To the women who have already interviewed or even plan to interview, did you wear heels or flats? I had originally thought I was going to wear heals and bring flats to change into when we go on the school tour, but I did not realize how the day is set up and how they split you into groups. I don't want to have to change my shoes 4 times in the middle of the day. Any advice?

My interview date is September 15. To anybody who had already gone to the interview, can you share how the interview day is set up? And what is the format of the interview? Is it individual or group interview? MMI? Open or closed file? 🙂

It is a very chill day (more so than other schools)- they do a great job of making you feel at ease. On my day there were 18 of us, so they broke us up into 3 groups of 6. My group toured first, while another group went to interviews and another to something else. You are given the tour by the same two members of faculty that will interview you, which is nice because you can really get to know them over the course of the day. After the tour we met back in the big conference type room and waited for our interviews. All were complete before lunch, and mine lasted around 25 minutes. Some students and more faculty join you for lunch, so it's nice to pick their brain and feel out how the student body works and lives! The interview was fairly laid back, the two faculty members and you. It was open file, but a lot of the discussion stemmed from previous answers and it wasn't simply rapid fire questions off of your application. It was a great day all in all and the program was very impressive!

Thank you for your reply 🙂 Do you wear heels all day or change to flats during tour?

Have any OOS applicants other than AK residents gotten interviews? I am an AL resident in a Masters program with a 3.71 grad GPA and a 21AA. Just wondering if there is anyone in a similar situation.

Thank you! Mine was received by UT on 7/26 and then again on 8/2? When did they notify you of your interview?

My interview is in a few days. How was your interview process like? What kind of questions were asked? Any advice?

Interview is so chill! 15 min interview with two faculty and they emphasize it should just be relaxed and conversational. Only official questions i got were tell me about yourself right off the bat and what area of dentistry id like to focus on. Talked about bbq and random things about tn. Rest of time is just hanging out with other interviewees and touring. No pressure at all. Have fun!
 
Is anyone an "outstanding applicant" (21 AA or above and 3.5 or above) that has not gotten an email yet? Have y'all emailed the school already or are y'all waiting till the 15th? Also an AR resident.

I am OOS and have a 23 AA and 3.9 GPA and still haven't heard anything. I waited until today to call because I had the "outstanding scores" and they just wrote my name down and said they would give it to the Admissions Committee to see if they wanted to interview with me...wasn't that what they were supposed to do when I submitted my application months ago??
 
They received a much larger number of applications this year than they normally do so they likely just hadn't looked over yours yet...you should hear back soon

Thank you, this is my first application cycle/interview invite so I am thrilled to say the least! I am scheduled for this upcoming Friday, October 27th. I was able to choose between this Friday and next Friday, November 3rd. However, the email instructed me to choose the first available date so that's what I did. I can't wait!
 
Has anyone who applied relatively close to the deadline had their application status go to "received/under review" yet? Applied 9/24
