Hey! I have an interview with HSU tomorrow, UMHB on Oct 11th, and just got an interview offer for TTUHSC in Lubbock.

What was the UMHB interview like? I'm curious about the essay writing process. Thanks!

You get an envelope with a prompt and a flash drive and are directed to where the computers are. Once you are done, you have an interview with 2 professors. The prompt and questions were pretty generic, and the interviewers genuinely nice . Very relaxed experience as opposed to my second interview (UNT)

I got accepted into UTMB. They do it by a point system so you hear back quick. I also got into Hardin Simmons so I'm deciding whether to pick one of those or keep interviewing...

 

[texan99]

I have an interview at UTMB on the 11th. A little bit scared about the 'group interview' part as I am not a very outgoing person.
Any hints?

 

[texan99]

Also, congratulations on acceptance!
Is UTMB your first choice school?

 

[TheLeverGuy]

Did you get into UNTHSC??

 

[texan99]

Yes!
Just got the email a few hours ago.

Nice! Is that your top pick or are you still deciding

 

[texan99]

Thanks.
Still deciding - have Texas tech and utmb interviews coming up

 

[texan99]

Decided on Texas Tech. If there is anybody else going to TT, please let me know

Decided on Texas Tech. If there is anybody else going to TT, please let me know

When did you hear back from Tech?

 

[texan99]

Around Nov 15th

 

[texan99]

Just got off the waiting list at UTMB (my original first chocie)
So now I have a difficult choice to make - TTech vs UTMB.
Any suggestions are welcome (you can ignore cost and 'entertainment value' factors 🙂
