7/4For anyone with an II, would you mind sharing your completion date?
6/21For anyone with an II, would you mind sharing your completion date?
It is a happy moment since it is very hard to get an OOS invite for such a small pool and a mission oriented school. Focus on doing well in MMI since that is the hard part..makes it all the more anxiety inducing! haha
II, complete 6/22 !!
Describe any employment, family or other obligations that impacted your education that are NOT already indicated in your TMDSAS application. (750 characters, optional)
I think what they are getting at in this question:For this prompt, is this supposed to be the adversity essay? It seems to be so due to the optional nature. If not, could I alternatively discuss a positive impact that guided my decision to pursue a MPH?
For Class of 2026 we had 270 interviews for 60 spots. Might have more interviews this year, but the spots will still be set at 60!II today!

Do as much as you can in practicing MMI. There is no one on one here as far as I know and if you are not good at MMI, it is hard to get through.Any advice for interview day?
20 seconds after typing this I recieved my secondary! haha!Hi all! Has anyone who transmitted 7/28 or after recieved a secondary?
In addition to what Numpostrophe said, I'm fairly certain that patient and community health education also count (i.e you were on a campaign to spread awareness about flu vaccinations)For the section “I have prior experience in community or public health”, what kinds of experiences would fit the category?
Strictly MMI! They won't ask anything about your applicationIs the interview at UH strictly MMI? or will they also ask questions about our application and our pre-med journey?
Disclaimer: I'm also an applicant this cycle so everything that I say is based on my own research into UHCOMIs U of H COM open to accepting ORM? I remember something about the school that made it selective with applicants. maybe it chose majority female? does anyone know who should avoid applying here under specific conditions?

Is this type of interview (strictly MMI) only done at UH or does this happen at other schools as well? I feel like this is strange as we wouldn't get the opportunity to elaborate on our experiences and our journey.Strictly MMI! They won't ask anything about your application
UTMB also has MMI but I believe there is one question where they let you sell yourself.Is this type of interview (strictly MMI) only done at UH or does this happen at other schools as well?

one of their MMI stations could be composed of traditional questions?Is this type of interview (strictly MMI) only done at UH or does this happen at other schools as well? I feel like this is strange as we wouldn't get the opportunity to elaborate on our experiences and our journey.
There are several TX schools using this.Is this type of interview (strictly MMI) only done at UH or does this happen at other schools as well? I feel like this is strange as we wouldn't get the opportunity to elaborate on our experiences and our journey.
I think the best advice I can give is not to over prepare. I was one that wasn’t about that life of going through hundreds of MMI scenarios beforehand or thinking up every possible answer to the normal questions. I would say knowing your primary and secondary inside and out will give you great personalized tools to answer most questions based on experiences you’ve already had. Also, knowing about the school (not just Fertitta) and any specific programs or curriculum things that interest you there can make you stand out as someone interested in a program.Any advice for interview day?
Is that the last Texas school or are you waiting on more?II today! Complete 6/22.
God tier applicant right here good luck on the interview !!II today! Complete 6/22.
complete the same day but no interview :/ hoping to claim this energy later in the cycle !Interview invite for me today too. Complete July 26th. Interview 8-18. I was waitlisted last year, and after talking to ADCOMs this summer feeling pretty sure this is my year! My friend and I are both reapplicants and both in the same Master's program at UH that the ADCOMs directed us to....and we're interviewing on the same day
I was complete a week earlier, do y'all think it's chronological?Interview invite for me today too. Complete July 26th. Interview 8-18.

My friend and I are both reapplicants and both in the same Master's program at UH that the ADCOMs directed us to....and we're interviewing on the same day
according to last years thread, II are not not necessarily sent out chronologicallyI was complete a week earlier, do y'all think it's chronological?
what advice did adcoms give you that you are willing to share?Interview invite for me today too. Complete July 26th. Interview 8-18.

"Some people are more equal than others" if someone completed on 7/26 and got an invite on 8/11 they are on a different path. They know the adcoms and adcoms know them!I was complete a week earlier, do y'all think it's chronological?
In what order are II sent out if it's not chronological? Does this mean it really doesn't matter when you submit?according to last years thread, II are not not necessarily sent out chronologically
for example if they get 50 applications the same day, they may invite the ones with higher grades first or the ones with closer ties to Houston first.In what order are II sent out if it's not chronological? Does this mean it really doesn't matter when you submit?
Is that the last Texas school or are you waiting on more?
Thank you!!God tier applicant right here good luck on the interview !!
Baylor and UTSW - you either need to meet their numbers or institutional needs to get early invites or else it will be a bit later. A&M will get to you soon.I wish that was all of them haha! No love from A&M, UTSW or Baylor yet. I'm a non-trad, though, so definitely wasn't expecting anything form the latter two. Honestly, wasn't expecting any of this.

I was waitlisted, and this matters for some schools. Some TX schools waitlist people as soft rejection, others (like UH) only waitlist people they're really serious about."Some people are more equal than others" if someone completed on 7/26 and got an invite on 8/11 they are on a different path.

The best direct advice I've gotten was to be myself and not overthink it. You really can't pre-write answers to MMI- they can tell that you've done that. Also, my life and application reflect my commitment to Houston, primary care, and learning about the social determinants of health. UH really looks at people holistically, so no one piece is more important than the other, outside of an interest in primary care. They are screening applicants more than they did last year.what advice did adcoms give you that you are willing to share?
I know another student who waited until last moment for them to clear the waitlist and then enrolled at another private MD school. It was very disappointing that UH never released their waitlist in June even after they started their early orientation.I was waitlisted, and this matters for some schools.

Thanks!! Yeah, I am the first interview day I only want to go to UH, so I'll just keep building my application and reapplying. I recognize this is terrible advice for other people, but that's my plan.I know another student who waited until last moment for them to clear the waitlist and then enrolled at another private MD school.

A&M is also very kind to reapplicants. Not so sure about other Texas schools. Good that UH is helping reapplicants. It looks like you are almost in the first batch of interviewees?
Good luck!
