Should we all allow this rejection to stop the delusion train? Perhaps it was just a mistake and they meant to invite us all to interview 😎😎

I think we’ll get an email tomorrow that says “sorry but we actually meant to send you a pre-II A”

UTSW clearing the decks... we knew it was coming, guys, but it's still disappointing.

I like the way you think, we should include uno reverse cards

pre II R

 

[harry_potter138]

IS pre-II R

 

[tryingmybestest]

IS pre-II R adding to the trend haha

 

[Storming]

OOS pre-II R earlier today. Complete 6/28.

 

[2023applicantxd]

First rejection of the cycle! Pre-II R OOS. Still got interviews at Dell, Baylor, and Long though, so it doesn’t sting too badly.

Give ‘em hell, @2023applicantxd!

My king 🫡

 

[domicileMD]

First R of the cycle, Pre-II, IS

 

[mrm123]

does anyone know how many prematch offers they have already sent out and whether they are still going to send more?

This is never known for any school.

Only school I have ever seen publish an ongoing tracker is university of michigan and they do it in a very public way.

Thank you, was just seeing how realistic it was to get a prematch offer at this point in the year and whether they are still sending them out.

There will be at least one round if not 2 before match. They do it once a month.. Next one will be just before christmas.

Pre-II R, also weird in the exact same situation.

I am not involved in admissions decisions, only a volunteer for our admitted student visit days

We have visit days in early January, early March, and then in April

So I assume we have another round of prematches going out ~1-2 weeks before the January visit day

 

[earthair02]

Which should we prioritize attending if we are planning a visit: a visit day or MS0 weekend?

wouldn't MS0 weekend be only for those who have committed or matched?

There looks to be a more robust program for MS0 weekend but they explicitly say you will only get to see clinical sites/the sim center on visit days

 

[stere0psis]

wouldn't MS0 weekend be only for those who have committed or matched?

From what I can tell only those who've prematched are invited to MS0 weekend

 

[ejs2000]

a little late to the party, but got the pre-II R earlier this week. Good luck to everyone still in the running here!

 

[hilwaytwo]

Based on the FB group, there's about ~120 students in there currently (half the class size). But there may be students that prematched that didn't join the group, etc.

 

[CopperSands]

There are also admins and current students in the group

 

[Rite1234]

Just finished my interview here. My first interview was super chill, while my second grilled me. I am pretty excited with this school and will definitely have to play around with my TMDSAS rankings.

thoughts after the student panel? I ended up liking the school much more afterward

 

[Rite1234]

The student panel definitely made me like the school more. The school seems so interested in scientific research and all the nitty gritty science, so to speak, and while I am interested in it, I can't say that it is really me. At the same time the wealth of opportunities and the access to competitive specialties is something I simply cannot ignore. I also felt that UTSW helps students foster a community even though the class size is huge, which interests me. I know I was struggling between UTSW and UTMB, and I think, as of now, I would rank UTSW over UTMB. If I pre-match to either, then I would definitely revisit my ranking. My heart and mind are telling me two different things as of now and I definitely need to sit and think about my rankings.

 

[rocketene]

I would attend MS0 if you want to meet current students since it's run by students and 2 days long.

Visit day if you want to see Parkland (the hospital), visit days are run by UTSW staff.

I will add that UTSW is working on expanding their research opportunities in other areas; they just opened a school of public health this year and are expanding the MD-MPH collabs + adding PhD programs in public health next year. But our health equity type research is not as good as some other texas schools

I wouldn't use the FB group as a marker of how full the class is. It's more than half current students (the volunteers organizing MS0/helping with visit days for the new class), UTSW staff, and UTSW admin in that group.

post-II R

 

[burneracc]

Post II R... was my No. 1 Yikes

 

[timidtabby]

Post II R. Didn’t know these were sent out :/

 

[appthiscycle]

Sorry to hear. If you don’t mind me asking when was your interview date?

 

[wysdoc]

Sorry about this news, @swimdoc23, @burneracc and @timidtabby

Many OOS folks who interview here will end up disappointed, unfortunately.

If you're IS, now you know not to rank UTSW for your Match List, or if the portal won't let you drop it off, rank it last

 

[timidtabby]

Sorry to hear. If you don’t mind me asking when was your interview date?

I’m in-state, interviewed 8/26. My understanding was that all interviewees are considered through the match. Has UTSW sent post-II Rs in the past? Any more thoughts on this?

Sorry for the news. I was wondering about the same thing because I looked online everywhere and thought that if you get an Interview you don't get rejected and the worst thing that can happen is getting waitlisted

 

[wysdoc]

It's uncommon for the TMDSAS schools, but UTMB & UTSW have sent some.

In a round-about way it helps you not to use up your Rank spot on UTSW if they have already decided they won't be ranking you highly.

Has your portal changed at all? Didn’t know this could happen either

I dont remember UTSW issuing post II -Rs in the past. It looks like they are adopting some new practices which kind of kills hope.

Remember we only see through the viewfinder of peeps 🐥 who post on SDN.
Has it happened before? I don’t know

We tell people they have a shot until May 15th. This kind of changes things in terms of some not even having a shot for match.
