Just wondering if anyone knows anything about UT Memphis. I called them last Thursday and the secretary told me that the adcom just met earlier that day and they hadn't sent out letters yet. Then she told me that she wouldn't be able to tell me anything over the phone anyway...I just have to wait (basically don't call back). Did anyone else apply here and know anything new? I've been accepted to an out of state school (Louisville), but obviously would rather have in state tuition.

The dentist I shadowed graduated from UT, and he said they told him about his acceptance a day after the interview. But then, it's been several years since...

hey congrate on your louisville acceptance, I'm invited for an interview? How's the interview like, is it like the old saying, if you get a interview you have a goot shot? I think they have a good clinically program. some tips will be fine. How did you like it out there, the people, students, building and just the school in general?
thanks

cross,
Are you talking about UT or Louisville? I'm assuming you meant Louisville, so...um...some tips...Well, there were about 15 other applicants interviewing with me and we were in this really crowded little room. The dean of admissions was really nice and the whole day was really non-stressful. We just went over financial aid stuff, went on a tour, had lunch and then had our interviews. One with a student, the other with a faculty member. No hard questions at all...very conversational. The people were all very friendly, and the students seemed to be very close. The building was nice I thought...maybe a little old, but still in good condition. The parking is horrible though. (esp. for students) Overall, I liked it very much. It is my second choice to UT only because of the tuition difference. The good news is that they accept a larger number of out of state applicants than the average state school. Something like 36 I think. I would say that if you interview you have a good chance of getting in. Good luck! (Not that I really think you need it! 😉 )

Well, I just got a letter from UT today. Looks like I'm in! 🙂 I guess they are just later than everyone else. It was postmarked for Dec. 8.

Hey congrate again, so you know were you want to go now? Thanks for the response, where did you stay and how many students are in their entering class. how's the area? too many questions, but once again I'm happy for you. great and please relax a little.

Cross,
I will most likely attend UT since the instate tuition is so little compared to out of state for Louisville. When I went to Louisville I stayed at some Suites that are brand new and so the price is very cheap ($49 I think). I think the name was Best Suites, and there was a coupon that I got out of a travel booklet at a rest stop/gas station. It was only like 5-10 min from the school. I think there are about 80 in the entering class, but their website will probably say for sure. The area is downtown, but it is safe as far as I know. I thought it was really nice. The whole medical complex is very nice inside and out. Again, good luck in the future! 🙂
