Texas Interviews 2008: Part 2

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
So I was wondering if anyone knew whether top 25 schools (Baylor and UTSW) interviews are going to be more difficult and "challenging" then the other schools have been?

Anyone know from experience, or heard about this kind of thing before? Like are they the type of schools who would ask random as difficult questions, or very broad questions? So far all my interviews for the most part have been extremely chill, and I almost never have had a question that was difficult to answer.

Scared about UTSW this weekend though...

I thought my UTSW interview was great, although I was more nervous for it, with it being UTSW and all that. It was my last one, so I also had more "experience", if you want to call it that, but in hindsight I think it was no different from my other ones.

As a matter of fact, I was extremely nervous the whole day and thought it had gone horribly just because I was tense, but I got in, so apparently I didn't do anything that bad.

From my first interviewer I got questioned about politics in my native country...I was surprised by that but also prepared (I keep up with the news and I love reading the political pages) since I had mentioned growing up elsewhere in my application. We spent a lot of time on that. After that he proceeded to ask me what I liked to do for fun, if I had any hobbies, and whether I'd been to the movies lately (not kidding). My second interviewer asked me what I thought the greatest problem in healthcare was and how I would go about fixing it. I rambled on in circles about there being no clear solution, and she kind of smiled and said "Well, you're right, if it were easy to solve it we would have done that already." So even if they ask you difficult questions, they don't expect you to solve the problems of the world by yourself, they just need to know you have some insight and that you are not a weirdo.

Of course, it also depends on the interviewers that you get, but I wouldn't spend too much time worrying about something that is out of your control. Just prepare for the worst and hope for the best, and relax. In fact, you should take that advice for any interview.

Good luck!!
 
Thanks for that baylormed, hopefully our experience will be the same 🙂. Btw, I really like your avatar 😛
 
is it October 15th or November 15th that med schools notify in state residents of acceptance for Texas Schools?
 
November 15th is the first possible day.
 
Baylor interviews were surprisingly relaxing for me, mostly conversational. As for Southwestern, the questions I got asked were somewhat harder than what I encountered along the interview trail, but like Baylormed said, it really just depends on who you get. Both my interviewers were nice, it's just that one of them came off as somewhat intimidating. And of course, at both Baylor and Southwestern (pretty much everywhere really) I get the "what do you think is a problem with our current healthcare system?" question. But that's really as hard as it gets (unless you get a rather unusual ethics question).

In sum, I don't think it really makes a difference whether it's a top school or not, the kind of questions you get asked just depends on who your interviewer is. Hope that helps.

My UTSW interview was really laid back but I think I thought that because I didn't really want to go to school there anyway (you know I love you, baylormed 🙂 )

My Baylor interview was some kind of hellish. I got pimped about Shakespeare (no I'm not kidding) in my first interview and during my second one I had a coughing fit (I was getting over bronchitis). It was so bad we had to stop the interview so I could get some water. I was all sweaty and red by the time I came back, an absolute disaster. But the questions themselves weren't all that bad (at least in the second interview). It really does depend on who you get. When you come to Baylor, ask some of the med students who your interviewers are. I recognized at least one name and it was this extremely sweet professor; I felt like I was able to calm their fears alittle.

We're all super excited whenever interviewers come so feel free to ask us anything.
 
I had a weird experience at Baylor. My first interview: great, or at least okay. My second interview was faculty, and he asked me exactly 3 questions and then forced me to ask him questions for the next 25 minutes. He'd say "ask me a question," and I would, and we'd talk about whatever that brought up for a bit, and then he'd say "ask me another question." Asking questions is not really my forte - at least it was Baylor, and there were a couple of things I was curious about, but man. I came up with a question every time, but what I want to know is what on earth he was thinking. Did I pass or fail during those original 3 questions? Was he trying to keep me on my toes? Wtf, seriously.

UTSW interviews were spectacular, maybe the best ones I've had yet. They do ask more "typical" interview questions - one of my interviews was the least conversational I'd ever had - but he was still really nice, and I felt like we had a rapport by the end.

I feel like it's all a crapshoot. One of my friends had his worst interview at UTMB, of all places. He actually reported the interviewer to admissions - the interviewer said awful things. Referring to his activities with his church, the interviwer told my friend he "was stupid and naive to believe in God." He also said the assassination of President Bush would be justified, and that he thinks people over 50 shouldn't live, so he provides inadequate medical care to them. I know it sounds made up, or maybe he was "testing" him, but according to my friend it was an hour long rant that he finally walked out of in disgust. Crazy! My UTMB experience was great.
 
Both my Baylor and UTSW interviews were mixed bags. My first Baylor interviewer came at me hard with open-ended and very touchy ethical questions. The second one straight up told me that I impressed him very much and that I was a shoo-in for the school. At UTSW, my first interviewer kept emphasizing how competitive the school was, like I wasn't going to make it, and I just chatted about random things with the second interviewer.

I think my performance at UTMB was the best, but who knows.

I agree with what's being said above. Everybody has a different interview style and you never know what's going on that evaluation paper at the end. I try not to think about it.
 
nomorereplz,
do you think you could find out the crazy utmb doctors name. i had a really odd interview that sounds similar to your friends. i wasn't sure what to do after the interview? i didn't fill out the questionaire.
 
the silence is killing me. come one interview fairy, my inbox waits for thee.
 
From what it looks like, you just need to pray for an interviewer that isn't anal.
 
yeah...i had an interviewer at UTMB who said that black ppl get away with things by pulling the race card when it is unwarranted...

I just shut up.

best thing you could have done in that situation.

yeah...i had an interviewer at UTMB who said that black ppl get away with things by pulling the race card when it is unwarranted...

I just shut up.

😵

😵
 
to the people who just posted about their 10/5 interviews, could you please tell us when you were complete? Thanks.
 
I recently heard several med students say that they don't believe your feelings about how you did on interviews correspond to your admission or rejection to the school. Some say they thought they did horrible after an interview and still got in while others say they thought they nailed it but were rejected. Have you guys heard the same rumor? I really hope so because I don't think I've done exceptionally at any interview.

yeah, people typically aren't good at judging their own performance.

It's like trying to remember the day you took your MCAT. For most people, those 5-8 hours are a blur though they certainly didn't feel like it when you were taking it!
 
Yeah. I interviewed for a scholarship once, and thought I had bombed. Got a call the next day for it. So it's probably true we're not good at judging how things went.

Haha...plus, for the most part at the TX interviews, everyone has been like "yeah! I think they went well!" If that is true, I do not know how they pick.

I'd give them a call. They seemed pretty accommodating.

Okay, I know i've asked this before but I've gotten different responses recently. Does A&M provide some people with transportation to temple? Some people tell me no, some have said yes.
 
WOOHOO! Finally some UTHSC love! Now I just wanna hear from UTH and UTHSCSA and my life will be complete!

Okay, I know i've asked this before but I've gotten different responses recently. Does A&M provide some people with transportation to temple? Some people tell me no, some have said yes.

Not officially, but I imagine you could hook up with someone that would help you out. Some folks from our group carpooled to and from Temple. I would get on the phone ASAP and make arrangements if your interview is this week. You don't want to be scrambling the day of your interview.
 
WOOHOO! Finally some UTHSC love! Now I just wanna hear from UTH and UTHSCSA and my life will be complete!

Can you edit your post and remove the quotes? People can't add onto the list.

Also, it's a good thing that UTMB is finally going through their applicants again for a second look. That's the reason why you apply early, because you're app may get only one look and that's it.

Good luck to you DrMccodell. UTMB was pretty nice to me when I interviewed there last Friday.

Ugh, still no luck for me. But it IS good to hear they're shifting back thru the pile...c'mon you know you want me!

how 'bout them acceptances...getting tired of waiting 😕

Agreed! 9 weeks and 2 days for those of us in-state.

I dug through last year's thread, and here's how (and when) the TMDSAS schools notified people:

TCOM - people noticed their status page had been updated by 6 pm on 11/14
UTH - Sent emails starting at 12:08 am on 11/15
UTMB - Sent a "fabulous" PowerPoint presentation featuring music from Rocky at 5 am on 11/15
A&M - Filo sent individual emails to people starting around 9 am on 11/15. Took all morning.
UTHSCSA - of course, sent snail mail. They were postmarked 11/14, but few people received them on 11/15. Most came the 16th and 17th.
UTSW - Sent emails, but apparently not until 11/16.

Most people with acceptances noticed LMFUs in either the second week of October or the first week of November, but we won't go there!

Of course none of this means they'll do things the same way this year, but it's something to look forward to.

Can someone give us a countdown meter? Ok, so I'm a little anxious!
 
Anyone else notice that the Match is a lot sooner this year. Anyone want to try to give an explanation or a conspiracy theory? I always thought it would be 2/15 but this yea rit is 2/1.

Funny, I didn't even notice. Mostly because I'm praying I won't have to wait until match this year...but I'm sure glad it's earlier, regardless. I was about ready to pull out my hair waiting those extra 2 weeks last year! Lol 😱

EDIT: Oh, and wanted to mention that I'm like 90% sure I scored a UTH research assistant job today!! 🙂 I think I lucked out too, the PI is really nice and the lab is very small but laid-back. Perfect. 😉

anyone know if the ways they notified is similar for OOS applicants but around 10/15

im just wondering if by like 10/25 i should give up hope
 
I'm sitting here in Lubbock now for my interview tomorrow. Anyone want to meet up?

Hey, I know its late, but I'm still up. I'm going to bed in a couple of hours, but we could chill for a while if you want. Me and my girlfriend are just chilling at my house right now. I live in Lubbock. If nothing else, you could tell me what you look like or will be wearing and we could talk during the interview tomorrow. I'll be the 6'4" guy wearing the light blue shirt and red tie.
 
BUMP!

I can tell Sep and Oct are going to be slooow months. Good luck to everyone on their interviews and the upcoming prematch! It will be here beofre you know it!😱
 
Augh, I'm getting tired of waiting for UTH and SW (though the latter is a bit of a long shot).

There were so many interviews given out in July/Aug. and then things just died. Hopefully the next half will be given out shortly. There's only Oct. left before the pre-match offers begin and interviews end in Dec. at most schools.

😕
 
I can't think too many interviews have been done to date but I'm too lazy to do the math on this one. 50-60 per week for about a month sound right to ya'll so far?
 
So I called UTMB today to check whether my application is under review with my new MCAT. The lady was very nice, she said my new score was in and then I heard "oh, this doesn't look right". She said that my application was reviewed with my old MCAT scores by mistake (I had mentioned on TMDSAS that I am retaking), and she will send it to the committee again.

After this I tried other schools but no one was nice enough to tell me if my file was reviewed with the old scores. They just said they have my new scores and if I'm complete with TMDSAS I'm complete with them. I'm seriously worried now.

Wow, another example on how crazy messed up this system is. I'm sorry to hear that feline, I hope it was just a flaw with UTMB.

No kidding...what one has to endure in all of this!! I am sure that the other schools got it straight 🙂 Everything will be okay!👍👍👍:luck:
 
Ok, so i'm edp at Tech and have been checking my status with them on that techsis website; now after my interview the status said "Interviewed" it now says "Acceptance Pending"...what does that mean? They still haven't decided or are waiting to hear from me? I'm on the edge of my seat wondering wtf is going on.
