Okay so the 35 invitations were for San Antonio? Thanks for the heads up! So has anyone heard from UNT?
Yes they were for San Antonio....and my letter said they only sent out 32 but they would interview 70 more in January. They said they will send those interview letters out by December 10th.
I still haven't heard anything from UNT!
texas tech has already started interviewing. I didnt apply for early decision and i have received information about an interview

When you say UNT is "calling ppl for invitations" does this mean they contact you by phone or is it through email ? Also have you already been contacted by them for an interview ?
When i called last week they told me that ppl will be contacted by phone. i havent heard anything but i know last year ppl were contacted at the end of oct
Congrats Sasky!!! When is your interview!!?
just wanted to check if anyone has heard from regular admissions to UTHSCSA or UNT. i know they have both have one set of interviews in nov. UTHSCSA said they would send out something by dec 10, which is only a few days away, but just wanna follow up if anyone has heard?
I interviewed with UNT on November 9th. They have told us we would hear something by December 20th. They will be doing another set of interviews in Feb/March. I suspect you would hear something by mid-Feb if offered an interview.
Sorry, I did not apply to UTHSCSA, but good luck!

Hey Sasky if you dont mind could you share your stats, I plan on applying there next cycle
Sorry for the delay, I have been traveling for the holidays...here are my stats:
A.Sc. in Biotechnology
B.Sc. in Molecular Biology and minor in Neurobiology
Working full-time in a molecular pathology lab while finishing B.Sc.
Overall GPA ~3.65, but is a little lower for UNT because they don't count foreign transcripts, I think for UNT it ends up being like 3.55 or something (sorry, my data is at home).
I have a total of 206 observation hours:
100 inpatient
26 peds
40 ortho outpatient
40 ortho/neuro outpatient
I had heard from another school that the fact I was working full-time while finishing my degree would be points against me, but UNT seemed to be okay with it. They seemed to have more non-traditional students (a little older, or second-career, or married, one had children, etc.) than the other school I interviewed at.

Thanks for posting your stats! I find it interesting that some schools would hold that against you. In my opinion, it should be viewed more favorable because you were able to find some sort of balance while achieving a solid GPA. Congrats on your acceptance and happy holidays!

jlfath, thank-you!
Regarding the work experience, I thought so as well! They told me that it was because they are concerned that I could not keep up with a full course-load. I made it clear in my personal statement that my first degree (in which just about every class had a lab) was done full-time, while working part-time and volunteering in the community, and I still graduated with a very high GPA from that school.

Does anyone have any thoughts on UNTHSC? I recently got the phone call about a spot in the class of 2016. I thought the campus and faculty were outstanding on the interview day. The only issue that concerns me is the unknown about their accreditation status. The program is up for accreditation before May when their first class graduates. It is hard to decide what to do because I felt comfortable there, but I would prefer to go to an accredited program for obvious reasons. What do y'all think??
Hey guys! Anyone going to the uthscsa regular admissions interview on january 3?
When I interviewed in November they said their next set of interviews will be in the beginning of March. They only contacted me two weeks before the interview date, so you will probably hear around mid-Feb if you have an interview. Or you could just email for an update! They are usually quick to reply! Good luck!
