Also agree with @purkinjekitty & @Rite1234, the interview was low-stress and they made it so much fun! Had a great time meeting new people 🙂
Y"all, are all interviews in person this year, or did you get a choice of in-person -vs -remote? ThanksAlso agree with @purkinjekitty & @Rite1234, the interview was low-stress and they made it so much fun! Had a great time meeting new people 🙂
There’s a hotel literally right next door that’s a bit pricey that some people opted to pay for since it was walking distance. There was a bunch of parking on campus if you choose to do another hotel.I opted to wait and interview on August 8th! can anyone recommend a good nearby hotel and how the parking situation was for those that have already interviewed?
Yes, forgot to mention this as well.Also their class size will be 162 this year with no more plans to increase!
Congrats!! The school and area in general is gorgeous.IS II just now. Excited to check this school out in person! LM 64 (low cGPA, high sGPA)
Happy to hear this!! I am interviewing soon. Just curious, did they mention if lectures are mandatory?Interview left a VERY good impression of this school. You can tell they worked hard to make it flow well and be as welcoming as possible for everyone. The med students all seemed very happy with the school too.
Overall very impressed. (The food was also great.)
Happy to answer any questions for anyone interviewing in the future. (just no asking any specific questions they asked us).
They are for the first semesterHappy to hear this!! I am interviewing soon. Just curious, did they mention if lectures are mandatory?
Current OMS-1 here, our class size is 162. They said in orientation that they plan to keep it around this number for all future classes.Any info on the class size for this upcoming year?
Hopefully many more!! Congratulations 🎊II!!! my first one this season so I'm super happy, LM 68
Two weeks is plenty of time. Make sure to review information about the school beforehand (mission, focus, etc...), otherwise prepare like you would for any other interview and be honest. Their interview process wasn't too intensive, so try to relax and enjoy the experience. Congratulations on your first II, and I hope you get many more!Does anyone have any insight regarding how long we should give ourselves to prepare? There’s an option 2 weeks away and then a month away- don’t know which I should choose. (This is my first cycle applying so I’m not sure when people normally choose to do their interviews regarding how much time to prepare)
They believe you have the potential to be apart of their 2024 class. It’s hard to say what will go into the admissions committee’s decision after the interview, but you do have the stats needed if they invited you!Interview coming up soon. I had a question about closed file interviews. Im sure someone at the school screened our applications to decide to send out an Interview invite. So, is it just the interviewer that doesn't have access to your application?
I guess my question is, how likely is it to do great in this type of Interview but get a post Interview R due any of the stats in the application?
Honestly very relaxing. I wish I stressed less hahaHave my interview this Friday, anyone have some general tips that you wished you knew before going in? (I’ve done school specific prep as well as check out feedback interview for this school on SDN)
That’s what I’ve heard! I guess I just need to start believing it hahahaHonestly very relaxing. I wish I stressed less haha
They truly want you! I felt the interview day really is about them selling the school to you.That’s what I’ve heard! I guess I just need to start believing it hahaha
To everyone that has already interviewed:
1. Is there a lot of outdoor walking? Texas heat been different this year so want to be prepared
2. Did yall get a chance to ask questions throughout the day?
interviewing tomorrow, wanted to brush up on current healthcare events and was wondering if anyone had any good resources for this?? TIA
You're gonna kill it!IS II !! first II ever and i'm a reapplicant, so i'm just super pumped 🙂
Congrats! You'll love the interview day they have. They really went above and beyond to make it super enjoyable and stress free. Best of luck!IS II !! first II ever and i'm a reapplicant, so i'm just super pumped 🙂
I didntdid anyone send thank you letters after interviewing
Yes I diddid anyone send thank you letters after interviewing
I'm an OMS1 at SHSU currently (in like week 2 of classes), interviewed around the same day last year, which is insane to me. Advice based on how my interview was is whatever your response is to the questions, stand firm on it, a.k.a be confident. Try to compare the question to something similar you went through in the past, and relate it back to the question, it will make your response more genuine. Say "that's a good question, let me think about that for a moment" if you don't have an immediate response instead of saying "um" everywhere throughout your response.
The group activity is mainly focusing on how you work with others as a team and you don't want to steal the whole show and be controlling. Just have fun!
Good luck! What a crazy year it has been for me, and I hope you can say the same for yourselves in a year from now
It's all worth it![]()
I have done the interview and I got this same email. I raced here to see if anyone else had as well haha What does it mean?Just received an email stating the admissions committee has completed its review of my application (post interview). Anyone else who has already done their interview receive this just now? I interviewed 07/21/23

Hopefully i can redeem myself after last year 🙏.... i interviewed 1/21/23 so it feels like a second chance i guess ?II , In- state received! Submitted 8/14.
LM 64
TMDSAS reapp, and interviewing again for this school 🙂
They had been screening out lot of students aiming for high stats until this year to make themselves look good to the state. Now that they have state funding, I am guessing they are doing more holistic reviews.Hopefully i can redeem myself after last year 🙏.... i interviewed 1/21/23 so it feels like a second chance i guess ?
