Does this school even have a social?
There is a student-run social the evening before from 6:30-8:30 with first and second year students.

Interesting! Also just fyi, UTSA and UTHSA aren't affiliated with each other- one is the undergrad campus and the other is the med school so just don't get it mixed up if you interview here since it annoys some peopleI really love the school! I saw Dr. Kelkaway's interview on YouTube and she is so nice and I watch America's YouTube channel (ever single video) so I feel like I know a lot about your school and how you guys work. I'm in love with UTSA. Also, I visited utsa quite often growing up because I was a science fair nerd and that's where state science fair competitions were held

Was your interview today?Also
The interview day at Long is way above expectations. They feed you well, like real food and everyone here is super nice and chill. Dr. K puts a lot of effort into this and everyone I talked to left the campus with better view of the school. Plus, they ended with ice cream!
Was your interview today?
Did any of you interviewees today get to talk to MS1s? How'd you find us?!
Hey, not every school has an MS1 like me on SDN to love u guysThat's a lot of questions.

Lol IMO it's very general but whatevs. He's such a nice guy! Just because you have a lot of interviews...stay kind!

Lol. Stay kind? Not sure if joking or serious. But I've been pretty 'kind' I think. And it's not really general. Two people on here already know who I am in person (tbh it's probably way more) cos you run into a lot of the same folks on the interview trail.
But yeah. Id be nice from here on

How was the social? Is it a pretty chill thing where we can wear shorts/collared t-shirt? Not familiar with how formal the restaurant is
Also, 2x 30 min interviews where they can see only essays right?

Your interview will be open file. When I interviewed, an MS4 had my file pulled up on his computerHow was the social? Is it a pretty chill thing where we can wear shorts/collared t-shirt? Not familiar with how formal the restaurant is

Ladies and gents, it isn't playing by the rules of SDN to try to figure out who someone is by asking too many personal questions. Anonymity gives everyone the freedom to be honest on here with their requests for help. @BlackOrthoSurg is right, chill with the prodding questions.It is revealing info

anyone that interviewed...was the interview laid back? high stress? conversational? any tips?
They were really just conversations (e.g. "Tell me about x, y, z experience.") and it flowed from there. I will say that a few other interviewees did get "tougher" interviewers who were less eager to talk. Overall, though, very laid back, conversational interviews across the board.

Yes, everyone has 1 faculty member and 1 MS4! Mine were both great. Dr. Kellaway told us that they don't like to ask curveball questions and really just want to get to know us! I think tough interview questions here are rare.So the interviews are done by a faculty member and an MS4? Would you say that the interviewing style varies between these two people?
There's definitely an MS4 on an interview, and your other person will be either an MD or a PhD in faculty, or someone in higher administration (not 100% sure), or even an MD/PhDSo the interviews are done by a faculty member and an MS4?

They've cancelled the interviews for tomorrow.
Haha chill. They'll set a new date.Oh no! Does this mean that that's one less interview date available for other applicants? Or will they have an extra interview date in January to make up for this?

Hopefully this hurricane doesn't dwindle my chances for an interview invite even more lol. It's nice they are rescheduling for everyone supposed to interview tomorrow. I think there's a med school that hasn't cancelled their interview date yet.

They called and said we would be able to reschedule for a date in September and that there were a lot of spots still open. They also said they wouldn't send out any more IIs until they've made sure they have enough spots for us in September. We just need to look out for our emails where they'll send info about rescheduling.
Ohhhh so this does mean that it reduces the chances of those who haven't heard back yet.

Yeah, so I just got the email to choose from one of the September dates. It was around 40 people that have to reschedule so I hope this doesn't really affect the other applicants. But I'm sure they'll think of something to not reduce the chances for everyone else
Best of luck dude
Thank you! This gives me hope. This was the safest and best decision for the school to make.
