Not this early since those holding acceptances don't really have to make a decision until April 30th.

However, some applicants on hold were able to see UT show up on the tool as an option to enroll before they received their paper acceptance.

 

[Deep_Luxe]

Any accepted applicants see the 'Choose Your Medical School' tool on AMCAS yet?

Not yet.

 

[FutureSurgical]

FWIW, I was able to see the Choose Your Medical School tool at about noon today (at work though. Didn't get to see it until then after not seeing it earlier this morning.)

I found looking at the questions people posted for UTHSC on sdn was very helpful. Good luck! Under interview feedback

For those who have been accepted, how many days after the survey email was sent out (or after they told you they’d get back to you) did you receive the letter in the mail?

Curious to know as well! This wait feels like FOREVER.

 

[CH47]

Anybody else receive an on hold letter?

 

[premed199813]

Anybody else receive an on hold letter?

I did! It seems like those on hold will most likely hear back with an update sometime in late April/ early May regarding their status, which will be acceptance or waitlist.

Where did you hear this? Will those on hold not hear any time before then if they discuss our applications at earlier meetings?

 

[premed199813]

I emailed Mr Strother. In almost all cases, they will not come to a final decision regarding those on hold until around April.

Does anyone know if they want our titers to be quatitative? They don’t specify on their immunization requirements

 

[shadow12345]

Anybody who interviewed the week of feb 10 hear back yet?

Only a couple of days, but it might be longer for those that don’t live in Memphis

 

[sammaydaymalone]

Anybody know how much longer interviews will be sent out? I got a secondary but am OOS and just wondering what to expect.

Does anybody know a number to call for admissions office? Every time I've attempted to call the one on their website (901-448-5559) it tells me "the person at this extension is unavailable to take your call" but I never entered an extension number, so just not sure its the right one...

I had this problem for a while a couple of months ago, so I ended up just walking in to their office since I live in Memphis. So you're not the only one with that issue lol

i think they send invites until march, but schedule them through April.

@Medicineandlife idk if you're still lurking on SDN, but can you shed light on second look? Was it useful?

 

[FutureSurgical]

I've talked to current students and they recommend waiting until second look; UTHSC is still gauging how our class is going to shape up until April

 

[iSick]

@Medicineandlife idk if you're still lurking on SDN, but can you shed light on second look? Was it useful?

When is second look?

 

[futuremediguess]

i've posted on here before, but secondary submitted 10/1, and IS... but worried for some reason I won't get an interview. Is there a chance of that?

You'll get an II if you get a secondary. UT is just slower than other schools, and they are scheduling interviews through April 22nd this year. You're not alone though, I've been complete since 9/20 and IS, also. Just gotta be patient and find something to take your mind off of it or else you'll drive yourself crazy.

 

[FutureSurgical]

When is second look?

April 17th and 18th. We're supposed to get an email from Diane sometime soon

Did you get a school code? I've started on the 3rd party website but stopped since they give an institution code. Don't want to duplicate work lol. But to answer your question, I think they may want to have results so they know you have immunity. Otherwise they provide boosters/titers for free

 

[forever_young14]

What state do you live in?

TN, about an hour away from Memphis

Haven’t gotten a school code. Will they email the code to us at some point? I got some titers done, but my PCP got the qualitative ones. I heard some schools require quantitative instead qualitative titers so I wanted to be sure.

Yes be patient! Y'all will definitely get invited to interview if you received a secondary. They don't send them unless they are going to interview you

[Chickenluv27]

[Chickenluv27]

Are You IS?

Yes!

 

[SurgeMD]

Awesome! I hope it goes well. And all us still waiting here on sdn get an invite/acceptance and we can all start together in the fall 😉

Know your app, know yourself, and think positive. Be prepared for an ethical question or two since they dont do MMI. And relax as much as possible.
