Does anyone know how interviews are distributed? For example, if someone's application was complete earlier than someone else who got an interview, does that mean they are not a strong applicant?

I like to try to squelch this rumor that if somebody gets an interview before you, you have been “passed by”.
I’ll keep trying! Applications are read by various people then discussed at periodic meetings. There is a long time for you to be compared to others and to get your chance, over the next 6 months.

This is my first cycle (and hopefully last) and I was really concerned about this. Thank you so much for all of your knowledge.
 
Last year UTMB sent out (roughly) monthly batches for interview invites. There would be a few days of II then nothing for a while. They can only send out so many at once, so if you haven't heard anything yet, do not panic... plenty of the May/June/July submissions hear back all the way till November. Getting a later one doesn't make you any less desirable. 🙂

thanks for your reassurance!
 
UTMB also changed their practice not to give early acceptances starting in October and wait until all interviews are complete in early December and issue them around Mid to Late December.

So there is advantage for early interviewers in terms of hearing back by mid October.
 
If you get an email that youre complete youre 100% complete right? I know I did the spark hire video but theres no way for me to check if they received it or it uploaded correctly.
 
Anyone have any advice on how to prepare for interview/the interview process/any fun facts about the school or Galveston? 🙂

I suggest you read the past year's threads and cruise their Instagram feed. Find what interests you.

I want to confirm I understand what you are saying. Are you saying they will be starting pre-matches in mid-October this year and not waiting until December as they have the past 1 or 2 years?

I, for one, don't try to predict the future.

In the past 2 years, UTMB has indeed waited until all the interviews were finished before making pre-match offers.
There is a new admissions dean this year who may follow this pattern, or not.

The only certainty is: the earliest date TMDSAS pre-match offers may be made is October 15th, 2025.

There is another new dean?!

I did mean they wont issue any admissions until late december based on last two years but wonder what route a new dean will take.
 
anyone have any video advice as in what is the structure of the video? is it just 1 video and how long do i have before it starts recording?
 
It is super quick, like 2 questions. Similar to casper responses, but a little more focused on you! Just take a deep breath and do you best. It's only one component of your application.

I super screwed up my sparkhire last year. Didn’t even answer one of the questions and ended my answer with a “I’m sorry” 😭. Still got an II though!
