Interview invites should be going out next week! Good luck everyone!

Did admissions let you know this or are you basing it off of last year's interview invite dates?

 

[hunterdunc]

Basing it off of almost every year prior, has been about the last full week in July/first week in August for awhile now.

 

[Aggieland2020]

I was just looking into this. Next week is when the fun will really begin. Good luck y'all!

 

[Zeplin05]

Do y’all think they go through application/send interviews in the order they receive it?

Why are you declining your interview?

 

[Ricer7]

Why are you declining your interview?

It wasn't my first choice of schools, and I've already had interviews that went well where I would rather go. It's expensive to travel everywhere and I have 2 kids so it isn't as easy as picking up and going 🙂

I kinda understand your rationale however UTHSCA is so cheap you'd be saving a lot of money by going there if you're a Texas resident

Yeah for sure I totally get the money thing. But for me with having 2 kids and a husband who unfortunately won't be there the whole time I'm in school, it's about more than just the money. Plus he's military and so we will get part of my tuition covered wherever I am. But I get the cost, it's so much cheaper there its hard to turn down!

Have any other OOS applicants been invited for an interview yet?

How often is San Antonio sending out interviews, and which day is it usually? Also, do they send out invites over the weekend ever?

Are they done interviewing people who applied in June? I haven't been offered an interview from here but was from Houston a month ago. Just curious

The process seems pretty random. I wouldn't despair, plus all it takes is one interview.

Im opposite. I already interviewed at SA and Houston, but heard nothing from Dallas

 

[coolsmile]

does someone know how is the interview? I am really nervous about this one. Going the 18th of November!

So there will prob be around 12-14 applicants. Every applicant will briefly introduce themself. Dr. Malone will give a couple presentations on the school and financial aid. Afterwards, he'll take you on a tour of the old and new building. Then you'll have lunch with current students who you can ask questions. Lastly, you'll be interviewed 1 on 1 with a student and a faculty member. Interviews should be conversational and last around 20-30 minutes.

 

[The Dent]

Dr. Malone for UTHSCSA and Dr. Cooley for UTSD

Oh yeah oops
