Is it too late to submit a secondary to Foster? Couldn't submit earlier due to personal reasons?

Did it go okay for you?Okay, so TTUHSC is down due to a IT Hack outage, and I am scheduled to interview in the morning and have heard nothing back from calling or email, nor can we login to applicant portals. Anyone know of how they are handling the situation?
I believe that outage affected Lubbock, not El PasoOkay, so TTUHSC is down due to a IT Hack outage, and I am scheduled to interview in the morning and have heard nothing back from calling or email, nor can we login to applicant portals. Anyone know of how they are handling the situation?

It seems to be both. The El Paso website is not accessible.I believe that outage affected Lubbock, not El Paso
Ok thanks- they had not sent out an alert like Lubbock didIt seems to be both. The El Paso website is not accessible.

IT systems still down at TTUHSC.
Today they added a link where you can see any new info IT Outage Updates
So far, all the answers to the FAQs at this site are "we don't know at this time"
I suspect any interviews this week will be rescheduled.

anyone who interviewed already, did they ask any behavioral questions like 'tell me a time when ... '?Nothing out of left field. Pretty normal MMI. The interview day itself is pretty bad though imo. They just show you videos for three hours. They could have just sent that in an email instead of forcing me to take a whole say off from my other responsibilities!!

Cant give specifics but nothing I was asked was too crazy, that being said a lot of what I prepped for was not even closed to being asked.anyone who interviewed already, did they ask any behavioral questions like 'tell me a time when ... '?

Yeah I just want to remind people that most interviews make us sign online agreements where we agree to keep stuff confidential. This makes it more fair -- how would it be fair for us to tell you what questions were asked when we had to go in with limited knowledge? just prep what you think is best and go in confident knowing that they liked you enough to give you an II
Anyone ready to place bets on when we’re expecting first round of prematches to go out?
I’m thinking the 17th but fairly certain I’m not getting one lol

One more thing, if the email system is still down, you will not expect any emails coming. So...

I’m not being neurotic lol but I’d rather keep my
Expectations low for a prematch than high and be disappointed. Also I know I had a mediocre/sub par interview so while I think I’ll match, not holding out for prematch lol
I don’t think the email system will be down till prematch offer week so my bets are still
On the 17th [emoji846]
Their IT system is still locked downHas anyone not been able to access their secondary application ? Im just making sure im not the only one. I havent submitted so..
edited to supply new information:
I was able to learn that due to the system-wide shutdown they are not able to accept secondary applications right now. If you are still trying to submit one, hold on to it.
All current applicants should have received an email from Foster SOM about the IT issue.
Make note of the email address on that notification email : it should be a temporary "gmail" address which you will need to use until the Tech computer systems are functional again.

I signed up for an interview next week right before they started having issues with their system. I never got any confirmation email regarding the interview and I can't access the portal. Anything I should do? I'm really just tryna double check if I properly signed up for my interview day and when the orientation is gonna be.

Texas Tech Foster SOM Temporary Email address during IT System lockdown
I might as well post this up here instead of sending DMs to you all.
They say "they will only reply to current applicants" who contact them here.
Temporary email address is [email protected]
General place to look for updates is their Instagram account @tthealthelpaso

Do you think they’ll still send prematches next week with this temporary email or is prematch first wave probably delayed?
I know you won’t have the answer but I’m just curious for your thoughts
I don’t know the answer- they are dealing with an unusual situation for sure!Do you think they’ll still send prematches next week with this temporary email or is prematch first wave probably delayed?

October 15th is a recommended date but not a required date. Different schools have come out at different later dates over the past few years.

I would choose to finish remaining interviews and calm down and wait.

For those interviewing Tuesday, when will we receive a link for the interview?
Check your emails and spam mails a couple of times a day.For those interviewing Tuesday, when will we receive a link for the interview?
Don’t forget that El Paso is in Mountain Time zone - One hour earlier than the rest of Texas.
From my II they sent emails that day priorFor those interviewing Tuesday, when will we receive a link for the interview?

IT Systems / Admissions portal is back in operation at Foster SOM

1. If you were ready to turn in a Secondary you can try it now
2. (editorial comment 🙄) Why does TTU have such a multiplicity of IG accounts??
3. The temporary email address, in case you still have portal problems, is [email protected]
