bar_01 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I was invited for an interview for this Friday 07/24. What should I expect? Any group interview? Will I have to write an essay? How long did the interview take?... I will most definitely keep you update it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAJoeCool Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Hey you guys I just joined the forum. I am applying to UTHSC as well. I am super nervous because CASPA is still processing my transcripts but everything on my half is done.. I am just waiting on them. I tried to be as early as possible. I hope I still have a great chance. Congrats to all of those that received a letter to interview! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloud9Fox Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 AV10- can't give any specifics away because that would be unethical, but just come prepared to answer questions about yourself... Joe- you are not the only one. 1100 have applied , but only 80 caspas were verified about 2 weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAclassof2018 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I will be interviewing on August 7th! Could someone who has already interviewed give me a run-down of the schedule for the day? I know we are supposed to be there from 8-4 but I'm just wondering how the schedule of the day goes. I am flying from NY and the only flight out that night I can find is at 6pm so I'm worried about asking to leave a little early to catch my flight back... Any info on this would be helpful! Hopefully they are used to people leaving a little early to catch flights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloud9Fox Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Like I said, it's going to be a surprise, but they let those who have flights to catch go first. The group I was with that had those kind of people were done around 1:30pm-2pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they are used to people leaving a little early to catch flights? I was in a similar situation when I flew in for my interview. As Cloud9fox stated they will ask who all needs to catch a flight home and will allow those individuals to interview first. My flight was at 5:20 and I made it to the airport with plenty of time to spare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwb Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Hey guys - I'm just joining the forum. I interviewed on June 26th and am anxiously waiting to hear back. I submitted my CASPA on May 26, it was verified on June 1, UT emailed a confirmation receipt on June 2, and I got the interview invite on June 17. I hope this is helpful. Good luck to everyone!

jwb Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Do any of you have any opinions on the safety of Memphis in general? Especially around the school? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk You'll get mixed responses on this. I don't think safety is a huge issue; you just have to use common sense and be aware of your surroundings. It's a pretty big city, so there are neighborhoods that are safe and some that are not, and these can be right next to each other. The UT campus is a good example of this, so I wouldn't exactly recommend walking around by yourself at night. But there are people who do. You just need to get to know the area and I think you'll be fine. But again that's just my opinion - you'll probably get lots of different answers!

PattyMc19 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I interviewed in June as well... still anxiously waiting to hear back. It's been a long wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloud9Fox Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Memphis is generally safe. Just use your head and don't go into rough areas or walk around in strange places at night. Lived here my whole life and never had a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vandenbe Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Hey everyone, I just received an invite to interview on August 28. What's strange is that I royally messed up my application to Tennessee. I put two-word, silly answers in the CASPA questions section for TN, thinking I would remember to actually answer them later. I didn't and submitted my app. One face palm later and I've been granted an interview. I'm wondering if the schools even read the CASPA program questions. Anyway, looking forward to meeting other candidates! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmm9292 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Just received an invite this morning for an August 28th interview. Caspa verified 7/22. Received an email from UTHSC on 7/28 saying they had received my application. Excited to interview!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloud9Fox Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Called earlier today and they said that the admission commitee met last week and discussed what they wanted to do with the applicants that met on June 26th and July 10th. They sent their decisions to the dean for his verification and I was told that something would be decided in approximately 2 weeks. That is all I know... I don't recommend calling in and bugging them or they might not be so gracious when we call in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arae5 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Does that decision include all the candidates or just those from 6/26-7/10? I assume it includes all candidates thus far because they told me at my interview they meet at the end of each month. Anyone from the 7/24 interview heard anything or called lately?

Cloud9Fox Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 When I called they didn't mention that date, just the first two interview dates. They might have made a decision for that interview date too, but either way, we should know something in 5 days or so(ideally) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PattyMc19 Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I am also interviewing the 28th!!! Does everyone fly into the Memphis Airport and are there any recommended Hotels? Yes, fly in to Memphis. I stayed at a hotel that was near the school and the hotel was awful! If you are renting a car you can find nice hotels downtown and then drive to the school, its only a 5-10 minute drive. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
