I will be driving the day before the interview coming from Houston. If the travel is not too bad with the traffic I will definitely let you know asap. Thank you so much.
 
Does anyone know when we should expect to hear back from UTHSCA, TWU, or St. Augustine regarding interviews?
 
Has anyone who already interviewed heard back from tech yet? I'm hoping to hear this week. And twu interviews we wont know about until december

I haven’t heard back yet, hoping to hear something this week too. Did you keep in contact with anyone else? I’m dying to know if anyone has heard back!

I interviewed at Tech 10/13 and have not heard anything back yet, but I've already been accepted elsewhere and will be starting there in January 2018.

I did with another girl in my group and she has not heard anything either
 
Still waiting to hear from Texas Tech, and I submitted in mid September 🙁. Anyone still waiting to hear from them or has recently gotten an interview?
 
I am still waiting too and submitted mid September. Compared to those with interviews to Tech by Pre Req's are lower 3.4 (OTCAS overall 3.68). I actually emailed to ask and they told me they were still reviewing and not to give up hope. So I think I am in the "back up" pile for interviews. Hanging in there...
 
To everyone that interviewed with Tech on 10/13: do you think we'll hear something today? The program director said we should hear back between 4-6 weeks and today would be that 4 week mark! Hopefully we all hear something soon!

Oh my god I did not catch the PT part and I had a mini heart attack. Would it be really bad to call?

And yeah they already have two more rounds scheduled but they do that regardless, like if you're qualified for an interview they usually invite you regardless of if there is spots left

What did they tell you when you called? Since it’s roll in basis I was hoping to hear back before the next round of interviews! I think I might give them a call Friday if we don’t hear back.

Yea- finally heard from Texas Tech to schedule an interview! Set mine up for noon on December 8th. Having to travel from Fayetteville AR - I lucked out that the 8th is a dead day before finals week.
 
Hey guys,
Does UT El Paso and UT San Antonio require prospective students to be interviewed as part of the MOT 2018 application?

Hey! I know forsure that UT San Antonio requires interviews. I do not believe UTEP does.

UTEP does not require interviews. They send their answers the beginning of March, last year they sent them right around Valentine’s Day!
 
I applied to both TWU and TTUHSC and I am becoming particularly concerned about my application to Tech. I submitted in late September and got a reply about two weeks later that my pre-reqs had been verified, but still no interview offer. Is that a bad sign? I have fairly good stats (3.8 overall GPA/3.9 on last 60 hours, lots of observation experience, good LORs, etc), but it's really beginning to worry me that so many people have already been offered interviews, even if they submitted later than I did.

in the same boat with Tech, whenever I call them or email them about the status of my app they tell me it is still under review, and I applied mid September too. TWU I do not believe have notified anyone yet.

TWU won't be notifying about interviews until December. Tech maybe you should ask if they have finished offering interviews because I know they've set up the last wrong of interviews already in december at least to my knowledge. But it doesn't make sense that you wouldn't of been notified because our stats are extremely similar and i submitted early september and was offered in the first round of interviews. I would just call and check, don't get discouraged but you definitely need to find out if you're waiting around for no reason.
 
Did you see I was just asked to interview at Tech yesterday? I also applied mid September. My last name starts with a W? Curious if that had a factor.
FYI- I also received an email from UTBM today confirming my pre- reqs taken and stating they would email interview invites on December 3rd and that the interviews are January 19th and 26th (and mandatory in person).

That's a little discouraging. I am thinking about reaching out to them but I have a feeling I'd get the same response. 🙁
 
Hello! For those of you that interviewed with Tech on 10/13 and are still waiting to hear back...I called the office today and they told me that unfortunately they won’t know anything until we know. That the admissions staff sends out notifications and that until they do is when they find out as well. As of right now she is not aware that any decision notifications have been sent out yet.

Congrats!! Do you, or anyone, know if they will be sending out additional interview offers that correspond with later interview dates? Haven’t heard anything from them 🙁

Thank you!!! Yes, they stated on the email that they will be interviewing more on December and January. The interview will take 3 hours consisting of both group and individual interview. I got verified for this school on August, so I assume that they must have reviewed mine early. Don't worry there's more notifications to come especially by Dec.
