been many other interview invites? I know that UT is a little bit behind the curve and doesn't attract as many applicants, but it seems like there have been very few interviews for it being the middle of October already.

They don't get very many secondaries to the OOS applicants, so chances of acceptance for that would be greater. They seem to interview a lot of IS in comparison. I'm not sure though are you IS and when was your secondary sent in? I'm IS as well. They seem to be going through by stats and haven't hit me yet!You mean IS?

How would you rate my competitiveness for UTHSC? IS applicant, 503 MCAT, 3.46 sGPA 3.64 cGPA. Strong ECs. Worked in several different research labs. 2 journal publications and numerous oral and poster presentations. I've already applied this cycle, but I'm giving it some heavy thought to just take the "L" on this year and re-take my MCAT and apply later. That seems to be the weakest part of my application.Hi all! I am currently a second year that attends at UT COM. Does anyone have questions specific for UTHSC? I'll be around throughout the application process.
Hey everyone
I applied a few weeks ago to UTHSC with a LizzyM of ~71. I am IS and have strong ECs, and I was wondering if anyone had success stories about applying this late in the cycle?
It is really just so hard to tell the "competitiveness" of an applicant based on this shallow of an assessment. Obviously I'm sure you know that your numbers are going to be low for all MD schools, but with "strong EC's", you may be able to sneak an acceptance. Should you not get in anywhere this cycle, I definitely think the MCAT would be your first area to look to improve upon. I wish you luck this cycle... and remember, you only need one acceptance to be a doc, so keep your head up if you don't hear anything for awhile!How would you rate my competitiveness for UTHSC?

Just applied, hopefully they send me some love
People got secondaries last year in November and got accepted. When did you receive your secondary? There's no real correlation of date of secondary completion and acceptance, so I would say give it a shot.
I know the committee made the first round of decisions on Friday, but does anyone know when survey letters/decisions are mailed out?

Is your interview next week? Do they call or email?Just got an II. November is going to be a busy month.
It is, but I'll have to reschedule because I have another interview literally the day before.Is your interview next week? Do they call or email?
What are your stats and your secondary complete date if you don't mind me asking?Just got an II. November is going to be a busy month.
What are your stats and your secondary complete date if you don't mind me asking?
ISS Stats: sGPA:3.59, cGPA:3.64, MCAT:516, Trad, URMWhat are your stats and your secondary complete date if you don't mind me asking?
Does anyone know the order that they go through applications? i.e. earlier secondaries get interviews first, higher MCATs have priority, etc?
I know that a majority of their interviews happen in Jan-Feb. A lot of the interviews Oct-Dec (I think they take a break from interviews in December) will be high LizzyM scores. A few people I knew in Ugrad got in by December last year, but they were all UT students, which I think holds some priority as well.
It makes me feel a wholeeee lot better that a URM with roughly the same LM and complete date as me just now got an interview... If they are just now interviewing these types of applicants, I'm sure they still have a longggg way to go lolStats: sGPA:3.59, cGPA:3.64, MCAT:516, Trad, URM
Complete on 8/25

Does being interviewed earlier benefit? Anyone knowIf it's any re-assurance, the other applicants on my application day seemed ridiculously qualified. I definitely felt intimidated by the schools they went to. I'm sure for many of them UT is a safety school. They are going down the list by stats, and rest assured that they will get to you.
Mr. Strother said UT tends to frontload their acceptances, so I believe so. Also, I received an email from Mrs. Diane last night saying letters are going to be mailed out Monday.Does being interviewed earlier benefit? Anyone know
If they just now made it to wanderingorion with the 516 they are going to be out of acceptances by the time they get to me!!!Mr. Strother said UT tends to frontload their acceptances, so I believe so.

Don't worry, you'll get yours =)If they just now made it to wanderingorion with the 516 they are going to be out of acceptances by the time they get to me!!!
siggggh hopefully not as accomplished as you but my stats are a perfect fit for an IS residentDon't worry, you'll get yours =)
Great, I'm sure they'll love to have you.siggggh hopefully not as accomplished as you but my stats are a perfect fit for an IS resident
Complete in August yes! Very well-deserved for you though. Your stats are the result of your hard work and you should feel proud. Just need to do something to get this off my mind for a while lolGreat, I'm sure they'll love to have you.
That's one pet peeve I have about when people ask for stats. I don't want to make anyone doubt themselves. I've felt the same way with other school threads.
You got a secondary right?
Cool, I've seen that if you get a secondary you get a II, so that's good.Complete in August yes! Very well-deserved for you though. Your stats are the result of your hard work and you should feel proud. Just need to do something to get this off my mind for a while lol
II today! Complete mid-September. Nontrad, LizzyM ~63, OOS.
