2017-2018 Texas Tech University - Lubbock

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Nice!! Did you tick any of the boxes, eg. having West Texas ties or anything? Everything was completed for me 6/21 :/
Thanks! I did not check the box for West Texas ties or indicate that I was interested in FMAT. I was, however, part of the Medical Sciences program at UNTHSC which I indicated as one that prepared me for medical school. I'm sure you'll get an II soon! It's still pretty early in the cycle.

Aye!!! Congrats to you!!!
Thanks!

Congrats!!! Did you get an email or did it come up on the portal?
Thank you! The invite was sent through email.
 
Congrats @FoodisGood163! I just graduated from UNTHSC Med Sci too.... we probably know each other but are veiled behind SDN's anonymity.
 
This is my first time using SDN - before I was just one of those hundreds of lurking pre-meds! Anyway, I just got my first II from Lubbock! I was surprised they were a lot quicker than I thought they would be. Does anyone else have their interview on August 18th?

When did you receive it? Are you in state?

also would like to know when you were complete and secondary was submitted?

I got the II on 7/3. I am in state. I submitted the secondary app on 6/25. I had my primary app submitted 5/31 and transmitted 6/16. It was a quick turnaround.

Congrats! What are your stats? High/low LizzyM? Orm/Urm?

Same boat here, and they were very nice about it! Most August dates afterwards are filled though at this point.

Yeah, just got off the phone and the woman I spoke to was really nice! Rescheduled for September.
 
3rd time reapp in texas. GOT A II HERE FOR THE FIRST TIME
Congrats! At what time today did you receive it? I'm trying to see if they are still rolling them out today, or if they sent them out in one batch.
 
Oh dang. 10 days is a pretty short notice. Good luck!


When was everything in for you? Were you also only offered 8/4 for interview?
Secondary was submitted a couple of days after I received the invite
 
If anyone has ever interviewed here before, what was the day like? Are the interviews pretty laid back?
 
To those with OOS II's - do you have Texas ties, and how extensive?
OOS, got my interview invite last week. I put that my grandpa received a master's degree from Tech, and my Dad's family lived in Lubbock for 6-7 years during his childhood. No other ties besides that.
 
Question about the secondary

1) For areas of interest I have several specialties in mind (some I dont have too much to back up), would it be worth it to list in "other'?

2) For the section with academic bumps, if we have several B's scattered here and there without much of an explanation, would it still be worth addressing or trying to explain and say you later learned better study habits/etc?

1) I would put it, couldn't hurt
2) IMO B's aren't worth mentioning
 
II today. Submitted secondary late June. IS, ORM
 
You have good stats.. any other II for you?
Thanks! I have four so far. UTMB, UTSA, UTH, and TTlubbock. If you click the MD apps link on my sig you can see where I'm applying and everything.
 
My application has been complete for almost 10 weeks now, no II. I'm a reapplicant with significantly improved stats. Interviewed here late in the EY2016 cycle (didn't finish my app until september) and was waitlisted. I was hoping my much earlier submittal would put me on track to be invited around this time, but I guess not :/

If anybody has any questions about what their interview day is like, I'd be more than happy to answer! Tech is the only school that interviewed me the last time I applied so I won't have much to compare it to, though.

Yeah I haven't gotten an interview from any Texas school. :/

Breathe. Still early in the app process.

I'm trying. It's just really hard seeing all these people already have an interview at EVERY Texas school and then knowing I have 0 is very unsettling. Not saying I'm entitled to anything, but it's just disheartening.

Your stats are decent but you have to remember they turned their apps in 6-8 weeks before you did. Gotta give time for the schools to read your apps.
 
For anyone who has had an interview: What was it like?/What kind of questions did they ask? Thanks!
