allenofthetower Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 I clicked "Accept Application" just to see what would happen. Got a little nasty message that said there is nothing to accept. The button was so tempting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allenofthetower Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 I just remembered at the INFO SESSION earlier this Summer - she said they don't start looking at applications until after the September first. Our notifications and logins were all handled by the administration. They want to make sure everyone has met the academic requirements first and then the committee starts to look at everything fresh. I suspect UTMB will be the slowest, along with UTRGV - cuz, well it IS South Texas, after all. Used to work down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allenofthetower Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 The VALLEY is beautiful, but everything is at a much slower pace then what most folks are used to experiencing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they start looking at applications before the September 1st deadline because last year the first interview invites were sent out on July 26th. I'm starting to convince myself that the people getting interview invites don't use or pay attention to this forum lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ms225 Posted August 8, 2017 Author Share Posted August 8, 2017 Looked at the 2015-2016 thread and the first interview was received on August 10th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allenofthetower Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 I just found this site last night by accident. I just remember what she said - which was NOT much. She did her best to avoid answering any direct questions. She enjoyed being cryptic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just got me rejection email 10 minutes ago. Hurts a bit, but once you get rejected from all the schools the first time around you get used to it.

imrmaknojia Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 @allenofthetower what are your stats? GPA ? Scores? ...Man this wait is killing me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allenofthetower Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I read somewhere that if you apply to 1 school you have a 1-in-6 chance... if you apply to 8 you have a 38% chance. ALL CHOICES ARE LONG SHOTS. So I'm not thinking stats matter. I am way older than you can imagine and I've been to open houses where they pretty much gave me a hint that I'm out and wasting my time with them, but I am trying other tricks that might help. I've also read that if you are a 24-26-year-old white female - you fit 80% of the profile. But I think the closest thing to a sure thing is reapplying. I haven't heard of anyone reapplying and not making it. My science GPA is 3.67. My undergrad is from last century and not science related and I have a MBA. My GRE pretty much sucked in math so I'm retaking it Monday. My experience is from taking care of the elderly and being a combat soldier. So if someone is impressed with my record I have a chance - if they are strictly looking at another formula politically or otherwise, there isn't really anything I can do about it. So why worry? There's always Bio Tech grad school which pays more. Nothing happens by accident and God always has a window open somewhere. And its pretty much up to Him anyways. But I'm not writing down on you. I felt the same way when I tried out for the Special Forces... when you're young you tend to be more anxious than you need to be and when your old, you realize how much you should have waited. I'm sure the right school will nab you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
