Good Karma is paying off @MCAThiccy You think of others and the almighty takes care of you.

Either that or the admissions office ran out of gifts to send you.

 

[texasvandy]

II just now as well! Oh boy...

There goes my dream of attending Princeton medical school with @skeptastic and @MCAThiccy

Literally LOL, hahaha!

 

[MCAThiccy]

I think the staff at UTSW thought that had given me a II already and realized that I hadn't interview. Why the gifts, I don't know @texasvandy

 

[pugsygirl17]

If they're scheduling out till January now, is this probably the last batch of interviews being sent out here?

Now I am counting on that water bottle.

 

[MCAThiccy]

I think we are the second to last batch. The last Interviews should conclude by the 25th of Jan, I think.

 

[texasvandy]

Literally LOL, hahaha!

I suspect they felt finding a mug for you is too much work.

edit: I see you asked for water bottles. Dallas is a dry city unlike our hometown.

So the last date is Jan 25th?

 

[pugsygirl17]

Someone earlier in the thread posted that Jan 7 was the last date but I'm hoping they were wrong for my sake haha

I love mugs too! Nothing like a good cup of coffee!

 

[MCAThiccy]

I just have a theory that Jan 25th is the last date for many Texas schools, as it is further out. I know Long stops interviewing that date as indicated by the post II survey

Did oatly run the table!!?

I asked in A&M thread last night which schools didnt call and they said UTSW and UH. I said UTSW will come calling and UH will probably ignore since Baylor and UTSW will be more inline for the stats..

I agree with you! Wow, that is a pretty stellar accomplishment. No Baylor or Tyler over here, but I got close, lol.

Dont know if they applied to Tyler.. We are only talking applied vs IIs.

On Tyler thread I suggested that anyone not from E Texas has to fit into the 4 OOS seats.

I have my fingers crossed for you. UTSW shouldn't be dissing locals.

I got II at either top schools like UTSW/BCM or extremely regional/low-yield schools like UT Tyler and UTRGV. Nothing from the "middle" schools like UTMB/A&M which I thought I was the best fit for. Med school admissions is truly unpredictable, unless you're the superstars getting every TX II haha.

Dude the same thing has been happening to me. So cryptic.

My conspiracy radar points to TMDSAS schools knowing where people are getting interviews and deciding to hold off. Someone said they only know that after they called you but what process tells them only at that point and not before?

Maybe! I personally feel like that's unlikely because there are several ppl here with II from nearly every TMDSAS school, but who knows lol

 

[MCAThiccy]

Don't know why they gave me the II. Maybe they saw my other II from different schools?

The expectation is if you meet the requirements, the same people get invited most places. Let us say someone has 75-82, they get invited to every place they apply to (in theory they will not file secondaries they dont want to apply to). Someone has 65-75, there is a range of schools they get invited to and based on some additional institutional needs and fabulous ECs, they will be considered by what we consider the elite Texas schools.

The selectivity that happened to you should not have happened where the tops and bottoms invited and rest ignored.

 

[Numpostrophe]

It's important to remember that SDN often sees some of the best applicants. There's a large portion of Texas applicants who don't get even 1 interview unfortunately.

It is a conspiracy to block you from beach parties or your mamma paid off the admissions officers to keep you home - whats your guess?

True. My LM is quite high but EC's are probably lacking compared to other applicants in my stat range. That's probably why.

keep the faith; i was complete for utsw in early july and only heard back today! until they stop extending II, you still have a chance.

they were working up the nerve to ask you out. they dropped subtle hints with the gifts and today they had a burst of confidence and went for it.

I need to do this with my crush tbh.

i was complete a lot earlier, so it’s hard to keep hope at this point. Thank you. My situation is not bad at all. Im still grateful for the IIs and prematches. Being in Dallas with family, friends, SO, are all pretty important factors, but I know I’ll make it work regardless of the outcome :’)

If you go to A&M you could be back home 10 months later or go to UTMB and play beach volleyball all year long. You are doing ok. 🙂

on another note. I wonder if it’s more expensive to do the MD/MPH

MPH is done thru UT Houston as a common school for all UT schools. You have to pay separately for each class you take and so yes, it adds on.

UTSW has launched their own MPH program this year, it’s not going to be done through UT Health anymore apparently

Interesting. I wonder if they still charge separately or cover it with your regular tuition.

if there’s no extra cost it will definitely be a strong consideration for me

 

[geologist]

Is anyone going to the MD/MPH info session tonight who can give me the cliff notes version?

I plan on watching the recording once it’s available but my husband has an event tonight that we’re attending and my interview is tomorrow.

Only question that truly matters is whether taking classes in the new program (UTSW's new school vs UTH Health Sciences) makes it cheaper.

The current program has students paying for each class. It is not cheap!
