No worries. Just know your app and tell them your story. Good luck on the interview.

Hey guys! Does anybody who has interview already have any tips for the interview? Where there any questions that you did not expect, or anything you wish you would have specifically prepared for?

There are two interviews: one open file and closed file. So know your application well as the usual.

I wouldn't say any of the questions were unexpected. One of my interviewers was very conversational and the other was usual interview "getting to know you questions " also have questions you want to ask and know why you're applying to UTRGV.

Although I'm not an applicant here, I wanted to give you all with lower stats some hope! My friend is a Texas resident and received an II two weeks ago with a 3.0 and 507. They are a URM with limited research and decent EC's. Their interview was yesterday!

that's weird mine popped up like 3 days after my interview back in November. Maybe email the school or TMDSAS?

Actually, UTRGV now shows on my rank list so it took 3 days from interview.

Did anyone else never even get a video view? I'm fine with not having gotten an interview as I'd likely choose the school that gave me a prematch over here anyway, but it's frustrating to have worked crazy hard on a video and not have them even watch it.

I interviewed and didn’t have any views. I think it might be the way the video is linked thru the portal or something. Or maybe they use it post interview

From my understanding, having your video viewed has no real bearing on II. Mine was viewed multiple times and I haven’t received anything from them!
