Rule of thumb, is usually 4 weeks, as early as 2 weeks. I expect UAMS sending out email interviews the last week of Feburary, with interview dates in the first week of April. Sounds reasonable to me.

The director said they were swamped with applications the last week. She said at this time she had no solid dates of communication for interviews, start dates etc.

So looking at about 86K for in state and 123K for out of state.
Sounds about par for the course for a state institution.

I think new programs are only allowed so many spots starting out. I know Tulsa's new program will only have 15. Others choose to have low number of spots to better fit their program such as Gonzaga which only admits 12 a year. It also depends on the amount of clinical spots. Texas Wesleyan admits 120ish but they have a ton on clinical spots due to their distant education when you get into clinicals.

I'm still trying to get my last reference to submit their Letter of Recommendation.
I would have loved to have gone to the information sessions but they were always on days that I worked.
