Jennifer01 Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Has anyone else received an interview? Does anyone know if they send out interview invites for the same date in waves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Application was under review June 11th. To my understanding they send invites in waves for the same interview date. I wonder if they are going in order like last year... I submitted 5/29 and was verified on the 30th and then under review on June 8th... So I kind of hope they aren't going in order since I haven't heard anything from them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, mine was also under review on the 11th, but got that email late afternoon so hopefully that’s the reason and they send out another wave soon! Fingers crossed because this is my top program! Anyway, nothing to do but wait and good luck to those who already have interviews! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JenBrook Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Congratulations! That is great news! I believe Sept 15th is also the date of the UTSW Sept interview session. I am surprised that two local schools would have the same interview dates. Has anyone seen the other planned interview dates for UNTHSC interviews?

Yeah, I just double checked and it looks like UTSW has interview dates on Sept 14th/15th... That seems weird that they would hold interviews on the same day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JenBrook Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 (edited) Thanks for double checking that, Jennifer. I hope UNT will post their interview dates like UTSW does. Edited July 4, 2018 by JenBrook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aochs4 Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Hello everyone! I was just wondering how many of you are out of state and whether or not this affects one's chances of getting accepted?Good Luck to you all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just wondering how many of you are out of state and whether or not this affects one's chances of getting accepted?Good Luck to you all! So I know all public Texas medical schools must admit 90% from in-state due to receiving funding from the state. This means that at the max, only 10% of out-of-state applicants get in. I have seen other posts stating that public Texas PA schools have to follow the same guidelines. Some state that if you get an interview everyone is essentially on common ground. But they tend to be more picky about out-of-state applicants due to the percentage accepted. I am not 100% on any of this as it's all speculation! However, looking at the FAQ page I did find this: Do you accept out of state residents? Do you have any particular number of assigned seats for in-state as well as out of state students? Yes, we accept out of state students. However, we do not have a particular number of assigned seats for in-state or out of state students. Residency is not one of the criteria used in evaluating candidates for entry into the PA program. Again, I cannot attest to the validity the claims, it is just what I've seen others discuss. But this is directly from UNT's website, so I'm not sure what else you can go off of. Regardless, best of luck!
