I am not a student FYI but most students live either downtown in an apartment or mud island/harbor town area in my experience
This is helpful. Thanks for the info!
I went to Rhodes College which is in Memphis and midtown is a great place to live. I live in Cooper-Young and it’s a great environment. Some kids I know live on mud island which they say feels safe but the only downside is it’s a little far from food/grocery. I agree East Memphis is safe! But I would always recommend midtown over anything else just because it’s fun
Also, I know some UTHSC med students live in Crosstown Concourse because UT had a discount with them for apartment prices. I’m not sure if that’s still available. Crosstown is a little closer to downtown than most places in “midtown”.I went to Rhodes College which is in Memphis and midtown is a great place to live.

Same.
I’m honestly not completely sure, but I would guess that student families would base their living decisions off of school districts. My boyfriend has spent his whole life here and he says that the school districts out East are better than those closer to downtown. If you’re going private school then I guess that wouldn’t really affect your decision. There are families where I live in Cooper-Young. I knew a family that used to live on mud island and they liked it, I also know of families that live out East. I think you would just have to feel the area out and decide what works best for you
Midtown is great! I tried to live there during college but houses kept getting snagged lol. Definitely avoid anything south of Park near midtown but good area overall. Also agree about mud island- there’s cordelias for food and that’s it!I went to Rhodes College which is in Memphis and midtown is a great place to live.

Disagree. It actually means they're taking COVID into account with regards to application disruptions and such... or maybe they're just late idk. Either way, I'm fine with it
Nope. They’re always this late lol.
I thought last year II's started going on October 1st?
Yes give or take a week or two. Yall just wait for admissions decisions lol. Friend interviewed in Nov/Dec, decision in like April. He was waitlisted and got the call to go to class a week before it started.
When I interned at St. Jude, UTHSC admissions told us a story just like this lmao
In my experience, this isn't the exception, its the rule lol. I only know 1 friend who got interviewed and accepted pretty quickly. To be fair he was the smartest guy I've known.
+3 No idea
Congrats, do you mind my asking what were your stats, completion date, and whether you were invited by email or through phone?
LM 75, I did my secondary the first day they sent it (don't remember when), and I was invited via email! sending positive thoughts your way
Great! Thanks so much, we have about similar stats (LM = 72) and I also completed the first day so hopefully, I will hear something soon. Good luck with your interview!LM 75, I did my secondary the first day they sent it (don't remember when), and I was invited via email! sending positive thoughts your way
I would email them, it looks like everyone shouldve gotten a secondary this year.
I received a secondary and completed it, but there was some wording on the Selection Factors page. “The average medical college admissions test [MCAT] score for classes recently admitted to the College of Medicine has been a total of 511 with sub scores of 125 or better in each area”. This makes me a little fearful that my 124 CARS will be screened out post-secondary.
Invite Thursday, first available day was Monday
My options were Monday through Wednesday for this week or next week
That’s just the avg tho, i would email
They gave you the option of 4-ish different days in the next two weeks following your invite email
I sent an email last week and they never got back to me
You may want to keep in touch with them about if they have gotten your scores yet. I emailed today asking if my scores were in my file yet (they’re already in my AMCAS application) and they said that they were NOT in their system yet. They told me to wait another week and reach out again to see if my scores had made it into “Weadmit” yet.
A little late but they were all so nice, both the interviewers and the facilitators. Best interview experience I've had so far.
I just got the email with the link
