2022-2023 UT Tyler

[session6]

If one grew up in an identified region of East Texas about an hour from Tyler....would that be weighed the same?

Nobody can say for certain, but I believe they have emphasized essentially Smith and adjacent counties

they have the map- if you’re ETX / adjacent it’s seemed to be about the same

 

[Dr.Hollywood]

Just pre matched !

Are they still calling people or email?

How do I message privately on here? 😅 I would like to join the group!

Hmm it's kind of hard to know exactly what, but I know my essays and LOR's were strong. I think my interviews went great too. But that's about it haha sorry if that's no help

In State ?

 

[acute_puppy]

Has anyone from the September dates who weren't prematched in the first batch been prematched yet? Putting the call out there for people who haven't posted they were prematched yet

 

[notAdoc_yet]

In State ?

Yes!

Does anyone know if tomorrow’s interviewees will have a chance at prematching? 🤔

I believe they review all applicants after each interview for prematch consideration! So I don't expect them to stop now

[Sonarka]

The deadline for Texas Pre-matches is 1/31 per TMDSAS rules or something.

 

[cranberrylimeade]

I wish match day was still in February🙁

 

[wysdoc]

I wish match day was still in February🙁

It used to be, until they moved the TMDSAS deadline from Oct 1 to Nov 1.
I agree, the cycle stretches out too long.

I prematched to UT Tyler back in December, is there a groupme?

 

[Unconditionalloves]

I am very much looking forwards to my re-application meeting with Tyler.

 

[hadv3r]

I am very much looking forwards to my re-application meeting with Tyler.

Honestly I think something that’s important (maybe more important than direct ETX ties) is showcasing your commitment to rural primary care for this school or at the very least showing you have longitudinal healthcare experience in ETX.

Looking back at my application, pretty sure I only received an interview was because they saw I was from ETX and sent an auto invite. But after the interview they probably went back and gave my app a deep dive and could tell I didn't have any rural healthcare experience and minimal primary care. Also I went to college outside the region and all my experiences are in urban settings.

Guess what I'm trying to say is this school seems to be one of the very few that actually looks for mission fit above everything else. I wouldn’t take it as your application not being good enough, but more so they’re really looking for a specific applicant and I respect that.

Congrats! When did you interview?

 

[wantstobeaphysician]

so half of all the seats are already filled?

 

[wantstobeaphysician]

Do they accept letter of intent?

 

[sopapilla]

Do they accept letter of intent?

Yes, you can upload it on your application portal.

Thank you for your words, but the Achilles heel for me was being OSS with ties to TX but not specific to ETX. I just want to see how they will word that....

[sweetpickle]

I can't remember. Does anyone remember how many spots they said they're going to fill with prematches? Or a percentage

 

[cranberrylimeade]

the whole class i think

 

[wysdoc]

We’ll see. There are only 40 spots

 

[johnsonthehopeful]

Like so many others, I received the pre-II R yesterday! I wasn't all that surprised because I've been periodically checking up on this thread, and it seemed as if most of the IIs had already been given. Disappointed given my ties to ETX, but I'm honestly excited to be getting out of Texas (not excited about the COA at OOS schools either, to be fair) and very grateful to have other acceptances.

As I stated before, my DMs are open for anyone who will be moving to Tyler and wants any general advice on the lay of the land. I'm from a big city, so moving there was an adjustment, and I want to offer any support I can to those of you doing the same!

 

[session6]

Good luck to everybody over the next two days! Hopefully we get some good news here

 

[ejgoy]

[cranberrylimeade]

then again there’s like 10 spots left so not all those people may be on SDN
