hay everyone just keeping yall updated i just received phone call from ttuhsc and she asked me if i had a preference for austin or dallas location and i said i would gladly go wherever they put me , and she said she can offer me a spot right this second in Dallas cohort if i accept so since im in Dallas i def. accepted! so im officially in the Dallas cohort if anyone else joins this cohort please let me know! and Fyi she did tell me if i wasnt able to do the dallas location she could still most likely offer me a spot in the ATX location , with that being said there still are a few open spots in the Austin location. so Austin is mot completely full.. ok hope this helps good luck!

That's great! I'm sure you are very relieved. And, how great is that that you get to stay in Dallas.

chapsam: THANK YOU. it was very stressful thinking id have to wait until next week to know! wish you the best!

That's awesome! What a relief! I'll keep you posted about the interview. I'm really curious about how many people they're interviewing for the remaining spots

ALIZMA: i think around 15-20 people they are still considering for the 7-8 remaining spots so if you have any patient care experience make sure you talk about that as well as any of your strengths because i have 4.0 gpa in science and pre recs and quite a bit of experience but my teas scores were pretty low like i think 74% and she said that they realized those were low but what got me in was my other strengths esp experience.. keep me posted!

Hey! I finally joined the forum after following it for the past couple weeks! I too got an email saying that my application was being reviewed for the Dallas location, and I am worried because I haven't gotten a phone call yet. How do you know that there are 7-8 spots left and do you know if they didn't have enough people interested from the austin interviews or are they just trying to create a new application pool or whats going on? lol I am concerned I haven't gotten any other feedback besides that one email!

[alisonceli]

Congrats on the acceptance!!! You must be so relieved...I can't wait to find out, so anxious!!

They told me I'm denied in Austin and being considered for Dallas and will know next week. I have no experience somim sure that's holding them back which sucks!!! Anyway, good luck to everyone!!!

ok so this is exactly what happened with my situation i received email saying i was being considered for dallas cohort, i emailed and asked if me being considered for dallas meant that i was no longer being considered for austin. i then received phone call almost an hour after sending that email and i was asked which location id prefer austin or dallas? and i said dallas. she then told me ok well you are accepted and we will send your official acceptance email etc etc... she explained that they are only considering certaian people for dallas cohort bc it is BRAND NEW and they are looking at certain qualities ( so thats great they contacted yall) and that is why not everyone that was at austin interviews was told about dallas cohort. with that being said she said there are about ten spots total in dallas and she had at that time only accepted to one other student. so thts why im saying theres prob about 8 spots left. hope this helps

alisonceli: a couple girls ( tht were not at austin interviews) said that the monday we started doing the austin interviews is when they recieved emails from tech asking them to come interview for dallas cohort. SO they revieved those emails before all the ATX interviews even took place, so i guess that could help to answer ur question "did they not have enough people interested from austin interviews" .. they were asking other people to interview for dallas before the austin interviews even started. i am impatient so i emailed them with questions like the day i received that email ha. hope this was somewhat helpful. good luck keep us posted please!

Hi everyone, it's taken me a while to get on here but I got accepted to the Austin cohort!

I'm so excited! I'm having trouble finding the facebook group so if anyone could help I would be sooooo thankful.

Hey Jennytmuw, sorry about Austin. I believe you are the one Gretchen told me about, I also got accepted to El Paso I also stay in Houston and will be relocating to El Paso. I'm hoping you're still considering El Paso because I believe there's still a spot for you and it would be nice to have someone along from Houston, best of luck with everything.
