I must tip my cap to you. You definitely have the most entertaining MDApps I have ever read.
What type of research (clinical, translational, basic) do most medical students at UTSW pursue, and what percent of medical students at UTSW pursue research during their four years? To go off that last question, how popular is the MD with Distinction in Research and does it mean anything in the long run (ex. residency applications)?
Also, what is your opinion of the more traditional 2-year science curriculum at UTSW as a current student who has been through it i?
Thanks!
The UTSW curriculum information pages still show the 2 year science + 2 year clinical curriculum. Are the new changes not reflected on the webpage?

hey @hownowmauvecow, current in-state resident, submitted my secondary at the beginning of july and hopefully will have an II in the near future. how are interviews at UTSW? are you able to divulge any specifics?
Hey guys, I am finishing up my secondary for UTSW. I have been there as a graduate student and really wanted to use the secondary as a way to show how much I enjoyed being there and give reasons why i would like to be there again. Do you think this will come across as desperate or will it help?
Thanks in advance.

If you did not mind, please share your stats and the timeline in your applying process(such as date completing TMDSAS, date II, Date Accepted ....).Hey all! Good luck applying this year! I will be an M1 - so I just did this process last cycle. I also had a later interview and got in AFTER the first round of pre-matches. Let me know if you have any questions about the application/interview process!

For the first question on the secondary do we have to choose one of the choices? Not really interested in any of the choices but can bs something if it's required
Thank NCKSD for sharing. That was a long process covering the whole cycle. Knowing this will help me to prepare myself for such long process.On the other side of the fence from Vans42.. not to depress anyone or anything
Submitted TMDSAS Mid May, II August, Interviewed September, Waitlisted post-match in feburary, accepted Mid May.

Nope! Got an email today confirming they had everything and we only needed a secondary if we were applying MD onlyI'm applying MSTP to UTSW (so I applied through AMCAS), and I never got a secondary. I got an email saying they're still waiting for my LORs, but that's it. Do MSTP applicants not get secondaries? Thanks.
I just received a confirmation of my TMDSAS app. Haven't submitted secondary. In the email they said to keep checking status of TMDSAS to keep up with other documents. I believe your GateWay app webpage should reflect your completed secondary, but I could be wrong.Does UTSW send a complete email? I've only received confirmation of the receipt of my secondary, but nothing else.

I am applying MSTP as well as just MD for UTSW, and I'm wondering if it's okay that my MD/PhD essay kind of overlaps with the second prompt of the UTSW secondary? Will the MD committee even read my MD/PhD application?
UTSW emailed me thursday and said my app had been received from TMDSAS, but I got another identical email about five minutes ago. This happen to anyone else?

One of my friends said that UT Southwestern doesn't require that your secondary be complete before they offer you an interview. Is this true?

Do you guys think rescheduling my interview from 9/6 to 9/27 would negatively affect my chances by much? I would love to go sooner but that would mean missing their Friday program, and it sounds like a great opportunity
