First interview invite!

Congrats on your Baylor interview! I'm starting to get concerned about Texas schools, they haven't shown me any in-state love yet🙁! My stats are fairly similar to yours, but I had my apps submitted and complete a little before yours so I don't know why I haven't heard back from any of them yet.

Same, but I don't expect to hear from them. I unfortunately made a mistake on my transcript information. Possibly, but I hope not, there is a mistake you didn't catch.

Would an accidental mistake on your transcript info hurt you that bad? I thought that's why it takes them so long to review those, so they can fix your mistakes!?

Grats on the interview! Did mwu also send an email to inform you or was it solely the portal?

I thought so too. Don't trust that TMDSAS finds and corrects all mistakes made when entering course information. I had applied to Houston only last cycle and TMDSAS had adjusted how I classified one of my courses, so I took that to mean there were no other errors. After resubmitting everything as of is this year, it was not until I was working on the AADSAS I found the one course I made a mistake on. :/ It probably would not have been as big a deal if I had not made the mistake favoring my GPA. So that's what I mean. I am in-state and I have not heard anything from all the Texas schools besides receipt of my application. I would think mistakes like that would definitely matter because they are fairly competitive schools.

Honestly I don't it's going to be that big of deal. For one thing, the schools themselves probably don't have enough time to look over every single person's transcript and verify the grades for each one...that's what TMDSAS is for. I guess if it was a prereq then they might be looking at it specifically but even then, they might not notice the classification discrepancy. Also, you could email them with the correct information and explain the situation...especially since TMDSAS kind of made a mistake as well, I don't think they'll be too hard on you.

I don't think y'all need to worry about not having heard from the Texas schools yet. They interview like 200-300 in state applicants per cycle and have probably handed out like 10%, maybe 15% of that (since there are people who are not on SDN getting invites as well I'm sure.) There is SO much time left!

You make some good points and there is plenty of time 🙂 So we'll see. I hope to post more results here.

This is literally the exact thing that happened to me. I applied to Medical School 2 years ago, so my course info for TMDSAS was already filled out, and I didn't think to look it over. I too found a mistake when copying it to AADSAS🙁 And I know for a fact I had put the info in correctly when I filled it out for Medical School, so I don't know how/why just the one class got changed (from a "W" to an "A").

YAY! I am SO excited about Case! Talk about a fast turn-around, too! I'm interviewing September 24th and couldn't be more thrilled. 😀

Your AADSAS mail out date was 8/2/13? I thought you were in the first batch.

Last cycle from what I recalled, first round of acceptance was sent via email on Dec 3, 2012 at ~12am for both BCD and UTHSCSA and at ~10am for UTSD. (all CST) Total interviews from each schools: BCD ~220 students, UTSD ~270 students, and UTHSCSA ~UTSD. ~15 seats at BCD are unobtainable due to the PBP and ??? seats at UTHSCSA are acquired by students in the DEAP.

Good luck y'all.
 
Your AADSAS mail out date was 8/2/13? I thought you were in the first batch.

if you want to pick more nits: 'application complete date' would be more informative if it were reflective of the completion date at the school rather than when aadsas was filled out and submitted.

in her excitement she may have been in a rush. understandably so.

My post was made in order to clarify as to whether it was a mistake made while typing or actually the AADSAS mail out date, which is a legitimate question to ask when the whole point if this thread is to see stats, when things were submitted, and when interviews were given out.

I'm definitely not trying to take a dig at Glimmer...just wondering.

She added Case on 7/31 so it was mailed out on 8/2.

Thanks!! This is exactly the info I was looking for. 🙂

Congrats to Glimmer for hearing back so soon after submission. I'm not surprised tbh.

Yep! 😀 I was kicking myself for not having researched and applied to Case sooner, but it has luckily all worked out. The school (especially the admissions department, which I have already experienced first-hand) just seems way too all-around awesome for me to skip up.

I really was in the first batch for all of my other schools, though! I've had everything done for what feels like forever. 🙂

Hah! Koalafied, I suppose that I might mention SDN in my interview, even if it's just briefly... After all, Dr. Chuck being active on here is what led to me research/apply to the school! Their involvement on social media in general is definitely a big reason for me regarding the question, "Why Case?" Through it, it is clear to see that CWRU genuinely cares about its students and wants to see them be successful. I greatly respect how they work to make their admissions process as transparent as possible for us! They are totally "on-the-ball," organized, and helpful. It has aided me tremendously, and I know it has done the same for many others.

I'm really excited about my interview--I've only heard great feedback about students' experiences with it. I also think it's nice that they only interview ~5 students on each available date; it seems like it will be very personal. 🙂

Thanks again, everyone, and congrats to the rest of you!

Thanks! I never got an email from MWU about the invitation; the only email I ever received was confirming the date after I scheduled an interview from the portal. Not sure if this is the norm, but for me I'm treating it as vindication for checking every 10 minutes haha 🙄

Nobody has posted here, but UoP has started giving out some interviews. They seem to be primarily to westerners at this point. 🙂

Meuuuurghhh. :scared:

Yeah... But, no reason to worry. He has (f you can believe it) crazier stats than you, Glimmer.

You'll hear soon! I would bet all of my dental school tuition on it, haha!

how did you even get an interview with your terrible stats...
 
Random question, but I am a CA resident and applied to UoP, but I am out of the country until the end of August. I'm worried that if I were to get an interview invitation, which is by phone only, I won't receive it since I turned my phone's cellular data off while I'm here. What do you think the best thing to do is? I replied to the email saying that my application was being actively reviewed a few days ago, but haven't heard back yet.

This is making me so anxious.

If I went you, I would contact the school and let them know of your situation and that the best way to contact you is via email during that time period instead of phone.

Do you have an iPhone? If so, there is a free calling app that works over the Internet and is free. It's called text free plus voice. You can call your cell phone number and check messages that way, or you can buy a cheap calling card and check your messages.

Do you have a Google voice number? One of the features is online voicemail.
