PSA, UTT SOM has gone up to 24 ppl per interview instead of previously only 12.
So does this mean they're interviewing more than the 140-160 they said?
I know they said that they were potentially adding an afternoon session- are they doing that or are they doubling session size? That means they would have to fit 4 rounds of MMI in one half day.
That's what occurred, split us into 4 groups and did MMI at different times.

I wonder if they are doing this for all dates moving forward or only a couple to meet that 140-160 range they mentioned previously.

That makes more sense. I thought that they would’ve had to add more spots. Otherwise, their interview cohort would be too small
The smaller it is, the better for us interviewing lol

I agree lol! But from their perspective 12 a day for only like 11 interview days seemed too low
They said that they would during my interview. The day would be in March/April.
Going off the date, it’s for accepted students only?
Second looks are usually done before the decision point, i.e., match submit deadline. It is kind of hard with tmdsas schools because they cant get this timing to work correctly. Most other medical schools do second look before finalizing a school on May 1st.
This was my understanding. Second looks if you have multiples acceptances and need more insight in making your match preference. Maybe this school is only doing it for accepted students, but not what I thought second looks were designed for.

What they told us on interview day was that they were going to do them, but they did not have a date in mind.
It would make sense for TMDSAS schools to have a second look before February 17th.
| February 17 | Submission deadline for RANKING of SCHOOL PREFERENCE for the TMDSAS admissions match; must be entered online by 5 p.m. CST |
| March 3 | Match results announced and rolling admissions period begins |

Thank you for your kind words
Me wants an II.... even if it means maxing my credit card to travel to Tyler.
Where do you live? Antartica?

Travel is expensive, man. Costs a few hundred dollars for flights, rental cars, hotels, food, etc.
You all are lucky since covid restrictions are still in place.
Pre 2021 interview seasons people had to budget 5000 - 10000 for travel depending on how many places they interviewed.
I think it is fair to say that everybody going through this process can now benefit from increased accessibility of this whole process! Sure it is unfortunate that in the past not everybody could afford the same opportunities as others, but I think maybe this shift to online interviews at some places will increase the ability for low SES applicants to get into med school when they otherwise wouldn't be able to
The other pole.
That's nuts
I traveled from Houston and between the hotel, food, and gas I spent about $450.
That's nuts, I did the same trip on $175 including dry cleaning.
Good for you, @Tx82eY23 - way to make it on a budget!
Do you know how many interview dates to signup are left by chance?
I believe someone here mentioned there was one interview date left, but that may have changed! (I also may be mistaken)
I think they extended one of their deadlines for something, the last interview date is January 26th I believe

Interview coming up next week. Does anyone know if the meet and greet the night before interview is required? Reached out to admissions but no response yet.
No it is not but I highly recommend it.
Is the meet and greet business casual?
Yes.

It is not. I think attending if you have any questions about the school can be helpful. However, they discuss everything in depth on interview day and give you the opportunity to ask questions too. So if you can't attend, don't sweat it! Good luck with your interview!

Yeah I agree with this. I think like 3 people from my day weren't able to make it. It's just a few of the UTT residents and faculty that want to get to know you. It is also nice to meet some of the applicants, but you'll be able to do that on interview day anyways since you'll be walking around with them the entire day.

Hey, I know it's tough but keep your head up. SDN is a great resource but often attracts some of the top applicants, creating a skewed perception of reality. Some people get interviews from everywhere they apply, and that's great, but that's an unrealistic standard for most. We are all on our own journey and I'm rooting for you!
