jlheat3 Posted September 14, 2011 Author Share Posted September 14, 2011 Hi guys, just wanted to update you on some information: I called Tech and spoke with I think her name was Sherry, Although the deadline has been moved to Dec. 1, Interviews will begin to be set up in October and they will still be based on a rolling basis. Good luck to everyone :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeoTrion Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Jlheat, thanks for sharing the info. I am thinking that it might have been just a case of a little over ambitious date. You know what they say about the best laid plans. But it seems they just keep pushing things back. Prior to this they were suppose start setting up interviews in September for October. Hopefully the ball will get rolling soon..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thompsongroup3 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Midland said when they originally set the date at Sept. 1, they were hoping to get a jump on other programs and get early applicants that hadn't applied to other schools. She said they received a very low number of applicants (regardless of good or bad) because few people knew of the Sept. 1 deadline and so they pushed the deadline back to give more people time to apply. She said they are hoping to start interviewing in October, but no dates have been set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoTrion Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Thanks for the info. I haven't had time to do to much digging, but this is exactly what I had heard through back channels as well but I just couldn't confirm it. I don't know if this is good news or bad news for those that applied early.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kangak1 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 offered Oct 20th interview! anyone know of best flights to take? having trouble finding any evening flights from Midland back to either NYC, Baltimore, or Phila on the 20th.

NeoTrion Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Congrats kangak1!!!! May I ask when you turned in your stuff to them? I am just trying to figure out if you are on the early side or the later side. Zendyy I am right there waiting with you. But at least they have started the process! Flights are not as easy to come by. I just decided I would drive should I get an interview, but I also live in Texas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thompsongroup3 Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Congrats kangak1!! Would you care to share some info? When did you submit your application? Was this your first year to apply to Tech? What is your background? We are all hoping for an invite and it would be nice to get a little background. It gives us some sort of idea where we fall compared to those who are getting invites!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

courtney.luoma Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Lol. They were/are holding out for better candidates... Sucks to be us... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thompsongroup3 Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Courtney, I agree with you!! Really sucks to be us!! I wish people who have gotten an interview invite would provide some back ground info. I'm a licensed physical therapist with a 3.8 GPA. I must be missing something!!

jlheat3 Posted September 30, 2011 Author Share Posted September 30, 2011 I'm with you Thompson, I'm just not sure what they are looking for... I wonder how many dates they have filled. Does rolling admissions mean that if someone got an interview that sent out later than you did, that we are passed up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoTrion Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Well I am thinking differently about the whole issue. So far I have only heard of one interview invite, but I am open to being wrong about that. When you look at that invite that person lives on the East Coast, or at least appears to via their posts. It would make sense to notify them first due to logistical concerns. Of course things could be as simple as a couple of people getting a stack and just not making it through it yet. I have to admit that it is unusual for only one person to report back when interviews start. It has been my experience it is usually 3 or 4 that get the invite around the same time. This is especially odd considering the amount of people I know of that have all the qualities (GPA, Experience, ETC...) that haven't invited for an interview yet. Perhaps I am over reaching but it makes sense to comb through the out of state people first. In truth all we can do is give it some time and see what happens and share any info we come across. To be honest I am not panicking yet, especially since there are people that I consider equal or more qualified that haven't heard a peep either.

thompsongroup3 Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 I called Tech and asked that exact question, but really didn't get an answer. It was just a bunch of run around and that if I haven't heard anything by March than I would know they weren't interested. So, really no help at all!!!!

jlheat3 Posted September 30, 2011 Author Share Posted September 30, 2011 Thanks Neo.. I am usually more optimistic and I was thinking they may be filling the out of state first because when I called them a few weeks ago I thought it was Oct when they were sending out.. And I agree when they start sending interviews the post in the past has lit up.. I guess the anxiety comes from the date change..I'm glad this forum is here so we all have support from everyone. Good luck to all of us. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
