Just for an official clarification I spoke to the office of admissions and accepting through mystar is not binding and does not exclude you from getting admitted to any other programs 🙂 Best of luck to everyone
What made you pick it over long?
I got one a few weeks ago, but I ranked another school above UTMB. It was a decent scholarship, but honestly not as generous as scholarships I was offered from a few different UTs. Hopefully the scholarship goes to one of you!
+1, got an offer a few weeks ago. The award was phrased in a way that gives you a minimum value, but you do not know the true amount until April. So I think they will probably send more depending on match results.
Same here. UTMB was my #1 among 3 interviews and I didn't match
Yes there is time to get on WLs and get in from them later
me too!! Congrats 🙂

Sorry for the late response. I spent a lot of time thinking about it because my Uncle attended Long and as an UT alum I loved the proximity to Austin. I have a good amount of friends in San Antonio as well. However, there were two primary reasons I elected to rank UTMB higher. 1) I prefer the flexibility you have at UTMB given that all lectures are recorded and available to review. In addition I liked that the coursework is not as condensed as it is at Long. I don't think that I am personally a fan of schools condensing curriculum into a shorter time frame, but that is just my personal preference. 2) After spending four years as an undergraduate in Austin, I realized that I would benefit from being in a smaller city as opposed to a bigger one while in school. For me that just means less distractions, and it's easier to focus and dedicate to the task at hand.
Yes
+ 1
Current MS1, we got the entire week of Thanksgiving off 🙂
Thanks so much! 🙂 That's good to know.
just got my email for MyStar!
Not sure about UTMB or MyStar in particular, but if you get off the waitlist at another school before May 15th you can accept it. Regardless of your status at UTMB. I believe you get a few days to consider the offer and respond
I think it's better to send a LOI when WL is unranked; might help to stand out when everyone is technically "on the same level". btw, if you ranked UTMB #1 but matched to another school, make sure to mention that acceptance in your LOI.
I had never heard about this foundation and all of the different funds they made available over a hundred years. Very appropriate.
For our class (Class of 2025) our White Coat Ceremony was July 31st, so if I had to guess yours will be the 30th or 31st of July (Saturday or Sunday). Essentially at the end of your first month of school.
yes!
I had a half tuition scholarship offered
