Not necessarily contradictory... it’s hard to objectively say one interview was better than another. I can see the interview being the thing that breaks you at a competitive school, but probably not what makes you
I think you’re spot on! Though also important to note that many interviewers don’t interact with the committee... student interviewers, random physicians they’ve pulled in from the committee, adjunct Faculty etc often just send their opinion of you via a portal, then go about their business as usual. If you’re interviewing with dean of admissions... that’s another ball game!
Are they still match heavy? Noticed that quite a few prematches went out Nov. 15th.
From what I've read here they are still super match heavy, even more so than past years. I think someone posted earlier that someone in the admissions office said they didn't even send 100 out. Don't quote me on that, thats just what I remember
Congrats!!! What date were you given?
Was in the same boat but just got an II today! LizzyM ~75, complete July.
Assuming the weight(s) of those components in UT schools is the same as or close to those average weights. Dunno if true or not.
I was in the same boat last year, although I interviewed late November. OOS also. Got an email right after the match saying I was on the waitlist, and then didn’t get in. Anyone who has interviewed will be put on the waitlist if they don’t match, or in our case, get accepted via rolling admission. So just hang tight and hope they reach out before the match in February, otherwise it’s the waitlist game. Either way, you’re not out of it. Best of luck! I got in on second go around, so keep at it!
took me around 2-3 weeks lol
I called them and they said about the first week in January. They said to call back in January for the exact date. So I would just give them a call in a couple weeks.
Thanks for doin that! The student housing sounds like such an incredible deal. Cheap, safe, closeish to campus. Does anyone happen to know how roommates work? Like if we apply for a 2-person but don't have anyone to go in with, will they match us up?
They won’t match you up, but on the class FB page they’ll post a roommate interest sheet and you can find someone pretty easily from there!
Wondering the same thing. I think they still have a couple dates left.
Looks like general staff for the UTHealth system is off until Jan 2, so I wouldn't expect anything until then. There are two (?) interview dates in Jan left I think.
Will there be anymore interviews in January. Patientlywaiting
Thanks so much for the awesome response! Hoping to snag one of these.
I would say so, yes. At the end of my interview they said we were welcome to send updates or letters or intent.
I scheduled one separately
