I’m prewriting just in case and waiting for my app to be verified, but how awful would it be if I’m not close to 500 words for the essays? I always hear that you shouldn’t be too flowery and if you can say it with fewer words, the better. Is there a minimum number of words we should enter? Thanks for the help!

75% is a good baseline minimum

That’s honestly very high, I don’t think you need to shoot for that. These are a maximum word count, and I just think they want to give you space if you have a ton of genuine insight, but avoid repeating yourself or using fluff. I wouldn’t aim for a specific percentage, but just say as much as you possibly can, review/revise it, and then move on.

Praying I can get a II from there. I feel like I’m a good fit especially since I’ve lived in the area my whole life, but we’ll see.

The interview is in person, correct? Also, have the released how many students they plan on interviewing this year or nah?

CONGRATS!! I wonder what order they're going in as someone who submitted 8/9 also got an II.

My guess is that they're putting people with ties to East Texas at the top of their review pile, but I have no idea if all the people getting interviews have ties to East Texas so its just speculation :unsure:

I have ties to East Texas, and it seems plausible that is who they’re prioritizing initially

Does anyone know what their class size is going to be?

Congrats!!

I lived in ETX for 2 years, and Tyler is just 2 hours away from me. I'm a little bit obsessed with the organization of the program: a strong focus on preventative health (nutrition, etc.), dedicated time for both STEPs, small class size...I'm really hoping for a little love for this North Texas native.

I imagine by now most schools should surely have my application hung high above every adcom member’s desk as an example of who not to accept.

@wysdoc do you think it is a bad idea to schedule an interview almost 2 months in advance? I scheduled for October 15th since it's on a Saturday and it's very hard for me to get time off of work on the other 2 dates they had available in September.

Hey make it work for you. This one being in person requires more planning.

The real issue is that you are picking a date that makes you ineligible for first prematches that are announced on October 15th.

TBH, even interviewing shortly before pre-match day doesn't assure that they will have discussed your interview day by October 15th.
I think TX applicants put way too much pressure on themselves about a pre-match offer.
