For those who have interviewed at Tech. I know most have said that the interview process is very chill. But is there interview process a typical one? As in, you interview with a professor for 30ish minutes with typical interview questions? Or were the questions more geared towards your application?

If anybody can help, it would mean a lot! I have an interview with them on the 15th.

I interviewed at Tech on the Lubbock campus at the end of September and was accepted two weeks after my interview! I would definitely classify their interview as more traditional. I was asked questions like why I wanted to be a PT, why I think Tech would be a good program for me, how I handle stress, and why I am different from other candidates. I wasn't asked anything where I felt like I had to scramble to find the words to answer the question. I felt like I was having a conversation more so than being interviewed. Overall, I felt very welcomed by the faculty and students there. Hope this helps! Feel free to PM if you want more specifics or have any other questions.

Hey Typical Average Student, we have a lot of the same history. I have been accepted to USA-Austin, rejected by Baylor with no interview.
I do have an interview with UIW coming up. I am curious how long after your interview did you hear that you were accepted? And how does the UIW interview compare with the USA interview?

I interviewed at the Amarillo campus, I had a ton of time to chat with first year students. My actual interview was with one professor for about 15 mins. They just want to honestly get to know you, why you applied there, and why you chose PT. Good luck!!

Has anyone interviewed at UTMB already and could speak on what the interview was like?
 
I also received an invite to UTHSCSA yesterday! I'm planning on attending the 12/7 interview.

First you will have the orientation, where all DPT professors are going to be introduced. The interviews follow right after, depending on what time yours is scheduled. The interviews usually conducted by a faculty member and a clinician. Your questions will depend on who is interviewing you, based on my experience, but most of them are pretty much the same as anywhere else.
I highly recommend you to attend meet and greet event the day before the interview, meeting current DPT students may help you to get the "character" of the program, so to speak. 🙂

Yeah I actually interviewed down there early in September and it was split into two separate interviews. A group discussion type of interview with other interviewees and then a 1 on 1 interview that includes a case scenario and also your standard 1 on 1 questions.
 
I have acceptances at Texas Tech and Angelo State. I also loved my experience at Texas State and am waiting to hear back. Does anyone have any advice that might make this decision easier

how was the group discussion? Also, we’re the case scenarios hard..? Or just more of an ethical/critical thinking type of scenario? I have an interview with them next Tuesday! Have you hear back yet?
 
Has anyone been accepted to TWU Dallas? I know some people were already rejected but I haven't seen anyone post about being accepted.

I got rejected from them in October. A friend of mine got accepted into the Dallas location sometime in October/November I believe.

I also haven't heard anything from TWU (Houston campus, applied 10/14). My webadvisor admission status changed to "Second App Review" today though, so maybe that's something.

Same here. Just found out through CatsWeb about an hour ago. Although friend of mine who works at the same PT clinic as me got in!

I was accepted. I got the email as well about an hour ago. Now the decision process!

Congrats! What are your other options and where does TXST fall on your top choice list?

I also have got into Angelo State and Texas Tech. Its hard to say, I was really impressed with Texas State, but cost is also higher than ASU which I enjoyed as well.
 
Anyone at the Texas Tech interview in Amarillo 11/15 hear anything yet?
 
Just accepted my offer to Angelo State University!! I know it's still early, but would love to know who else may be attending!! 🙂

I heard back the following Friday on 11/22 after the interview that I got into the Lubbock Campus. I don't think they've completed making offers yet though.

Congrats! I also accepted a position at ASU, but I am also considering some other schools at the moment.
 
dvanbeur said:
Congratulations to you too! I'm still waiting on 4 other schools this month, so I'll reevaluate my options in January. How about you?

I am waiting for one more interview and then making my decision.
 
Congratulations to everyone who’s gotten acceptance offers!!! Just did the interview yesterday at UTHSCSA and hopefully will hear back in 2 weeks or so since the 1st years are taking finals next week.
