is it common or uncommon for someone who had an early interview but didn’t hear back on October 15th to get prematched later in the year? Or are the later prematches mainly for later interviews

Instate or OOS?

OOS has limited slots and so they control how many they hand out and only give more if some OOS drop out along the way.

Medical schools at UTSW level follow certain processes and here is general expectation of how those go.

1. In theory, any person who is interviewed was considered good on paper and could be admitted.

2. They admit people that meet/exceed criteria and impress them during interview [these are people in early rounds for UTSW since they do groupings]

3. They keep a score on the interviewed people and admit so many each time they release acceptances like the next round. So if they expect admit 20 or 30 in 2 to 4 weeks, they might find someone from earlier rounds who scored enough but didnt meet the first round of admissions included in that list or any other list that comes after.

4. Some might keep getting pushed along all the way to the match. This is best chance for people who interviewed but didnt get in during earlier rounds.

5. I expect since Baylor is part of the process now, there may be a lot more movement on match day for both schools since many top students get admitted to both and will make a choice in march.

6. Expect lot fewer people getting admitted in late April early may at either school like last few years because both will have to choose lot more students during match itself when they find slots opened up.

7. Since UTSW does not reject people until June or July, it is very hard to say when you are truly out of contention.

I'm a current student at UTSW. Feel free to DM me questions about the school, or feel free to ask them here.

Instate applicant. Thank you, this was very helpful. I was honestly surprised to have such an early interview because my stats are below average, but I think my research is what got me through the door. Hoping to hear back from UTSW in November and December!
 
Hi!! I prematched with a Cost of Attendence Scholarship last Friday as well (10/15)! Instate applicant with an 81 LizzyM score and I interviewed 10/09, if that helps at all!! Good luck to everyone!

To clarify, is the trend that UTSW usually sends prematch offers in batches every 2-4 weeks? Thanks for this write up btw, makes a lot of sense.

I believe they may have switched to once a month or so when the interview season got longer during Covid. They were doing 2-3 weeks when the season ended mid january.

I generally can't predict how any individual school will handle their meetings and information releases, or any future things except when the deadlines are.
Last year's pattern for UTSW was about once a month.

Congrats!! Any other OOS get in? If I didn't hear back in this wave and interviewed last month, does this mean I'm in limbo until march?

Does anyone know if receiving an interview follow-up email from UTSW, specifically their Office of Diversity and Inclusion, means anything in regard to my application/chances of getting in? It definitely does not offer an acceptance, but would anyone happen to know if this was just sent to everyone who interviewed?

If you feel you are someone they are reaching out to as a member of a minority, responding as a sign of interest or asking some questions pertaining to your situation will be positive as a sign of interest in their school.

Pretty sure everyone gets it.
 
If we did not receive a scholarship offer with our prematch acceptance, is it safe to assume we will only receive need-based aid (most likely through loans)?
 
Does UT Southwestern accept application updates? I didn't find any specific answer on their website. Thanks!
 
Just prematched!!! at 1pm PST, literally interviewed this past saturday (11/13), IS ORM
