Congrats! That's pretty surprising since they mentioned in their "Your Application is Complete" email that II would begin on August 12th

Secondary submitted 7/28
Pressure from other schools issuing IIs.
+1 IS! Were you able to pick an interview date? It won’t let me.
Hahaha they probably were ready earlier than they thought and just sent one as a pleasant surprise.
Much better than being late past their stated date of the 12th and having lots of calls & emails!
No, it looks like not open yet

Is there a chance they still send secondaries? Applied TMDSAS on 5/29
Yes they are one of the schools that takes time to read what you have said and done in your primary to select applicants to complete the secondary. It will take some time
I’m wondering the same thing. I still have not received a secondary but saw on here other people received secondaries even though the primary was submitted later than mine.
Hope this is the case 🤞

Yeah I got one today sumbitted 6/19
When they built this school, they wanted to save money, so they convinced themselves to only build enough parking for everyone except for those on rotations. The issue is that they have mandatory lectures, even for those on rotations, so there is no parking if you're a 2-3rd year. You will have to pay 700+ during the school year, and maybe 50-200 during the summer for parking away from the medical school itself.
Make sure to factor this in to your budgets.

Has anyone received an interview invite this week? I'm starting to feel crazy checking my email lol
They said they're starting this week, so I guess it has to be either Thursday or Friday.

What time do med schools send their IIs or is it random? I am also waiting anxiously lmao.
Its a bit random, I wanna say normally in the PM like after 12, but it varies.

Hmm that’s weird, isn’t the med school closed after like 5? Or is it a machine that sends it after they review your file
Don't you think they sometimes have meetings after the workday, when phones are no longer ringing and their daytime tasks are done?

Saving people yeah, reading thousands of essays no.
But anyway, what I’m getting is that it is completely random and there’s no specific time I should be looking at my email
Does everyone get secondaries from UH? I got secondaries back and I submitted them yesterday. I’m an OOS so I wanted to gauge if I made the right decision to apply. LM 65.5 and my application fits pretty well with the mission.

This year is the first year they said they were screening secondaries so we will see
II+1!!
Unfortunately the current open interview days do not work for me. Would it be appropriate to wait until more interview days open up in September? Or should I email admissions regarding this? Thank you for the help!

Email them and ask for an alternate date, don't be passive in this process.
" Upon receiving an invitation to interview, applicants will have 30 days to schedule their interview time with the Admissions Office."
What do you mean "they don't work for me" though? You don't have to post your response here, but be sure it's a "real reason" like having a test or lab at college that you can't miss, or having another interview commitment. Not things like being too nervous because it's your first interview.
I wish all schools were this accommodating. Some schools are very strict about the dates and do not give 30 days. 🙁 hopefully, UHCOM is flexible.

+I II IS. Complete 7/23 LM 77
For those who got interviews, was there a confirmation on the time of the interview? I selected a date, but the confirmation email/instructions did not specify the time of day the interview will be :/

Congrats! No specific time just yet, as they stated more details will follow later. Just assume for now that the entire day is taken.
it seems like so far that those who got an II submitted before August. Is there any August submission days?
Edit: Due to my field of research as well as location, UH is one of my top choices. When would it be appropriate to send some sort of letter to express my interest in this school?

I think just wait this/ next week, it seems they are just going through the dates and they are slowly getting to August
Just got an email from them stating that they forgot to add options for time preference. There's a morning and afternoon session, and they ask you to email a certain person with your preference.
Are the interviews virtual this cycle?
Yes they are.

My application hasn't been marked complete yet as I've not completed the secondary yet. My primary was received on 8/20, and the secondary came the following day!

Better than AMCAS which charges you for each school you add on the primary app
Texas saves you $$ up front with any or all schools included for one fee
