Just psuedoreceived a secondary. They emailed and said they are reviewing my primary and everyone with a verified AMCAS application gets a secondary (and it seemed like it should’ve been sent) but haven’t received it yet.

Update: received a few minutes later
 
Secondary! Do we know if they send secondaries to everyone IS? This school is a FAR reach for me, but I have a few friends/peers who got in with 500-504s. Hoping I might get lucky because I really believe I have strong ECs/PS.

*fingers crossed*

In the email, they state “invitations will be emailed to all UTHSC COM Applicants with a verified AMCAS application.” The best part is there is no secondary fee

Does anyone know whether interviews are going to be fully in-person or virtual? From the AAMC interview document, it almost looks like there won't be a virtual option, but I was wondering if anyone has contacted them and gotten confirmation of the format.

any update on your secondary?
 
Just a headsup everyone, I think UT doesn’t interview until mid October usual. At least that is what it seems like based off things Ive read. So I doubt we’ll get II’s until September at the earliest.

I would probably just email admissions, maybe they will give you an extension.

IS complete 7/18. Looking on previous years, hopefully we may begin to hear back in the next month or so.
For the 2021/2022 cycle, the first reported II was October 18th, and for the 2020/2021 cycle, the first one was reported October 15th.

Hi all! I was accepted to UTHSC this past cycle (2021-2022) and am deferring a year. Feel free to ask me any questions about the application process or about Memphis, since I am also a native. I hope to see y'all at UT in Fall 2023!

Hii! I was wondering if anyone has heard anything post-secondary submission? I know last year they sent out an email in September from last years SDN's saying they will be inviting for interviews soon, but I have not heard anything yet this cycle.
 
Submitted secondary late July and haven’t heard anything about an interview
