I received an interview from UT Houston yesterday. They currently only had three interview dates - 8/27, 9/3, and 9/10. The method of interview is in-person. Also want to mention that in my email, they say, "This invitation is for an 'in-person' interview at our school." I am a Texas resident, so based on these two things, I believe they would also have the option for virtual interviews for OOS applicants

Hey just a heads up to new applicants -- UTSD just changed their attendance policy, and the students' lifestyle has gotten a bit more challenging to manage. I recommend asking them about it during your interview, so they can explain it to you clearly. If you're not the kind of person who learns well sitting in a lecture hall/classroom, be aware you are still required to be present at pretty much every session (you get 4 personal/sick days per semester, where you still need to make up any labs, quizzes, or exams).
