So IS.
No, OOS.

Yes! I interview on Sept. 21st!
Doesn't UT consider applicants from Arkansas in-state? I saw somewhere on SDN that that is the case because Memphis is like 15 minutes from the Arkansas state line. I also assumed that's why only Tenn and Arkansas residents were getting interviews from UT at this time.
No. UTHSC holds a certain amount of seats for Arkansas residents so they may attain “in-state” tuition. It’s only about 20 seats or so. All other seats are fair game and considered out of state tuition. The dean of admissions specifically stated this when he visited my undergrad university.
I just interviewed there yesterday on the 24th and we talked all about it. They have a deal with the state legislator of Arkansas, so they're obligated to take on those students every year since AK has no dental school of its own.Are you currently a D(X) at UTHSC? The initial email from UTHSC only says they interview until November 2018 for this cycle.

I also spoke separately with members of admissions at length about the the application process and and dates and deadlines and that's how they broke it down for me.
Edit: also, of those 34 AK applicants, only about 20 of them are granted in state status in terms of tuition.
I interviewed with 4 faculty members in 2, 2-on-1 interviews. Dr. Collins, Dr. Triplet, Dr. Anderson, and a 4th whose name isn't coming to me right now.How was your experience? Did you interview with faculty members, or was it Dr. Covington?

Dr. Covington did not do any interviewing but he was around and we got plenty chance to speak with him. He is the Dean of the school as of now, so he just have us the closing talk and farewell.
What date did you interview?
Not too easy of an interview. don't take it for granted. It's not as hard as something like a Midwestern interview/MMI, but they don't play around. They're straightforward but they'll want details on mostly everything you mentioned, and they take note of all of it on transcript. Nothing better conflict or you'll be in trouble.I interview on the 21st! How was the vibe? Was it chill and comfortable? Or did they ask a lot of questions from your file?
UTHSC doesn't send out of state invites until January, just so everyone is aware. They do this to avoid students getting accepted later to their state school and leaving them with empty seats.
And the school considers Arkansas residents as in state and has at least 34 guaranteed seats for Arkansas residents and I think 10-15 for Mississippi or Missouri? residents. Arkansas residents get interviews at the same time as Tenn applicants.
As for actual OOS residents, the school accepts only 9-11 each cycle.
This isn't true just fyi. Received mine in August of last year as a OOS resident. Good luck everyone!
What date did you interview if you mind me asking?I interviewed there this month and I was also told something close to what the above person said. They might be changing it this year and waiting to do the majority of their OOS interviews post-December? I did interview with 1 OOS person not from Arkansas.

What kind of questions did they ask? And did you ask any questions?The 24th
Do you know how many OOS they interview last year and how many of those were accepted?

I think it isHey everyone, can someone tell me if this is a troll post or nah? I found this on DAT BC study group on FB and I don't believe it...otherwise I'd have gotten an invite.

Those who have already interviewed, how many applicants interviewed on the same day? Also, does anyone know about how many they interview total?
Any luck figuring this out?Hey everyone, can someone tell me if this is a troll post or nah? I found this on DAT BC study group on FB and I don't believe it...otherwise I'd have gotten an invite.

They actually did send something out like this last year when I applied but it was worded differently. It said if you have a 21AA and a 3.5GPA + to email the school and let them know if you had not been invited for an interview. It, however, did not say you would 100% get the interview. I’ll try to find that email if I still have it.Hey everyone, can someone tell me if this is a troll post or nah?

Unless they specifically say so this year, I probably would not.LOL, should we contact them this year if we didn't receive one by October 15? Also do you attend UTHSC currently?

Got an interview for Oct. 1! AR resident
I submitted it mid July and never heard anything from them until they invited me for an interviewWhen did you submit on AADSAS & receive an email from Memphis saying they have received/reviewing your application? Thanks!
Thank you so much for the information! I'm honestly not too hopeful about getting an interview here (I didn't know about the arrangement with Arkansas, so thought they accepted a lot from OOS). But who knows!This is for the OOS (excluding Arkansas residents) applicants that have not received an interview. I just interviewed at UT yesterday and Dr. Covington told us that they changed the way they are interviewing OOS applicants this year. He stated that they will NOT start sending out interview invites for OOS applicants until after December 3rd (acceptance day this cycle). I’m a Tennessee resident btw. Hope this helps all that are wondering!
Wow, thanks for the information! That would have been a nice disclaimer for them to post before I appliedThis is for the OOS (excluding Arkansas residents) applicants that have not received an interview.

They want that supplemental app. money.Wow, thanks for the information! That would have been a nice disclaimer for them to post before I applied

How did your interview go?

Let them know your wife has residency, that gives you residencey as well and puts you in the In-State poolThis is my top school because I'm a New Mexico resident (we don't have a dental school) but my wife is Tennessee resident. Do you think I'll still be post December 3rd if I get anything?
Thanks man!! I'll contact them todayLet them know your wife has residency, that gives you residencey as well and puts you in the In-State pool
I wouldn't reccomend contacting them because they really hate that, I think you will be fineReceived an email back in August that UTHSC received my application and that it would be reviewed shortly. My AADSAS status has been 'Received/Under Review' since then. Received basically the same email today, even though in the previous email they state you'll only hear from them up to 3 times (Notice of receipt of application/Invitation for interview/Final Decision). Has anyone else experienced this? Should I contact the school?
I got that same email today (pretty much identical to the one I got the first week of August). Kind of weird, but I figure maybe they're just getting around to the OOS applications to review?Received an email back in August that UTHSC received my application and that it would be reviewed shortly.

Sure!That was exactly my thought and I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who received the email today. Thank you for replying!
Is this part true: "Our review process is entirely electronic and everything goes through AADSAS" ???
Does no one actually read or look at the application? That's kind of an odd thing to state, IMO.
