What do people at TTUHSC call it as a shorthand when they talk about it in person? Saying TTUHSC in full feels too long.

Depends on the context, if you're in Lubbock you call it "the HSC" if not you'd call it "Tech".

Dang these LMs have all been super high. I’m thinking there probably is a shot for me even though I submitted this school’s secondary in May, I’m just guessing I’m not one of their tippy top applicants

I think they are taking a page from some of the bigger name schools and interviewing higher LMs early. Usually, they used to spread them out and go by application date. Its also possible the high LMs sent their essays later to Lubbock and that might have changed this cycle?

I’m glad to hear that. I know an II can come at any time, but seeing SO many II dates when I applied pretty early AND very very high LMs was kind of scary to see lol

I wrote an entire post about their numbers but turned out it is El Paso stats (65 for applicants, 70.6 for interviewees and 68 for admittees in 2023). I cant find Lubbock stats. I assume they are close.

They can interview and admit all the 80+s they want but those get admitted elsewhere too (baylor, UTSW etc) and will choose them. So they admit more people to compensate. I know someone from recent cycle who got admitted on match day with a 65.

Getting an interview is very important - when in the cycle is not.

do you have west texas ties? or interest in rural medicine? my high stat family member (no west texas ties) didn't get a tech ii but does have several other interviews.

No west Texas ties but strong interest in border health and rural medicine

Please try not to be anxious on behalf of your "very smart family member" and it's not really helpful to ask this same question in multiple threads.

The interviews are passed out over a period of many months, and it's uncommon to get an interview at each and every school

Don't worry to much about it, my friend with a ~68-70 LM was interviewed in December and got accepted. (He also applied very very early)

If I remember correctly I believe from an event I attended their matriculant stats were around a ~3.8 GPA and 511 MCAT or so. I believe the highest MCAT in the class was a 522? Not too certain on that however.

I interviewed here last week, one of my interviewers definitely asked me about some of the stuff on my application.

From what I could find online I don’t think they have access to your stats

has anyone here interviewed here yet? if so how was the experience?
Click to expand...

laid back, felt like most questions were pretty standard. didn’t feel like i was being grilled. just two 1:1 so nothing too crazy

they give a lot of info about the campuses, curriculum, locations before interviews. recommend the pre interview social to get more questions answered by students.

they do some things to make you comfortable like music and a game in the waiting room lol

I also got an IS II this morning and was able to access the link without any issues. The link takes you to the secondary portal, which has a new "Interview" tab for scheduling an interview. The earliest date I saw was 9/27.

+1 IS II couple hours ago! LM 73, complete 6/30.

Just checked the interview dates available and the earliest is in mid-October o_O...if I wait, is there a chance that an earlier spot will open up? Has anyone been in a similar situation before? I'm not on SDN much, so I apologize if this is a commonly asked question.

That is probably the earliest date open right now. If you wait it might be even later

+1 IS II LM 82 completed 05/31.

My harvesting senses were taken aback by an II after having submitted my application so long ago, but I seem to underestimate my ability to speak to the IIs on a spiritual level.

You should feel happy that your powers are still working after that initial windfall :)

I cannot wait to get an interview invite from Texas Tech! It is one of my top schools😢
 
Went to Tech for undergrad:

Pros: Housing is relatively cheap and abundant, a good number of restaurants with some variety, literally no traffic and everywhere is 15 minutes away, does have an international airport, the rec is pretty nice (Climbing wall, huge pool, everything you need exercise-wise although it can get crowded).

Cons: Like 3 hours from basically anything else, doesn't have incredible activities compared to what I imagine a Dallas or Houston has, rains mud sometimes.

I can answer more Q's if needed, I imagine there's a lot I missed.

I saw that too and I was thinking that it sounds a little low imo. Maybe because of Texas match system?

Admit.org is crowdsourced from a sample of people who add in their info sporadically
Overall TMDSAS % admitted is about 30% though (of applicants, not of interviewees)
For Lubbock the % matriculated after interview is about 20% for IS and 17% for OOS from MSAR data

That makes sense. So I guess we don't have any data on the acceptance rate, but we do know that 20% matriculate following an interview which would mean the acceptance rate is probably much higher than that. Also, I just wasn't sure if post acceptance rate is an accurate metric for tmdsas because I believe medical schools rank their students instead of "accepting" unless its a prematch.

I think you have a good understanding of the basics
While I don’t have specific admissions percentage data for the individual schools, the overall outcome is good :
If you get 1 or more interviews as an IS applicant, your odds of admission somewhere in TMDSAS are 70%
Data from EY 2023 TMDSAS
Texans applied 4814
Texans interviewed 3309
Texans accepted 2339
Texans matriculated 2077
The other 262 presumably enrolled OOS

Don't worry about it being that far in the future, you'll notice they have been sending out invitations pretty often and filling their interview days

How long in between secondary submission and interview invite is normal for this school? I submitted 08/09 and have yet to hear back from Lubbock. I have very very close ties to the area as well and a LizzyM score of 70, high MCAT low GPA.
