UPDATE: got an interview with UTSW! It's on December 4th
 
Did anybody have an interview for UNTHSC this Friday, November 6th? If so, has anybody received any notification yet. I know it’s so soon but I’m so nervous and wanted to know if anybody has received anything.
 
I also interviewed Nov 6 and haven’t heard anything!

Congratulations! When did you submit your application? I submitted mine on 9/21 and still haven't heard anything yet, so I'm not sure how to feel.

I think I had everything submitted by the end of September (around the same time as you) and it was radio silence until 4 days ago. I am not sure how they go about reaching out to each person but I'm hoping for the best for you! Have you checked to make sure everything is submitted?

Actually now that I think about it, everything probably wasn’t fully in until a bit later because I didn’t realize I had to complete the Texas Residency Questionnare until a bit after. Thanks so much for your response, that’s helpful!
 
I still have not heard back from Texas State, is anyone else having the same problem? Unsure if I should call/email them or not. Website says they’ll reach out by nov 6th???

I heard from another applicant that they had a record number of applicants this cycle so they are running a bit behind on getting all of the responses out! They are supposed to be still sending them out, but maybe sending an email just to check in wouldn't hurt? Wishing you the best!

I haven't heard anything from them either, I was hoping they would just be getting around to it eventually, but losing hope.

I got an interview from them October 14 for their first interview and they interviewed last Friday! I just declined since I got into my top choice (UTSW).

Is anyone still waiting to hear from UTHSCSA? Or is all hope pretty much gone at this point?..

I have not heard anything from them. On September 28th I received an email saying my application is now being sent to faculty for review. Haven’t heard anything since then.

Hey! I wouldn’t worry too much if you haven’t received anything from UTHSCSA yet. I received my rejection email pretty fast. With TXST they’re running a little behind. A friend of mine who applied to that program said they plan on getting everyone’s responses out by the end of this week. I think that the people who have already received a reply from them may have applied earlier in the cycle! But I would say for San Antonio no news yet is probably good news, that means they’re still considering your application!

how quickly did you hear a response from Angelo? I just had my interview a week ago and they didn't really give me a time line.

Check the application status portal. I never received an email or a letter but they updated the portal with my rejection letter. 🙁
