I have a question for anyone that currently goes to UTH. How bad is the block exam schedule and how manageable is it? I know that most of the students seemed to think it was manageable when I was discussing it with them at my interview, but I figured asking more people couldn't hurt 🙂
It messes with your sleep cycle but it is very manageable and certainly not more than you can handle. It's a system that clearly works as seen by test average and later board scores.
And regardless of how "hard" you think block week is, anyone can suck it up and do something for a week. The best part in the fall semester is that you get anatomy out of the way on Monday.
Nothing messed with my sleep cycle the first two years! Lol not as much as surgery has anyway...
The thing is, we get all our exams over with in a week, and then you have a completely free weekend and a relaxed couple weeks after that before buckling down again. It's not that bad at all. I have friends at other schools who had 1 or 2 tests a week seemingly all the time. They rarely, if ever got a truly free weekend. So you just have to choose which style you think would work best for you.
Everyone always worries about grading systems and curriculum, but to be honest I think more important questions you should be answering for yourself are- Do I love the med center? Do I feel like I fit in at this school? Can I see myself living in Houston for at least 4 years? Etc. These simple "life" things are what will ultimately characterize your experience in medical school.

Man.. A friend that's been interviewing with me and has been getting II's on the same days as me just got one from UTH... No love for me. 🙁 I guess they decided to pass me up-- 🙁
^^ What was the earliest offered date and what are your stats?
Gosh, I feel awful.
I have my UTMB interview the same day as my UTH interview. I confirmed the UTMB interview over a week ago. I even have student housing arrangements and everything at UTMB...
UT-Houston sounded like they were very reluctant to offer an alternate interview date. I even heard a student at UTH say she thinks that if you ask for another date, you pretty much forfeit your interview...
I sent them a heartfelt email explaining the situation. Anybody have a similar situation with UTH? What did you do and how did it resolve? This school is one of my top choices and it would break my heart if I was unable to interview here...

It seems like they are going through the apps for a second look. I was complete in july; hoping they'll get to me and give me a shot!
Is UTH receptive to LOI's? Still hoping for an interview, and it's so late in the interview season already-- 🙁
