aba1984 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 I haven't heard anything yet either. Keep in mind that their interviews are not until February 6 and they interview all the way through March, so they are not in a rush like the schools that have January interviews. If we get interviews, I think we should hear in the next 3 weeks or so. Chill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

micromajor2011 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Yes one thing I've learned this process is to be patient and don't get discouraged This is my second time around applying so I know what it's like to get no interviews. Hopefully you get some good News soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aaabbbccc88 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 micromajor 2011, have you had your interview yet. how did it go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ss2player Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I'm in the airport after my interview right now! I really loved the program, they sold it well and all the grad students seem very happy. The structure was standard but I was impressed by how accesible and friendly the faculty and staff were; I never felt lost or left out. Plus the resources there and reputation speak for themselves. Hope you all get invites! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micromajor2011 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Yes I just left the interview weekend today. In my opinion it went very well. If you get the chance to interview don't stress so much about it. Just know your own work well and ask questions about their work and it will go smoothly for most. I had a great time. It's an excellent university filled with really nice and intelligent people. I wish you luck and hope you get an invite also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themachine Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Anyone got an idea of post-interview offer rates for UTHGSBS? Very selective or is an interview invite almost enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ss2player Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Anyone got an idea of post-interview offer rates for UTHGSBS? Very selective or is an interview invite almost enough? One student said they offer acceptances to most interviewees. So estimate 70% or higher? It's hard to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themachine Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Would that be for both domestic and international interviewees would you know? I`m international so interviewing by Skype soon. On another note, were you able to meet with many of your prospective POI for interviews? I`m also interested in immunology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On another note, were you able to meet with many of your prospective POI for interviews? I`m also interested in immunology. I can only speak for domestic. I met a handful of international folks there, however, so I know the school must take a decent number. I got everyone I asked for (Lizee, Schluns, Chandra, and Curran). If you want to know anything about them specifically, I can PM you. Shamrock_Frog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaabbbccc88 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Hi. Does anyone know if they are done with interview invites. Every time I ask they tell me my app is still under review. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micromajor2011 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I can tell you there are two more interview weekends one more feb 22 and one march 1. Honestly if you don't hear anything by late February it might be a bad sign sorry, I hope it works out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aba1984 Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 (edited) I am officially going to give up on trying to email UT Houston and just assume a rejection since their last interviews are coming up in 3 weeks. At least the application was $30, so I am not too sad about not getting any replies. I was looking forward to moving to Houston, but since now I only have one interview in Houston, my time will be better spent on focusing on my Baylor interview instead. If anyone interviewed at Baylor but decided on another school, please share some advice about your interviews. I would deeply appreciate it.

themachine Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Out of interest, did the GSBS pay for flights to and from Houston for interviewees or is it just food and accommodation covered? And if so, did they book flights themselves or reimburse you for your prepaid flights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
