All further interviews are online, I know that much!
Okay so I take this to mean that II's are still going out and if I haven't heard yet don't lose hope?
I think so, on Friday they said they want to support students who have been scheduled to interview already “or will be scheduled to interview” so it seems there are still II going out! There may just be some delay so be patient and wait it out - they’re also having to reschedule next weeks interviews. This is a giant hiccup in everybody’s plans unfortunately, and I believe they’re taking their time to make sure we all still get a fair chance! Keep your chin up 🙂
Thanks for the reply! I just got an email that basically said “you will still get your interview, we will send more info when we figure this out.”
I just got that email also! Pretty relieved.
It sounds like we will definitely be interviewed so I think there is hope. The email I got said "You will receive a separate e-mail to let you know the date, time and with whom you are scheduled to interview; notifications will be e-mailed as quickly as possible," which I took to mean don't worry, we will schedule you, just don't know exactly when.
This is my interpretation as well. I found the email to be very reassuring that they still have a plan for us despite the whole world decending into chaos.
Same, I feel as good as possible given the situation.
Now I am just scrambling to find a spot in my apartment with decent lighting so I don't look like a Disney villain in my video chat.
When did you interview?
In the FB group, there are 98 people who’ve joined. That doesn’t mean they’ve chosen to go here nor does it account for all acceptances given. That’s as close as I can get to how many people may be accepted.
I received my II on 3/11 and have not received a rescheduling email but was told they were planning to figure out dates last week.
Okay, I got my invite 3/2 and was told to wait for rescheduling so just seeing if I'd missed an email or if they seem to still be working on it!
Hopefully we hear back soon!
Memphis just had a shelter in place warning issued by the mayor that started on Tuesday, and UTHSC is still adjusting to everything I think. Tbh I think they were waiting for the governor to make a statement before the mayor finally took things into his own hands. I can't say exactly what's going on at the med school, but in my department we finally just closed down to essential staff as of yesterday. That's about what I know, as it's been a bit of a mess all over the University, but I would just say give it a little time. I don't envy being in any of their positions right now lol
Same here!
I did as well.
Do you still have 2 separate interviews?
I just have one now!
Just one!
From what I gathered (it was the first question people asked at my interview,) that it isn’t the greatest thing in the world for a traditional GPA system to be in place at medical school. However, none of the students found it to be ultra competitive amongst your peers. If everyone does well enough to get an A, then everyone gets an A. The school makes a shared drive for each class and people publish their study guides for tests when they make them. If you miss a lecture, then people are more than willing to share their notes from said lecture. I think the main point is class grades aren’t curved. They’re not trying to make you fail out
I'd love some tips please!
I got the follow-up email last week confirming my interview is scheduled, but haven't gotten the email with further details yet. ☹️
Same for me
