How do you know their first interview day is 8/24??...that is the same day as my UTMB interview...i doubt they would have the two interviews on the same days, would they?
There are only 7 days in the week and no one would come in on Sunday 🙂 I think UTH is only interviewing Fridays and Wednesdays. That calendar shows it all.
You can always reschedule if you had another interview. But UTH is hard to reschedule FYI.
Having an interview already on the day they assign is usually a good scapegoat. Also, I'd think it's much easier to reschedule if you are early and there are plenty of interview sessions after you. Once you get to Sept-Oct, they will growl at you!
For UTH it is still harder. I was out of the country for school. Other people I knew had a hard time rescheduling last year when they had UTMB and UTH the same day. They'll give you their very last date which is the reschedule date (last year was Jan 5). Then if you have a good reason and ask nicely, they'll email you when there are openings in other interview days, but you have to respond quickly because first come first serve. It should be easy but it isn't and it is quite stressful because you could possibly end up with a very late date. (I went from Aug 2nd to Jan 5 to Aug 25th. Thank God 🙂)
I don't know if this has already been asked/answered, but...
Does anyone know what system the Texas schools go under for their Interviews (blind, semi-blind etc.)?
I have interviewed at TCOM and I know they use a semi-blind system, where they get your personal statement and secondary essays etc, but no GPA or MCAT scores.
Any others?
UTSA is semi-blind. All they get is your essays.
UTSW is open file.
UTMB I hear is open file.
hey everyone! for those interviewing at A&M on 8/9, where do you'll plan on staying?
and also, i haven't received their packet via postal mail yet. i called the office and they said they'll get the lady to call me back. but my interview is in 4 days. any ideas?
I'm staying at the LaQuinta. There was a list of hotels in the packet, but no discount code or anything. I think the LaQuinta was $65, so not too bad.
If you don't get your packet in the mail in the next two days, PM me and I'll tell you the gist of what's in it - where to go, where to park, etc.

So I just accepted a job as a Research Assistant with BCM-Children's Nutrition Research Center. I really didn't want to do anymore research but it was paying well so I accepted it. Earlier this summer I applied at MD Anderson as a nursing assistant and heard nothing from them. Today I get a call saying that they are interested in me for the position. I don't want to leave Baylor b/c I got the job due to a recommendation from my previous research advisor, so It would look bad on him if I quit already. I reallllyyy want to work at MDA b/c of all the patient contact and all of the great benefits of working there. By the way... I reallllllyyy want to go to UTH. What should I do, I'm so confused????😕
For everyone attending the 8/9 A&M interview...
I go to school at A&M so I know the city very well. If you have any problems feel free to PM me. Also, maybe it would be a good idea to meet and greet? That way we will know some people on the 9th. If you want my cell number just PM me in case you get lost or something.
Also, I was thinking we could maybe carpool to Temple and back? My car gets great mileage (civic), so if some people could chip in a few bucks I wouldn't mind.
I heard them laughing at my application 🙁Anyone hear anything from any schools today? Its too quiet..

just checked my email and received an invite to a&m for 8/30! 😀😀
Seems like several of us are going to be at A&M on 8/30. We ought to all try and meet at the Chicken.
heck I'm thinking about driving to CS and getting a room at LaQuinta just to hang out with the cool kids.
I should pull one of those "Hey I'm going to be in the area, want to interview me?" things.

Churches chicken?
I wonder what they'd do if we just showed up to the medical school in a suit and tie without having been invited for an interview.
This is me *crossing my fingers* that I get a UTMB invite tomorrow...bah, who am I kidding!? 🙄
good luck, im hoping for that UTHSCA invite
i hope i get my first interview this week. or at least this month?
this process makes me sick.
my prehealth committee sent my lor last monday and it still isnt up on my tmdsas. is this happening to anyone else?
also if you send tmdsas an update, where do they put it? can you see what they updated?
congrats to all of you on your interviews.
To receive interviews, does the order in which schools consider you change if you submit your secondaries more than a couple of days after the primary app processing date? How long did each secondary take most of you?
I still haven't finished my Texas A&M Secondary (at first because it was so damn long) and I was processed in June. At this point I am just considering not going there, which is why I am holding it.
