I hope so man. Ive had a handful out OOS interviews, but havent heard anything from ANY texas schools. I'd love to soon haha
 
Sigh. I applied last year also...and wondered why Texas schools weren't inviting me. It's the same nightmare all over again.
 
Sigh, I hate this waiting period... our lives are on the line!!! 🙁

Im so confused as to why you havent gotten a single interview from Texas yet. You have pretty great stats and youve been getting interviews from other places as well. I dont know what their problem is. Id love for each of us to get an interview at least at ONE of the TX schools.

Good luck to you :luck:
 
Finally my first interview from Baylor! It is post December, but I am very excited and nervous! My stats aren't as high, (I posted them in another thread). But there's still hope for those waiting! 🙂
 
I had my final interview today at UTSD, Dr. Pierpont was great. Overall, an impressive school, with students who genuinely love it there, and it doesn't hurt to have a brand new facility. To those who haven't heard back, don't lose hope!! I was told at UTSD that they keep interviewing well into January, so there is still hope!
 
My friend got a 11/27 interview at Houston so they are also done Pre-December interviews.

Thanks. It's on 12/5 and I submitted in May but didn't take the DAT till the end of July so it wasn't complete till mid August.
 
If Texas is done with pre dec invites, do y'all know if they are going to hold out till January to send more or are just going to commence sending post dec invites now?
 
24 Days, 12 Hours, & 21 Minutes (22 Days, 12 Hours, & 21 Minutes for San Antonio...LOL)
 
i completed my app around the end of June (that's when my last letter of rec got in). Have they already passed me? It seems some people who submitted in august got interviews and I haven't yet 🙁
 
How many weeks did SA give you between the notification date and interview date?

At this point, Houston is the only hope left for interviewing and actually getting an acceptance (based on what people said they were told at their interviews). Even if Baylor and SA have some January interview spots left, I am assuming their class will pretty much be full by the end of December. Just my two cents. Hang in there buddy! There is still some hope left!
 
TXpredent, you stats looks amazing! Have you not heard from any TX school? Hope you will hear from some of them soon. Have you applied to any OOS schools? Good luck! 👍

FYI: if you interviewed before December 1 you are still under consideration for first round of acceptances this upcoming December.
 
im starting to panic that I wont get any invites to texas schools
 
I can't believe December is already so close! Everytime I think about it I get butterflies....they have been getting worse! :scared:
 
Will the schools send an email at midnight December 3 or will it be during the day? Do they call as well?
I am so anxious right now and dont know what to during the thanksgiving vacation...so nerve wrecking.

Based on previous years of SDN forums, Baylor and San Antonio sent e-mails just after midnight. Houston apparently sent their notifications after 7AM. Thank goodness for e-mail technology. What if we still had to wait for an acceptance letter in the mail!?!?!?!
 
I have been hearing conflicting info when it comes to whether SA will extend acceptances on Dec. 1 or Dec. 3. Has anybody spoken to them recently??
 
Thanksgiving break in less than a week, and December in 14 days.....so hard to focus on school...well, anything at all right now 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱

Last I heard was that they are sending them out on Dec 1....
 
Dr. Segura came to talk to us at our pre-dent meeting and said December 3rd when someone asked. I think they changed their minds or something.

Woah really? During my interview on October 8th she specifically told us Dec 1st.... Guess they wanted to follow the trend.
 
Yeah, I confirmed today. SA is doing midnight Dec 3rd.
 
Houston is doing Dec 3rd too. Just dont know if its midnight or after 7am.

What I have heard from previous years is that Baylor and SA send out acceptances at midnight and that Houston sends out acceptances in the morning (7 or 8 am). I don't know what they will do this year...
 
2 more weeks, so nervous... Do you guys know if they'll tell us based on the interview that we weren't accepted or waitlisted? or just not receiving an email we should assume either of the 2?

They don't fill the entire class on December 3rd. That means that if you don't receive an acceptance that day, you could still be accepted later on...
 
UTHSCSA Dec 3rd interview notified today 👍

Just for everyone that has the itch to ask for info on the interviews, truth is no one is holding back. There are multiple interviewers and not always an exact "script" or "list" that they go off of, so being said, every interview is unique. Yes, there is one for formalities sake, but its rarely strictly followed (unless you REALLY dont give anything to the interviewer to work with). Best thing to do is to be yourself, be confident, be polite and prepare to sell yourself. Be interesting and be interested in the interviewer as well. The best interviews aren't interviews at all, but are conversations where your personality and ability to speak to others is reflected. My honest opinion is that interviews are mainly designed to not so much reiterate your accomplishments and eligibility but more to show that you're human with people skills and not some awkward robot.

But then again I may be wrong. My two cents.
