Received formal invitation via email to UTA's interview day in February.

I received a phone call from a faculty member, not mentioned in my statement. He asked me questions such as why UTMB, future career goals, as well as answering my questions about the school. He told me to expect an email from admissions about an interview. Really excited!!! This is my top choice!

Would the UT-Austin poster mind sharing their P.I. initials? Also, in general, it is very helpful to everyone to include PI initials with submissions. Thanks and congrats!

After a phone pre-interview with the P.I., I received an invitation via e-mail.
