During my interview they said admissions committee meets weekly.I wonder how often the admissions committee meets to review the applicants. I had my in person interview on the 2nd.

You can see that last year's class landed some very good residencies in the match UTRGVNot sure that I really have an answer to this question, but during my interview, admissions said everyone in the room had at least made the waitlist. So anyone who is interviewed either gets a pre-match offer, matches on match day, or is on the waitlist. He also explained that should we receive a pre-match offer, it would be non-binding if we accepted. The way he said it made it sound like they still had pre-match spots but also planned on having spots open for match day. Not sure how separate these lists are from each other though.
Also, does anyone have any idea of how successful students are coming out of UTRGV? I have been trying to find any sort of info on pass rates or match rates and can't find anything. I'm not sure if I am just looking in the wrong place or if this is something they don't want to publish for whatever reason.

This past Friday, 12/9.when did you interview?
I have a friend who graduated from UTRGV 2 (perhaps just one, I'm not sure) years ago who did not match into an ophthalmology residency. She got in on her second try after doing a year of research !You can see that last year's class landed some very good residencies in the match UTRGV
They will not address the question, though, of why a class that started with 55 students has only 43 listed in the Match list.
There seems to be a good amount of attrition and students remediating/repeating a year.
Ophthalmology is one of the tough ones and their residencies fill 100%, some people have to try again as you say.I have a friend who graduated 2 (perhaps just one, I'm not sure) years ago who did not match into an ophthalmology residency.

Almost Doogie Howser.An article on one of the first students to successfully complete the UTRGV early assurance program.
He will start UTRGV medical school in 2023.
Vaqueros MD Early Assurance program
I think a typical student in this program would be matriculating at age 20 or 21, but this student also attended a magnet HS in Brownsville called MSA (Math Science Academy) which includes so many dual enrollment classes they graduate with their HS diploma + 2 years college credit.Almost Doogie Howser.
I don't think theres been any announced here since like early nov lolHas anyone prematched here recently?
Should be around 20-25Wondering how many seats are left to offer during the match day. Any insight will be appreciated
Thank you. This is my first choice. If I rank UTRGV as 1 and if this school doesn't rank me 1, and another school X ranks me as 1, will I get X as match or ?Should be around 20-25
You will match to the other school if this school doesn’t rank you high enough, but the other one does. High enough to be accepted that isThank you. This is my first choice. If I rank UTRGV as 1 and if this school doesn't rank me 1, and another school X ranks me as 1, will I get X as match or ?
I recommend you (and everyone going through this process for the first time) go and watch the videos on the THES YouTube Channel about how the match works.Thank you. This is my first choice. If I rank UTRGV as 1 and if this school doesn't rank me 1, and another school X ranks me as 1, will I get X as match or ?
Director of admissions stated they offer 55 pre matches and about 55% ish accept. So they fill the rest of the 45% through the matchI wonder how many actual acceptances this school offers to fill 55-60 seats. I know those numbers are probably internal but do they double their seats as AMCAS schools do?
When you have PreMatch offers, you can rank those intermixed with other schools where you didn't get a prematch offer.Do people who get Prematch offers also end up getting ranked on the match list for schools? So someone with a Prematch offer from X school can potentially rank higher than someone without a Prematch?
I’ve seen wysdoc explain this 100x on 100 different threads. You’re the real MVP, wysdocWhen you have PreMatch offers, you can rank those intermixed with other schools where you didn't get a prematch offer.
You might match to any of the schools you ranked.
The only difference is, if you have a PreMatch, you will NOT get a "No Match" message on Match Day. You will be going to med school, at your prematch school or somewhere else.
To answer your specific question, (or what I think you're asking, @MedAmbition005) Yes each school ranks a large number of candidates.
If you have a prematch offer to school A, you can never fall completely off their rank list.
If you rank them #1, that's where you're going.
If you rank another school higher and match to school B, that's the only way to "lose" your Prematch spot at school A. But you didn't lose, you are still going to med school, at a school you ranked higher.
It might happen that you rank a school above your PreMatch school but they didn't rank you so high, then you will end up matched to your PreMatch school A.
haha I'll do a longer post on the Republic of Texas thread pretty soon.I’ve seen wysdoc explain this 100x on 100 different threads. You’re the real MVP, wysdoc

nopeDid you submit a letter of intent for this school?
sounds like they're not sticking to their "2 week prematch period"!
Yes, as long as you have interviewed and you have not been formally rejected by a school, you can still rank it.I interviewed as a EDP applicant, but did not receive an offer. As I can still submit a rank preference, just wanted to know if there was still a chance that I may receive an admission offer on or after match day?
Thank you for that information! The only notice I received was from TMDSAS, when they informed me that I have been released from the EDP and may add other schools to apply to.Yes, as long as you have interviewed and you have not been formally rejected by a school, you can still rank it.
There is a good number of WL offers from this school later if you don’t match.
Did the school communicate with you at all after the EDP round? If you have heard absolutely nothing, I encourage you to confirm with them directly, in writing, that you are still under consideration for the match.
Where did you see there’s a good amount of WL offers?Yes, as long as you have interviewed and you have not been formally rejected by a school, you can still rank it.

From watching this play out for the last 7 yearsWhere did you see there’s a good amount of WL offers?
Makes sense. MSAR says 20 ppl come off the waitlist but i believe that just means coming from the match.From watching this play out for the last 7 years
Match is not equivalent to WL.Makes sense. MSAR says 20 ppl come off the waitlist but i believe that just means coming from the match.
They have a two part interview, a virtual and an in person session which are scheduled about 3-4 weeks apart. My guess is that they have finished sending IIs.does anyone know if this school is done sending II?
I can’t remember. But if anything like years prior probably 500-600.did the admissions director say how much they are interviewing this cycle?
They will send out some WL emails, but I doubt it will be todayWill UTRGV send a waitlist email or if we didn't match & didn't get an email should I assume I am rejected?
