wesr_gordon Posted June 20, 2014 Author Share Posted June 20, 2014 For anyone that was at the Q&A today (19 June), feel free to ask any questions that you couldn't get in there (we can get pretty long-winded when given the chance). If you don't want to post them here, feel free to message me. How many were there today BigOrange? I was told for my interview on the 24 of July that I am GROUP B.

BigOrangePA Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Only an estimate, but I'd guess 15. I believe that the July group will be the second round of interviews; that seems pretty consistent with last year's interview process. No need to worry, just be ready for yours.

ap095 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 For those of you that received interview invites, did you receive a confirmation e-mail stating that they receive all of your materials first? Or just an e-mail with their interview decisions? My application was verified June 13th, but I still haven't heard anything. Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was verified May 28th and they invited me June 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcardill Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Can you apply during your senior year if a degree is expected before matriculation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KOR91 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Just a heads up for those of you who received interview invites for Thursday, July 18th - that was a typo (the 18th is a Friday) the interview is actually Thursday July 17th! Hope no one has bought plane tickets yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hthompson Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Do any current students or anyone who knows the area have any suggestions on where to stay the night before interviewing?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomD Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Do any current students or anyone who knows the area have any suggestions on where to stay the night before interviewing?? I'm sure you will get a couple of answers and it will depend on what you are looking for. I wanted some place safe and was easy to get to UTHSC from since it was my first time in Memphis. The Microtel in Cordova was clean, safe and convenient to lots of shopping if you need it. It is right next to I-40 and is pretty much a straight shot to UTHSC. Problem is that it is 30-45 mins away depending on traffic, so plan to spend some time driving. I'm sure others will chime in, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soxman352000 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Just don't stay at the Motel 6 by the school unless you want to up your chances of getting body lice or getting shanked by a drunken homeless man. I personally would recommend either the Holiday Inn on Union Ave or the Comfort Inn in Germantown. As RandomD stated though, plan on giving yourself extra time if you stay out in the burbs.

KOR91 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I'm staying at the Holiday Inn on Union for the interview on the 17th. Any impressions of the program from the group that has already interviewed? Did anyone get any info regarding when they will make decisions for each round? Thanks!

hthompson Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Did everyone who had an interview scheduled July 17 get the email that it has been changed to July 31?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KOR91 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Yes, I got that email. Bummed that we have to wait another 2 weeks, but from what I saw last year, they didn't make the first round of decisions until all of the June & July interviews were over so it probably won't make a difference regarding decisions. Can't wait to get down there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLStoPA Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 I got it too that stinks for me because I'm presenting a poster in Chicago that day and now I can't make the interview. I'll have to wait for the second round which is a bummer. I'm just really happy I was lazy and didn't book my flights for the 17th! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMann Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 First acceptance letters are supposedly going out this week. To others interviewing later... I interviewed July 31 last year and got in on the first group so don't fret too much. I did hear that they had received ~750 apps so far to sort through.

JG08642 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 I also was notified the date had been changed to July 31st. Does anyone know when they inform you if you will be offered a seat? I know some PA programs notify the day of the interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jgaboria Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 When did everyone submit their CASPA? Mine was verified on 6/24 with my GRE scores sent on 7/2 and I have not heard anything from the program. Really hoping I hear something soon! Even a confirmation email would be nice at this point! haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even a confirmation email would be nice at this point! haha I would hope that you would hear something soon. If not, I would suggest getting in contact with the admissions coordinator (cjohn101@uthsc.edu). They may be slightly overwhelmed as they have already exceeded the amount of applications they received last year (Well over 900) So in short I guess I'm saying don't panic, but don't let it go without inquiring for too long.

jgaboria Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Thanks soxman... I did email the admissions coordinator over a week ago just simply stating I was wondering if I could have confirmation of my CASPA/GRE scores because I never received any correspondence but I didn't get a response. My GRE scores are competitive and I have 8,000 hours of direct patient care. I was hoping to hear something but I am not from TN and I do not have military experience. The only thing I could think of is that they are really looking at people in TN and people from underserved medical communities. But maybe they are working through applications that were submitted before mine. Hard to say. Wish I could hear something good, bad, or otherwise though!

FB123 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Give them a call. i emailed them on the 13th and received a response next day. Thanks soxman...
