Hate to say this but clearly this is an unpredictable cycle. Getting about distracting ourselves, is the best thing to reduce stress and anxiety
 
Any advice on whether or not to reach out to the interviewers (post-interview)?
 
Any advice on whether or not to reach out to the interviewers (post-interview)?

Several students asked this during interview day panels and were told to send them to the utsw admissions email, and they passed it along to my interviewers.
 
Does anyone know if UTSW is going to be sending out pre-match offers at all in the coming weeks/months? Or are they going to wait until Match day and waitlist everyone?

UTSW has already made some pre-match offers, starting on October 16th. UTSW holds its cards close to the vest. No update emails to applicants at each intermediate stage of the process like some AMCAS schools do.

I think October 16th was the only day that they sent out pre-match offers. I wonder if they'll do another round of offers this month or in December, since pre-match is extended this application cycle, or if they will make us all wait until March-May.
 
no, especially at this school which doesn't do a lot of casual communication once you submit.
Sorry, to be clear, do you mean you don't have advice or I shouldn't worry too much about thank you letters?

Thanks for responding!!

What did you mean by reaching out to interviewers after the interview? I said no to asking them any questions like “how did I do?” Or “ when will a decision be made about me?”
You may send a thank you note to the admissions department email if it seems important to you.
Don’t expect any further communications from UTSW unless it’s an admissions offer. They do not accept updates either.

I meant sending a thank you note. Thanks for the insight!

They extended offers couple of times each month if I remember correctly from last year. They did them in November and December but not so sure in January.

Since it is more stretched out goes through end of January this year they are probably holding the additional offers so they dont run out of them. I would expect a prematch at least once a month.
 
Clearly acceptances are going out. If you're willing to, please give us your interview date, residency status, LizzyM, and anything else you may think relevant. Thank you and congrats! Super jealous!
 
Congrats everyone! Does anyone know if they usually send acceptances all at once so I can stop refreshing my email lol
 
You don't think acceptances will come next week? Or are they sent out monthly? Or maybe every two weeks? Maybe Wysdoc knows...

Oh, no, I have no idea. I'm just assuming they wouldn't be offered until next month. This cycle is nonstandard bc of COVID, so I can only guess at what the timelines are.

Fingers crossed!!

Haha that’s the only kind of question I can’t answer, predicting the future 😛
 
I interviewed 10/24 and did not hear back today so I guess they'll put me on the waitlist? Feeling kinda sad :/

I interviewed 10/24 too and still waiting. But ya never know it might come next week or next month. We gonna be alright 🙂

Did any other OOS get A today?

Dadgum. What are your big EC's? Not to bash your stats, but you must have God tier extracurriculars to get in this quickly

Also OOS interviewed 10/17 and didn’t hear back today. So does utsw just hit us with that silent rejection/waitlist? I’d rather know I’m waitlisted than be hoping for a prematch till March.

Everyone who interviewed is on a waitlist unless admitted. No one gets rejected until they close admissions sometime in May/June.

Well OOS applicants are not in the “prematch” system but rolling admissions, and only a maximum of 10% of the matriculants can be OOS.
You will be waiting for good or bad news just like everyone else, and just like you do for your AMCAS schools which don’t have a defined match day.

In the first round, I believe UTSW released only IS pre-match and no OOS acceptances. In today's, I did not see any OOS either. Did anyone else see any? Has UTSW historically done OOS separately after IS?

No. Patience is required from those who will expect the same from their future patients. Also we only see what SDN members choose to share, making it a small subset of actual applicants.
