Hi everyone! So I applied to UT Dallas really early, around November, and my application status on the Galaxy portal hasn’t changed from “application complete” for about 3 months now. I keep seeing that people have been hearing back since early January and I’m starting to think there’s no point in waiting anymore. I emailed them and asked about it and they said they’d be sending out decisions up until mid April but still...is it likely that more waves of acceptances will come out or do have they pretty much decided/sent them all?

I emailed them about that actually and they said we’ll be receiving a letter in the mail with the info (which seems unnecessarily complicated) and it should be coming within the week. I’m also planning on declining but I was just going to email them back the form

I submitted in November and the status on my portal has stayed at “completed and ready for review by department” for months, I’m not sure what to do or expect!!

I never got a confirmation email but if you selected the interview time on the link they sent it should be fine! They’re pretty responsive to emails too if you wanted to confirm. I’m pretty sure it’s 1 on 1 interviews, and they’re only 15 minutes long. I found an old page on ASHA from Georgia State explaining how they do their interviews. It’s about ten years old but it sounded really similar to how they described it for this round of interviews. Basically there’s a team of interviewers and each interviewee is asked the same general questions, like why GSU/speech pathology and what you like to do outside of school and qualities/goals that would work at GSU, and maybe some follow up questions. There shouldn’t be any knowledge based questions or anything. I don’t know if the current interviews are the same but from my experience, schools don’t like to change the way they do things so I’m assuming it’ll be pretty similar haha

They were very laid-back about doing a video interview! They did not offer me one either, but I emailed them and asked if they provide any accommodations for applicants who are too far to attend in-person. I was panicking about it too but as soon as I said it was too far for me to travel, they offered to do it via Zoom. If you ask, I am sure they'd be very understanding! Not everyone has the ability to travel that long with such short notice.

Hi everyone! I have an interview with Georgia State in a couple weeks and I was wondering if anyone knew how their interviews usually go? I’ll be doing a video interview since I’m out of state, so I’ll be missing the tour and everything and I feel like that may put me at a disadvantage. Does anyone who interviewed last year or before know what kind of questions to expect? Thank you!!

I saw that the poll had been deactivated too, but I get the feeling that they likely just deactivated it in general and made a new one all together, which makes me think an entirely new email was sent out to those getting interviews. I want to email Dr. Ivey just to confirm but I’m sure she also got a bunch of emails about this and I don’t want to be another panicked applicant in her inbox hahaha plus I heard the interview is really just for funding? And it doesn’t actually impact the admission decision

So this morning Houston sent out the interview invite to every applicant and then recalled the message, stating error on their part. Dr. Ivey emailed everyone saying that not getting an interview does not indicate a rejection, but wasn’t very clear on if we were absolutely not getting an interview. I couldn’t tell if she mass emailed everyone or if she only emailed those who the original email was not supposed to go to. Does anyone know if they sent out a new interview email as of yet? Thank you!!
