Does anyone know roughly how many pre-match offers UTMB sends out? (Or like a proportion of the class they fill through the pre-match?)
It varies from year to year, but still the majority of students match on regular TMDSAS Match day. Don't be discouraged if you didn't prematch.Does anyone know roughly how many pre-match offers UTMB sends out? (Or like a proportion of the class they fill through the pre-match?)
Honestly, if you take a look at the number of people in the FB group, exclude the number of admin/current medical students and factor in the new prematches from the December interview cohort that will be added in the coming weeks, it looks like UTMB has prematched something close to its full class size (230)...It varies from year to year, but still the majority of students match on regular TMDSAS Match day.

That's also true, I was just thinking about that. I mean, factoring in a good amount who may likely end up going somewhere else that also plays into it.. but ultimately it's all a mystery.Honestly, if you take a look at the number of people in the FB group, exclude the number of admin/current medical students and factor in the new prematches from the December interview cohort that will be added in the coming weeks, it looks like UTMB has prematched something close to its full class size (230)...
Maybe this school loses at least half its prematches to the match? No one knows lol...

I was wondering if it was possible that UTMB prematches over the size of their class and hopes for a 40-50% yield rate? Like in 2018 the data shows they accepted 455 students which was pretty similar to the number of students accepted by other Tx schools, but it doesn't make sense to me how their accepting so many people unless they prematch way over 230 because pretty much everything gets sorted out in match.Honestly, if you take a look at the number of people in the FB group, exclude the number of admin/current medical students and factor in the new prematches from the December interview cohort that will be added in the coming weeks, it looks like UTMB has prematched something close to its full class size (230)...

The total number of offers you quote (455) would include prematch offers for those who end up attending and those who don’t, as well as offers made from the WL in the months after match. It is too simplistic to think that they make all those 455 offers in the prematch phase.I was wondering if it was possible that UTMB prematches over the size of their class and hopes for a 40-50% yield rate?

Yea I understand that I just didn't understand how there could be so much movement during match. Like if they only prematched 230 then there'd have to be 200 people who drop UTMB and they'd accept 200 more through match to get those kind of numbers. MSAR shows only 10-15 people get off the waitlist, I have no idea either but the only thing that would make sense to me is if they prematch at least 300+.

I highly doubt it’s only ever 10-15 people who get off the waitlist (Even tho they say that). Dr. K (admissions dean @ Long) said their school has around 50 people or more taken off their waitlist every year (it averages around that), so I assume UTMB would also make similar offers more or less , but who really knows tbh it’s all a mystery as you said haha.Yea I understand that I just didn't understand how there could be so much movement during match.

The 455 figure seems reasonable from multiple years of data I've seen for this school. I would guess that most mid-tier state schools need to accept something close to double the class size to guarantee it gets filled up. I've seen the prematch 300+ theory in a few places, but I'm confused as to how they could prematch that many and assume that they can lose over 40-50 percent of the seats through the match without overfilling the class, unless they prematch a reasonably high number of high stat applicants that hold prematch offers at higher-ranked schools....guess we will need to wait and see!Yea I understand that I just didn't understand how there could be so much movement during match.

I've seen the 10-15 figure reported by UTMB and the MSAR. I was under the assumption that they purposefully reported a conservative figure to avoid getting people's hopes up lol. But even then, 50 is a little bit on the higher end. Hard to say!I highly doubt it’s only ever 10-15 people who get off the waitlist (Even tho they say that).

Sameee I just want to know 😔Im so close to losing it I cant wait until March LMFAO like good grief just tell me yes or no so i can retake the MCAT and reapply smh
They’ll send you all the info. No one has received it yet and it should come by mid-end JanuaryQuick question, do we have to setup our own school accounts (email and myStar)? Or is this initiated by the school admin?

Sending virtual love to both of y'all, I'm in the same boat.. Trying to make mental peace with both outcomes by meditating and thinking of all the fun things I could do in my year off if I don't get accepted this cycle.Sameee I just want to know 😔

Congratulations!! Could I ask when you interviewed?Prematched just now omg!
11/13!Congratulations!! Could I ask when you interviewed?
Congratulations!!! Celebrating with you11/13!
Thank you so much!Congratulations!!! Celebrating with you
There is some evidence on these forums that suggests that UTMB isn't necessarily prematching people in order. Someone yesterday prematched with a November interview and people from last week's wave interviewed in December. I even saw someone get a prematch in December after a September interview, with some November interviewees included in that wave.those waiting for prematch waves - it looks like waves go out on Fridays, and several last fall went out out Tuesdays as well. it's anyone's guess when those waves will stop before the match. others have reported that the last known interview date was 15Jan, so it's reasonable to speculate that there may be another wave next week and/or the week after.

Do you think at this rate, September/October folks will need to wait till the match to have some shot of acceptance?
I called the admissions office and they said upload to the portal!People that sent update letters, did you email it or upload to the portal?
Do it now, remember that a letter of "intent" should only be sent to one school.Does anyone think I should send in a letter of intent right now (the interview was in December) or wait until after Match Day?
Let it be. It will be office staff/assistants uploading stuff to your portal and they are likely to do this in intermittent batches.Any advice on what to do after sending a Letter of intent? I sent one on Dec 23 to the assistant dean for admissions and haven't seen anything yet. I would normally assume he probably read it and added to my application but when I check AMP nothing is there My friend sent a letter of interest (not intent) and he uploaded it to her amp within 12 days. I double-checked the email and everything and it is correct, should I send it again to another admissions person or not worry about it?
I think we can upload it to the portal directly? Are we advised to email it then rather than upload it?Let it be. It will be office staff/assistants uploading stuff to your portal and they are likely to do this in intermittent batches.
If there’s a mechanism to upload it yourself, do thatI think we can upload it to the portal directly? Are we advised to email it then rather than upload it?
So exciting!Finally got the physical acceptance letter in the mail todayy
Me too! and UMTB medical school maskFinally got the physical acceptance letter in the mail todayy
It can be lab for any bio classDoes anyone know if there is a specific Biology Lab that they want when the requirements say 2 credit hours of formal Biology lab? Does that only include Intro to Biol Labs?
on the day I went everyone worse chill stuff. Jeans, shirts, jackets. I didn’t see anyone dress business casual or like formal. I personally wore jeans & my schools spirit shirtWhat attire did y'all where to the in person preview day? I know it says casual + college spirit in the email, but still not entirely sure what to wear. Would a slacks, dress shoes, and a college polo work? Did anyone wear a blazer?
Alright, sweet! Definitely going to be dressing more casual, thanks!on the day I went everyone worse chill stuff. Jeans, shirts, jackets. I didn’t see anyone dress business casual or like formal. I personally wore jeans & my schools spirit shirt
