No, there's a method to the madness. They are probably looking at EC involvement over grades, using time of application as a general guide.
I was processed 2 months ago without letters, so they're not necessary for getting processed.is there anyone who was processed in august who has received interviews from any of the UT schools? and does processed imply the letters are in?

If he wanted you to mail him something I imagine he might have given you an address. Just send an email. I'm sure they all go in the trash either way.So my 1st interviewer at UTHSCSA didn't have a business card or anything that day with him, so I asked him for a way to contact him (expecting an address to send a thank you) but all he gave me was his email.
Now everyone says to write hand-written thank you notes. Since he just gave me his email, should I send him just that, or try and find his correspondance which is turning out to be very difficult...
really? interesting.True, but a M4 who was touring us and giving us advice said that on the evaluation for interviewers, there is an actual check box for "sent thank you"
Keep that in mind
about how long after we interview should we get those thank you notes out?

Is it just me or does it seem like there have not been many new people reporting interview invites. I was processed on 6/20, but my LOR were received like 3 weeks ago and I have only gotten one invite to TCOM. Do yall think for places like UTMB and UTHSCSA who have been giving out a ton of invites lately, that if you haven't gotten an invite yet and were completed early that you're prolly not going to get one? I'm getting really worried! By the way my stats aren't stellar but I thought they were good enough for some UT invites!
GPA 3.72
MCAT 29
Lots of EC, volunteer, and work experience. And what my advisors keep calling "really great LOR's".....
Also, does anyone know if TX med schools ask the people they want the most first and then go down the list or by processing date or how they choose to send out invites? Thanks for the help and CONGRATS to all yall with those awesome scores and interviews! Good Luck

Hey guys I'm an avid reader but I never post. But anyway I just had to vent! I'm getting really depressed that I haven't heard from UTH, Southwestern, or Baylor. I've got pretty good scores (3.8 and 32)! Why cant they just tell me now!! Its seriously messing with my psyche.
my processed date was similar to yours - i am sure my letters were in (used interfolio) but do not know if schools have looked at them... I doubt anyone has even had the time to read my essays lol

UTMB just came out with invites for 9/21
good luck everyone!
Same with me, but there's a bit of method behind the madness with Baylor. Unless your app was complete (and I mean everything) before the end of July, they just haven't gotten to you yet. At least Baylor gives you a status page, the other 2 are just wait and see.

DrMccodell,
I'm pretty much in the same boat as you (3.74, 28). Either of the scenarios you mentioned (best candidates first or invitation by processing date) could be in play, depending on the school (as MassTransport said). I would think you would get interviews sometime in the near future. Good luck!!!
What date were you processed?
Whoa, what is this about sending thank you to your interviewer? Is that expected or what.... cause I haven't done that for any of mine.. :|

I'm still wondering how you got a Southwestern interview after only a week of being processed. 😵
Our (very experienced) med advisor has repeatedly told us to do it. At a UTMB conference they were giving us tips for the interview, and told us to do it. I've heard from several others to do it.
And like I said earlier, I believe at UTHSCSA, the interviewers have a check box for whether we sent a thank you or not. That is just what a M4 told us, so I don't know if its necessarily true or he was joking...
not that im saying your shouldnt send thank you notes... but i think he was joking.
I think it's a well known fact that you should send a thank you. It doesn't sound absurd that they would have a check box. I doubt very many schools have that though.

the regular TX thread is pretty much dead. that's pretty sad.How did this thread fall to the second page?
Shame on us.
the regular TX thread is pretty much dead. that's pretty sad.
haha, I hear you there. Now that my LORs are in I better get a TX interview. Even just one, to say I didn't apply twice without a single interview.If I get one interview even, I will post so much about it that neither thread will be able to die until I get rejected/accepted 🙂
I just got an invite from San Antonio in the mail. I didn't interview there last cycle, so this one feels especially good!!
Did your LMU change? When were you processed/complete? Were your LOR's in? lol sorry for all the questions I'm just soooo anxious to hear from UTHSCSA.
