UT houston spring 2010 hopefuls

Published

hi there, I'm a spring 2010 UT houston hopefull, I'm trying to see who else is embarking on this journey so we can support each other. I really enjoyed tracking the Fall 2009 class, and I hope we can do the same. I still have a few classes to take. I am currently taking chemistry. As of now my science GPA is 3.33, and overall gpa is 3.61. I am taking the net in May.

Can't wait to hear from others.

i almost wish i didn't know now! that makes me even more nervous! we should know before the thanksgiving holiday right? (i know they kept stressing november 15th, but since that's a sunday i don't think letters are going out that day)

also...i was thinking about it earlier, once they choose who gets interviews is everyone pretty much on an equal playing field? or do you think they still factor in grades and net scores along with your interview to make the final decision?

I am still waiting on my letter. They said they were running another report today for all of those who took their NET after Sep 1st so I guess any day now......yikes! I should be getting one.....time to start stalking the mail man again

Also....could one of you remind me what they sadi about interview dates? I think CJBarnes said they do interviews all of September and beginning Oct? I am not sure....just curious when we should know if we got in to the program

i think interviews go through october....when i was there for my interview they kept saying letters will be sent out november 15 (although this is actually a sunday) i'm sure they were just saying this to stress we will find out in the middle of november

I had my interview day rescheduled to October 5th. The lady I spoke to said it was the only available day. Don't know if that means it's the last though.

Specializes in none as of yet, hoping for ped oncology!.

I was told they would be doing interviews through the middle of October, but I'm wondering if they will run later because of the later NET test dates?

i think they stress the middle of november just so they don't start getting calls in mid or late october wondering about when letters would be sent out. i have a feeling though, that we'll know by late october/early november. the way the admissions coordinators were talking about it, i think they'll try to push the letters out as quickly as possible.

hmmm... well if they only interview around 300 applicants, and there are usually 25 applicants interviewed per day, then they only need 12 days to go through everyone. so i'm guessing that the bulk of the interviews will be over in early/mid october. okay enough number crunching...i have to study! :p

I guess if we all get in the same class, we can be assured that we'll never be late...for anything, hah.

i'm not sure if that makes sense...what i mean is do your grades and test scores only get you an interview, then the interview alone gets you a spot in the program?

I think they'll still look at everything... I guess it depends on how competitive the applicant pool is. If they can decide right away on who they want to admit, then I think they'll just look at the interview. If the applicant pool is very competitive, they'll dig back into the test scores, grades, resume, and interview to set the applicants apart from each other.

Woohoo! I thought I was completely out, but I got an interview letter. I'm supposed to be there at 11:30 next Wednesday, 9/30. Now, if I can only get out of work, as I also have something that day that cannot be rescheduled.

toaster bell-

when did you take the NET? Also how did you do on the NET and what are your GPA's again? I took the NET Sep 12th so I am trying to see if anyone who took it after the 1st has gotten a letter yet. Gracias
