I have just received an interview invitation for the Bryan campus. This is my second time applying, and it looks like I paid my secondary fee on the 19th of July, so I assume I was complete around then. My LizzyM is around ~66 but I have an unusual transcript and am a nontraditional student. I have an MS from A&M and a long family history of Aggies, so I'm pretty excited for this opportunity.

Congrats! I'm excited for you. Wow! You deserve this shot. Make the most of this opportunity, I know you will.

Just as a side note- I don't know if your profile picture is a stock photo or not, but coupled with mentioning your statistics and your picture, I would change your profile picture to retain anonymity. The internet is a creepy place sometimes, unfortunately. Having a generic profile picture is a safeguard against harassment, identification, etc.
 
Just got my II yesterday! Lizzy M ~71, IS (but graduated OOS), ORM. I'm scheduled for the 15th, anyone else?

Also, how was interview day for everyone who just came back?

Received a II today! Interviewed here last year. PM me if you have any specific questions.

Nice! This got me thinking though. I wonder if IIs are sent out automatically all at the same instances from a generated list or are they being sent by one of the staff memberd manually. I'm wondering because if cdal325 received his II today, that means don't stay up wondering about any emails later?
 
Anyone here applying MD/PhD? My application in the admissions portal still says pending even though I submitted the secondary application and fee weeks ago. Is there anything else we need to do after submitting the secondary?
 
Anyone know how much the interview matters here? Didn't do too hot on this one :(
 
Got grilled with political questions and ethical questions one after the other. I must have been asked at least 7 per interviewer. I really loved the school too :/

Real sorry to hear that happened. Chin up, it's said interviewees aren't often good gauges of how well they interviewed. Just see how it pans out!

I really pray it works out! I've (as I'm sure you have) heard of many who thought they bombed the interview but were among the first to be accepted! I pray you hear good news on November 15!

Can you remember any specific questions they asked you? Sorry if this is a sore subject, I'm sure you did better than you thought =)
 
How heavily does A&m prematch? I have my interview very soon, and it would take a lot of weight off of my shoulders if I heard something in Nov.

A&M was my first interview and I did not sleep at all(literally 0 sleep) the night b4. I was super nervous and didn't have sleep. Blew the interview. I cringe every time I think about it.

I've been trying to remember for future interviews, but I think my brain wants those memories gone lol. I don't really remember any of the hard ones :/

I'm surprised my experience isn't the only one though. I wonder how much the interview plays into the final decision

Some of the questions they asked me are on the sdn interview feedback page for A&M. I think they have an extensive list of questions that each interviewer has to ask. Expect to get at least a couple of tough questions that will make you think in both interviews.

It only shows up once the school indicates you have been interviewed (which took like 4 weeks before TCOM showed up for me)

Are there any current students that can give unique or special features of the school that set it apart? Or anybody who has interviewed already? I have an interview at Temple this Thursday. Thanks in advance.

I'm interviewing the same date as you, but I've done research based on friends/family friends of mine who have matriculated. I'd really look into the AIM Integrated Program curriculum, that's pretty unique.

That's awesome, congrats! When did you submit/was it a portal update or did ya get an email?

It was an email, complete end of July. So I wasn't aware there is a temple campus, is it just for clinicals or is the class split?
