2022-2023 UT Southwestern (UTSW)

[johnsonthehopeful]

what are the minimums from last cycle?

I went to go find the link and found that I was looking at UTSW's MSTP, not general medical admissions, but for their MSTP matriculants:

"Most successful applicants will have an* MCAT of 515 or higher, a GPA of 3.8 or higher, and prior research experience. Some successful applicants with outstanding research experience have lower MCAT scores and/or GPAs. Admitted applicants' scores range between 506 and 527 for the MCAT, with a median of 519. The cumulative GPA of admitted students has ranged between 3.37 and 4.0, with an average of 3.8. Interviews are based on the competitiveness of the applicant pool. You should begin the application process at least one year prior to the desired matriculation."

I imagine this range is not too far off from their regular MD admissions data, however, as the class profile shows a 3.88/516 average. But remember, this could be a poor representation either way - it could be that the MSTP admissions process is more holistic and focuses more on research experience, or it could mean that their MCAT/GPA averages are even more competitive due to how few spots they have for MSTP students.

*It actually says "A MCAT" on the website, but I couldn't leave it like that in good faith.

10th percentile for matriculants was 3.64/3.55 and 509, but I'm unsure of the minimum matriculant stats.

Is this for 2021?

Has anybody received any news after submitting secondaries?

I haven’t heard anything yet…submitted early June so have been on the edge of my seat

 

[texasvandy]

The first group usually is JAMP. They should be issuing interviews in a week or two.

[theuglyduckling]

II today. IS, LM 75. Complete mid-July I think.

 

[texasvandy]

Congratulations to you all. seems like you are all auto group 1 invites with high stats.

 

[wysdoc]

Anyone know what the post II acceptance rate looks like? MSAR says they interviewed 830 people for 230-240 spots for the 2021 cycle but it's unclear how many total people were given As.

It’s hard to know this % for TMDSAS applicants because the sought-after applicants can get several TX offers of admission which narrow down to the school they ranked #1 for Match Day.

Today isn't the only day that the group 1 people get II's, right?

Yes. Please focus on doing your interview well and not whether you can get in based on the percentage. In theory people who get early interviews have a higher probability of being admitted at UTSW as a percentage but nothing is guaranteed and it is dependent on how well you portray yourself during your own interview. There will be people who wont be admitted from the first round and there will be people admitted from the last round which means everyone who is interviewed has a shot at getting in or not getting in.

They cant interview all at once. They will be scheduling interviews for 2-3 weeks at a time.

 

[rudeplants]

Just got an II! IS, LM 78, completed 7/12

Do UTSW and other TMDSAS schools generally look at/invite IS applicants before OOS? I don't think I've seen any OOS IIs on any TMDSAS school and was wondering if they are going to go through all the IS applications first before turning to OOS.

There's no one approach that describes all TMDSAS schools.
UTSW specifically offers its first couple of rounds of interviews to very high-stat applicants , both IS and OOS.

Many Texas schools are required by law to fill their class with at least 90% IS applicants. With that being said, I do have a friend who is from OOS that received a II.

hey, congrats on your interview. What time did you get your II at? I'm down bad lmao

 

[texasvandy]

UTSW will accept 20+ OOS applicants and most likely interview proportionately for that number of seats.

They will admit more instate students than allowed because they play the yield game and expect some to leave during match. Most TMDSAS schools will not accept more than allowed for OOS and need people to drop before they admit more. So if they filled 23 seats, they will cut off admissions for OOS unless someone from the admitted group drops.

 

[JML_22-23]

II today! Completed 5/28 LM 74

 

[revuot]

I hope not because I have ok stats and haven't gotten a II ://

 

[ese2]

I hope not because I have ok stats and haven't gotten a II ://

It shouldn't be. Im well within the auto-II range so I'm sure only a proportion of that group received II today

 

[rudeplants]

Thank you!! I got my email at 9:12am ct. Let me know if you have any more Qs I’m happy to answer anything 🙂

Do you mind sharing when you submitted secondaries?

it was late June, i wasn’t complete until early July though!

 

[texasvandy]

Just my personal opinion the LizzyM matters more than submission date for early invites at UTSW with some institutional needs being the other set.

 

[CaptNemo]

Just received II from UTSW, LM 82, complete end of June. Very grateful and thankful!

Just curious, did anyone have earlier interview dates offered than September 10?

So for those of us have received IIs, would UTSW have even looked at the rest of our app? Or is it truly completely automatic based on MCAT/GPA

When I logged in this morning August 20th and 27th were available

Group 1 process describes not needing a full review before the II.

 

[texasvandy]

First date usually also has JAMP candidates.

Wow it really does fill up fast

 

[globaldoc27]

II today at 1:54pm!!

 

[totalcorruption]

II at 13:57! Complete 07/31

 

[texasexes]

Do y'all think II for Group 1 will go out over the next couple of days or was today it?

normally they release one group of interviews at a time. If current open dates are filled up, they will release another list when they are ready.

You have to remember there is a lot of work that needs to be done to set up interviews. they have to line up all interviewers who are available for those specific dates, match people with interviewers for the scheduling etc.

Rip has anyone else with high stats not gotten a II today?

LM 81 and haven’t heard anything, but I’m OOS and submitted my secondary less than a week ago.

 

[WestbrookSucks]

I'm 3.7 512 still no II. I heard their application software has been dealing with glitches so maybe I was skipped.

I would say your scores are good enough for an interview from UTSW, but not at the extremely high range for one on the first day.
Hang in there

 

[mk0814]

4.0 and 517, submitted 6/2 and no II yet 🙁
I've noticed that they seem to be going in reverse order of secondary submission so maybe those of us that submitted early June will find out soon hopefully

 

[satdixon]

I don’t think that would qualify for the auto-interview, but you might have a chance for the regular one if your stats are good enough. Just as a heads up, 512 would be around the 10th percentile, so chances do seem slim
