@Striving4Awesomeness I went to the 09/30 interview, if they haven't changed the format then The UNT interview is a one on two interview. It's you interviewing with one faculty and one current DPT student. Both the faculty and the student ask you questions, "typical PT questions", nothing really to throw you off, just trying to get to know you and see if you would be a good fit. I think it lasts about 20 min if I remember correctly. It's also a blind interview meaning the professor and the student only know your name and that's it, they haven't read your file.
At the beginning there's a presentation of the program, then depending on your group number you either go to the campus tour, the interview, or the student panel (DPT students come in the room and you can ask them questions). At the end all the faculty come in the room and present themselves and you can ask them questions.
Somewhere earlier in the forum, within the first 3 pages, @beyoutiful_sunshine described how the interview day was set up.Is there anyone who interviewed at UNT who can tell me what it's like? I'm not sure what to expect. The other school I'm interviewing at at least told me it's a panel interview, so I can mentally prepare a little. What kind of questions do they ask? Is it a one on one, panel, or group interview? Thanks in advance!
I'm going to go to the interview. I really love the UNT location and since I went to Rice for my undergrad, I want to try a new location instead of doing grad school basically right across the street from where I go to school now. UNT has been my first choice, so I definitely want to go there if I can.It was a good interview. They knew nothing about you and you had a private interview with a professor and a student. Questions were reasonable, no curve balls. The facilities are nice and modern and Fort Worth seems like a good place to live. There are interprofessional opportunities with the PA students and the medical school is nearby.
@RiceOwl02 are you going to the interview or are you definitely going to TWU?

Thanks a bunch! Did you like it there? I'm excited to check it out.
I'm also waitlist at UTEP, so that makes 4 waitlists: UTEP, UTMB, Tech, and Chapman
Oh my ...And I thought I was having a hard time with anxiety. Lol hopefully you'll get into your top choice. I just have to think that being on four waitlists (although an agonizing wait) you'll make it! As everyone settles down and makes those final choices, you can find a home.I'm also waitlist at UTEP, so that makes 4 waitlists: UTEP, UTMB, Tech, and Chapman
Nope! I emailed them and they just said something along the lines of "you're very lucky to make it this far, there were 470+ applicants any you are one of 'several dozen' candidates chosen for alternate status". They also said we could expect to hear from them anytime from now to the start of classes (May 30th) if a spot opens up...so the wait contiinues. Just praying!!I'm also waitlist at UTEP, so that makes 4 waitlists: UTEP, UTMB, Tech, and Chapman
I really hope UTMB sends out emails soon.... it is the last school I am waiting to hear from.

Alternate for UTEP. Not great, but not bad. I wish I had a way to know who is going to accept their position. This wait is killing me haha
What up?! I'm into UTEP as well. Contact info? Trying to get every one together.I'm guessing by now if we haven't heard back from UTMB post-interview, we didn't make the top 100 waitlist? Has anyone heard anything? (also I received an offer of admission at UTEP today)
I got accepted to UTEP!!!!
For sure, I'll let you know if I get in!Let me know if you got into UTEP. Trying to get everyone together.

Oh that's awesome!! Congrats!I have accepted my offer to UNT, but I'm also waiting to see if I hear anything more about my current waitlist status at UTMB, UTSW, & UTHSCSA
Still waiting for news from UTMB as well so unless I hear soon I will probably be accepting the UTEP offer!
Kinda late but I just checked my email and received an invitation to the Feb 3rd. interview date for UNT yesterday morning at 10:15! God is Goood!!!
ohh you received it in the mail?Well, got the formal rejection letter from UTSW, so now, we wait on the 4 waitlists.
Literally about to implode over here lol.I guess no word this week from UTMB?
No but I asked a while ago and was told they were closing the cycle out and that I probably got a rejection. I just got the email a couple days ago.ohh you received it in the mail?
oh gotcha. I received one a couple days ago saying I was waitlisted, they would be reconsidering my application over the next several days, and let me know their final decision in a few days. So stressful.No but I asked a while ago and was told they were closing the cycle out and that I probably got a rejection. I just got the email a couple days ago.
Literally about to implode over here lol.
Anyone else finally put in their UTEP deposit after all this time and is officially a part of Class 2020?
I feel like I keep posting the same question about UTMB but checking this thread to see if anyone has been accepted recently is one of my only ways of knowing if I will remain on the wait list.
I put my deposit down already also!Yep, fixing to do it tonight. Guess we'll be UTEP Class of 2020 classmates!
