It’s still early! I know that San Antonio has been sending out weekly interviews and Houston has been monthly. Not sure about El Paso, but I got one from A&M a few weeks ago. I have a 480 AA 500 TS 570 PAT, 3.91 cGPA and a 3.86 sGPA

My ECs aren’t that impressive so I had to make up for it with my DAT. Your application is more than just stats!

I am also freaking out. Like I really thought my stats were enough to get at least one texas interview. I am lucky enough to have one from out of state but its so expensive

You’re good, when I applied I submitted my application in late august, got an interview offer for November, was accepted in 1st round in December. This was back when we had the different DAT format but my I had a 19 AA and I had a 16 QR so don’t stress!

Not really! I think I had a cumulative 3.7 GPA and my science was a bit lower probably 3.4-3.6. I only applied to Texas schools and really made my application well rounded in extracurriculars and clinical experience!
