University of North Texas (UNTHSC/TCOM) Discussion Thread 2015 - 2016

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
From what I remember at my interview and hearing from those who have interviewed/current students, TCOM appears to be a match heavy school. Not sure if they are changing things up, but if they did this year, I hope we will all have a wonderful Christmas 😉
 
Just withdrew my OOS acceptance at TCOM.

Best of luck to those still waiting!

I got a snail mail letter saying i was rejected on friday... So for those of you interviewing be sure to act like DOs are the only kind of doctor there is.

I got interviewed by two MDs there. The first one basically went on a seven minute monologue about how MDs and DOs are the same, but there is this great divide between the two even though there shouldn't really be a reason for that nowadays, ha ha. XD
 
My status changed from "You have been invited for an interview" to "your application is under review" this morning so maybe the committee is meeting today?

Mine stayed under review for over three months after interviewing! I think it just means that they checked a box saying you interviewed. Hopefully the wait is much shorter this time of year.

Oh gosh, I hope so. I think we will hear back on match day on Feb 1.
 
I think the wait is going to be match day at this point. Will be able to check the rumor of "has been reviewed" silent rejection perhaps if it changes before match day.
 
Oh right, match day is sooner than I thought! I think I had to wait so long because I interviewed in July.

Also, I like Lights.
 
In my portal it says my application has been complete and received for months now. I have yet to hear back, should i take that as a silent rejection?
 
Hey Guys,
I was in the 11/20 interview day and have been checking much everyday online when I got a call today to go back to TCOM for a third interview. I didn't know medical schools did this. Luckily I am IS and not too far so I am going. Now I am a little worried though because they want another interview. Has anyone ever had a third interview?

That's so weird. I had two interviews on a single interview day, so have you had four already on two separate days? Or are you counting the two from your first interview date? Med schools don't usually call people in for another interview date unless you had a bad experience the first time and requested to interview again. You should call the office to get clarification!

I had the normal interview day with two interviews and have been waiting to see if I got in. Now I just got invited for one more interview with another interviewer. I thought both interviews were great which is why I was thrown by this. It probably means that one interviewer liked me a lot and another one had a different opinion. I just thought it was weird and assume its because I may be in the inbetween at the moment.

Adcoms don't operate that way. They give great deference to the interviewers. In fact, they just take the average if two scores differ, and if an interviewer gives you a poor score or makes negative comments, then there is simply no further consideration i.e. you're toast. Interviews are generally a one-day affair for applicants, even for special admits, so I'd be curious as to how this is happening.

Edit: I forgot a distinct possibility: One of your interviewers forgot to fill out/submit their score sheet and couldn't reconstruct your scores from memory, but the score sheet from the other interviewer was (obviously) positive enough for the committee to consider you a viable candidate.

I would have to say so. I was complete 6/20 with no portal change at all, so we probably got silently rejected
 
Just withdrew my acceptance. Good luck to anyone still waiting!
 
Is there a FB group for Class of 2020!? We should start one!
 
Previous threads do mention an official Facebook page started by TCOM...I'm not 100% sure but I think last year's came out in February.
 
Will be giving up my spot, best of luck. Hope it goes to one you guys!
 
Accepted 11/17!!!!

Kind of an underdog so I was worried- 3.2 GPA, 22 MCAT, URM, Interviewed 10/22
Still waiting to hear from the other TX schools I interviewed at but I was blown away by this school on interview day and would love to end up here!

Edit: Mixed up accepted and interviewed dates.
