Wazzup?
For me, I have money from UT-H and their clinicals are unbelievable... but I really loved the people at UTSA... I was at the social for about 1 1/2 after all the other applicants had left. Plus, San Antonio is a pretty cool city.haha I want a dog too and I am also right now trying to decide between UTH and UTSA, and since I have mostly forgotten everything they said when I was there, I am having a hard time deciding... any help?
I have to make same decision, and it comes down to same thing, people at SA vs facilities at Houston...
Congrats everyone! Can anyone give me info on the curriculum at UTHSCSA?
I will be joining you guys at UTHSCSA cant wait to meet ya'll and get started
What would you like to know?
Hey I had the same question! Here's a like to a MS2's reply:Hey. I interviewed at UTHSCSA very early in the process and I don't remember how classes are structured in terms of schedule and also what the curriculum there is like? I know that UTMB has PBL. I believe they said that UTHSCSA had an organ-systems based curriculum. Is that right? Thanks for any info.

Too many run on sentences, playmaker. I score your post a K on the MCAT "nonsense J-T" scale. haha. Once you get into medical school your grammer skills are the first thing to be replaced in your brain by all the random factoids you get tested on.
Congrats to everybody who got early offers. You will be doing yourself a favor by choosing our school. The curriculum is set up to help you better understand it (organ-system based), the students we attract are noncompetitive fun loving people (so your classmates will be cool <~95%>), and the administration is by far the best in Texas (which surprisingly makes a difference as to how smooth things run for students), and there are plenty of intramural sports teams available to jack around with during the week (we're MSI flag football champions). Also you can taylor your day to how you learn best. If you like being taught in a lecture setting, there are lectures scheduled from 8-4. If you like sitting in a library and doing it yourself, the syllabus has every last detail that you need to know. This makes the necessity to attend class obsolete. I learn on my own better, so I haven't attended a lecture in weeks and yet I still rock my exams.
The negatives are the closet sized gym, the lack of parking, the mic the teachers use crackles if a hair falls on it (which gets annoying after about thirty seconds), sometimes people take themselves a little to seriously (this is common though anywhere with 230 brainy people in one room), and the never ending struggle to get the library to stay open 24 hours (they just won't do it).
These issues though are found everywhere and are quite minor in the grand picture. Congradulations on your acceptance and hopefully we'll see you in the fall.

...but when i come on her its kinda i'll start one thing... life is good lol
If you're not accepted by UT Houston by now, i think it's time to give up. Syduck, I think you are more suited for a future in PA anyway.
Okay I know this is way too early, but my overly excited father would like to get my books from India cuz apparently they are way cheaper there and you can get the same books.
I don't believe him, but he thinks he's going to save $1000, hahah.
Does anyone know what books we use our first year...or maybe a website that has the list?
Thanks and hope everyone is getting ready for the New Year =)
