2018-2019 Texas Tech University - Lubbock

[zaitoun]

So I noticed that on MSAR the bottom 10% of matriculants have a 501 MCAT here and I have a low MCAT too, so I was wondering what is it that sets the applicants apart from everyone else and gets them an acceptance other than a high GPA?

ECs, great essays, connections/recommendations from alumnis or people affiliated with the institution.

I have the same concern. I have a lizzy score of 65, submitted my 2nd mid-june, and I haven't received an II... do you think I have a chance to interview at TTU?

I'm in the same boat. OOS applicant. I'm quite sure my scores don't blow anyone's hair back, but hoping my ECs and essays help my cause!

 

[luxanilapotter]

II today! Super excited

Same, tons of ethics questions in my first

 

[21whoswho21]

For those of you who took the survey after the interview, the first question was from very dissatisfied to very satisfied or the other way around? Sorry, I took the survey early in the morning and can’t remember if I read it correctly.

 

[Lomology]

II just now. IS w/ LizzyM 70 submitted secondary early July

 

[elcapitan]

My first interviewer grilled me hard, second was chill/conversational

Did they grill you about anything in particular or was it just like a stress interview where you get pushback on everything?

 

[Gemmaline]

What did most people wear to the pre-interview dinner?

 

[21whoswho21]

For those who interviewed on 8/17, has the school been listed on your TMDSAS school rank preference?

My final letter was submitted 8/27 and verified by tmdsas same day, yet the portal for Lubbock says incomplete. Should I call to see if there’s a problem or has anyones portal taken longer than a week to update?
