Does McGovern do prematches? I havent heard of any yet

Most people prematched interviewed on or before September 9th. They are waiting on next round of prematches for people since.

McGovern reserves a large percentage of seats for the match in March. So when you interview does not matter since prematches dont fill the class, only a portion.

Whats the chances of interviewing in december and actually getting accepted if they have already interviewed so many people?

@rachelharris78131658 you have been invited for an interview here, so a better use of your time is to sit quietly with your application and review all your secondary essays to refresh your memory, then get into a calm positive mindset before your interview.
Knowing all the stats of others won't help you prepare for your own interview day. Good luck-
 
This is what helped me get over the jitters and mindset of, "Oh, this is a top school. I don't have a chance here.": act like you don't care. Okay, so you got a II at X school. That's cool. It's just a school at the end of the day. If you get in, cool. If you don't, who cares. Don't psyche yourself out. You got a II because you're awesome and nice. Someone in the committee saw you and said, "Yeah, they're X school material." Don't compare yourself to others and just go for it. The best advice I can give you is to just suck it up and girlboss the heck out of your interview.

Just to give yall some hope/reassurance. I was in your shoes last year. I didn't get an interview here until January (invitation in December) and was ultimately accepted off the waitlist very soon after match day. Just do you and don't worry about all the noise. If you get an interview, go into it as if you already got the gig and it's just a formality. Interviews are basically a personality test.

FYI, this school is amazing and really embodies the collaborative environment. You're gonna love it.

Now what the heck am I doing on SDN? I should be studying!

You are here spreading Thanksgiving and christmas cheer. Give yourself a cookie and go back to studying.

I'm secretly an MS4 at MIT. I agree with you 100%. Just get yourself a hotdog, relax, and then get back to studying 🙂

I think if they loved you, you could get an offer in 4-6 weeks.
If you are a Texas resident you will more commonly find out on Match Day in early March.
Good luck!

Thanks a lot, that makes a lot more sense. I am very unfamiliar with the Texas school process. Is there anything we as applicants need to do before then?

Last year, McGovern sent out a round of prematches right around or on October 15th and then another round right around December 15th. Most of their offers go out on match day in March. I have no idea what the deal is for non-residents though.
 
Do you all think the second round of pre-matches will be until around December or could we possibly expect something this week??

I’m wondering the same do y’all think maybe like UTMB they will send when they have reviewed all candidates and then send extra invites and rejections?

where did you hear this about UTMB?
 
So are second look tours like a business casual sort of thing or can I dress more comfortably?

As others said, wear whatever you want. I saw one guy wear a suit, but most people just dressed comfortably. I personally wore a pullover and jeans. They don't take roll or anything so they really won't know who you are.
 
When is the next tour? It has been cold and rainy for almost 2 weeks in Houston which is not normal.
 
Is there any possibility pre-matches have been released to a small number of people since their first batch was released?? Or do they tend to stick to two dates?

What is the concern -that something might have happened without you knowing about it?

I checked the Facebook group and I don’t think anyone’s been added recently.
