Applicant Interview Day
Invitation and Schedule
All interview invitations will be extended via email. Once you receive an invitation and choose your interview date, you will receive confirmation no later than 24-48 hours prior to the interview date you selected. To maintain a fair and equitable process for all applicants, the College of Medicine utilizes a virtual interview process, ensuring quality virtual experiences that showcase our campus and allow applicants the opportunity to engage with our faculty, staff, and students.
A typical interview day begins at 8:15 am, ending around 3:00 pm Below is a sample schedule.
- 8:15 - 8:40 am: College of Medicine Welcome and Overview with the Office of Admissions
- 8:45 - 11:45 am: Morning Interview Appointments

As detailed above, our virtual interview day will consist of morning and early afternoon activities, including admissions presentations, two one-on-one interviews with members of the Committee on Admissions, and a virtual tour of our campus and clinical training sites led by current medical students. Note that all activities are in central time and interview times and the names of interviewers will be shared during the overview session.
Our Goal
We hope that interview day is an exciting and informative experience for every candidate. Not only do we strive to learn more about each candidate during interviews, but we also want to showcase our amazing campus and program. Through various activities, we hope that each candidate walks away confident that UT Health Science Center College of Medicine is the right fit for them.
Post Interview Expectations
The Office of Admissions will accept interviewer thank you letters via email at comadmissions@uthsc.edu. Thank you notes should be in PDF format. Candidates who are placed on the alternate list may also email updates/letters of intent in a PDF format.
We utilize a rolling decision model, so every applicant can expect to hear back from us about two - three weeks after their interview day. Decisions will be sent to the email address on file within AMCAS, so be sure it is up to date.
The College of Medicine does not require a deposit. All accepted students should indicate their commitment through the AMCAS Choose Your Medical School (CYMS) tool, following the appropriate protocol.
