Per their website, they won't start sending them out until August 18th!

How's the school? Hows Memphis? I am tempted to apply, but I am leary of living in Memphis

Hey! About to start M2 yearr next week and it's kind of crazy how fast M1 year went by! Overall, I really like it! The grading system is A-F, so that and this being Memphis made me a bit weary of it, but it genuinely is a great place to be. As long as you're smart and not going to fill up gas at like 2 AM in the morning (like in any other big city), Memphis is pretty great! Great undergrad campus, TONS of food, and lots of good hiking/music stuff to do here. M1 year is def busy, but you will definitely have time outside to just have fun! Overall, I really like it! And the new dean really is making some awesome changes to improve the school and make research a more prominent focus.

I highly doubt that they will be worried about your MCAT and gpa stats. Your MCAT score is amazing and your gpa isnt even bad.

Do you have any other interviews? I have a friend who interviewed here last year in March and was accepted so we may be waiting for a while

UTHS is notoriously late in the cycle. I just submitted secondaries to all my other schools this week, so no interviews yet. Only applied to 8 schools. Univ Arkansas Medical School is also late in the cycle, so I'll be waiting for a bit.

OOS. Since UTN operates a bit slow it might be a while as an OOS student to be looked at.

Their website said they send secondaries from August-January.

IS, secondary received!

IS secondary received and submitted this morning.
 
Stupid question, but did y'all submit the secondary form with the coursework information as one pdf or as two pdfs?
 
@microbio2020 I submitted two PDFs. Also did you guys put anything for the optional "additional comments" question? I'm not sure if a diversity essay is appropriate here or if I should leave it blank.
 
Thanks @anesdeezsia! I'm not planning on putting anything for it. I feel like at this point they are pretty interested in us, and if they wanted us to write secondary essays they'd have asked. Maybe if you have an important update like a pub or something it might warrant it.

Got my primary received notice 8/9 from UTHS. Did not get a secondary in this first round. Should I be worried? Did anyone get a secondary that submitted/completed their primary in August? From the posts above it looks like everyone who has received a secondary in this round had their primary submitted by the end of July.

I received receipt of primary on August 1st and also haven’t heard anything.
 
I was verified in June and recieved the primary recieved email July 3 and still haven't heard anything. Anyone else in the same boat? Will I be notified if they decide not to send me a secondary?

It kind of seems like they're coming out in batches. I wonder when/if it would be okay to call or something just so I know if I should keep waiting for it or not.
 
Pretty sure it is in batches! I’m IS from Memphis and feel fairly confident about my app/fit with the school, under review 7/2 and haven’t received one either.

I talked to a friend who just started there this year and she received hers in the first half of September but not the first day they were out!
