Current OMS 1 here at shsu. Happy to answer any questions!

Hey! I interviewed at SHSU last month and was just so impressed by the school and it is definitely somewhere I could see myself at. I was wondering if you have any insight to the post interview acceptance rate? I know SHSU interviews quite a bit of applicants. Just curious what my chances are of getting an A after interviewing I guess

Sorry for the late reply, we had our first anatomy exams yesterday. I am not sure about hard statistics which I am sure you could find on the website, but from what I remember from my interview they planned to interview roughly 600 and took 162. So, you're looking at roughly 29% chance based on those numbers, but there is a lot that goes into how schools rank candidates pre and post interview which @Goro and @wysdoc have made posts.

Anyways, hopefully we will see you on campus in the fall and good luck on any other interviews you have!!

They'll probably accept at least 320 for a school with 160 seats.

Are you sure that you released your MCAT score to TMDSAS? That’s an extra step needed for the TMDSAS and AACOMAS applications.
If you have done that, yes email them & ask for a secondary

Is it too late to add SHSU to my school list?

No, you can add it any time before Nov 1.
If logging in to your TMDSAS portal doesn't allow you to add a school yourself, message your TMDSAS liaison in the portal and ask them to add it for you.

I felt that it was pretty low stress. The school was quite impressive and the interview day was quite fun even.

I felt that it was pretty low stress.

I am sure you cannot disclose any/all information, but this being my first interview - do you have any advice on prep?

You can look at the interview invite tracker post in The Republic of Texas thread to check!

Can anyone kind of explain the match process does it guarantee an acceptance, and if not what are the typical odds of matching given multiple interviews?

It does not guarantee an acceptance. Here is the link to information and a video about the match process. I’ve heard people say if you get three interviews you are likely to get an A… but at the same time, this is not always true. You can interview at one school and get accepted and you can interview at five schools and not get accepted. I don’t know of any definite information on those stats.

If anyone doesnt mind sharing, how was the student ambassador group interview/what was that like? IIRC they didn't have that last year?

 

[LCA]

Can anyone briefly describe the interview style for Shsu?

 

[Fortunate_]

Can anyone briefly describe the interview style for Shsu?

One traditional one on one, one scenario based, group activity, student ambassador group interview, and written questions. It is pretty much every interview style all in one day.
