25% admit rate is quite good but my guess is 50-60 people will end up getting admitted because they will lose people during match.
So once interviewed, your chances are closer to 1/3 or even better. Good for you all with the IIs.

This one hurts a lot.
Don't know what more I could have done with my app to get an II here, 71 LM, lots of rural health experience.
+1 on the hurt [emoji24]
with you, girl 😞
Does anyone know any good hotels near UT Tyler?
@cranberrylimeade are they saying they covered all of December or getting through November?
It sounds like they still have January so people here should not be giving up yet.

Dial back the anxiety a notch, everyone!
Please don't take a simple quote or statement and extrapolate it beyond what it is.
Thank your friends for sharing bits of information with you, keep on being your awesome self.
Honestly I can’t say 100%, it seemed like they were saying they were done up until prematches?

Idk but I’d try emailing UTT directly. I’m sure they have options
I am surprised they dont have an arrangement with a hotel and a rate.
D
deleted1106377
Yeah they didn’t mention anything in the email I don’t think about hotel arrangements, but I’m sure they’d know something.
I’m also willing to bet most people interviewing are in the area so they weren’t expecting much travel

Staybridge University is my rec. If anyone is staying a bit, message me and I can share recs!

My application was transmitted on August 16th. If I still don't get the secondary from Tyler, does it mean I don't have a chance at all? 🥲
you def still have a chance, I'm in the same boat you are. They could be screening rn based on stats or timing or whatever, but also its still early in the cycle
For those who got an interview invite who’s going on November 17th?
Also, just a heads up, when they say wear comfortable shoes, they mean it. You walk a LOT!
How’s the campus?

The education building is really nice, I do biomedical research there currently and they’ve got a great team of researchers and a large hospital on site where the education building is as well, but the main UTHETX hospital is downtown from where the classes will be. Their ultimate plan is to build a medical school building at the downtown location where the main hospital is now.
So there’s no specific school for the medical school kinda like how U of H had there’s?
It's the academic building at the UT Health North Campus- it's "shared" but will primarily be the medical school, with the actual one built in 2-3 years. The first floor of the hospital and the old OR is decommissioned for the incoming classes to use for SPs and stuff.
I sent a coursework update Thursday of last week and they got back to me this morning!
Not with an II though- ha!

I was so excited to have a new holistic school in Tx... but it seems like applying early takes a huge advantage for UT Tyler...

The first year of a new med school is always tough because the class size is so small. With such a strong mission focus, they extended lots of IIs to locals first, but there is still a chance! They’ve got a few interview dates in December and January that means there’s still a handful of IIs coming!

The earliest was mid-November through late January. I believe its 2 dates a month

Cool. We have been debating whether most of their slots are already filled but clearly they seem to be still open.
D
deleted1106377
Yeah sounds like they still have plenty of dates left. I wonder if they ended up opening more days
I know they only had one session per day planned but were willing to do two. Maybe that happened!

I think they still have 1 session per day
Congrats! Do you have ties to ETX?

Thank you! No, I don't have any direct ties to ETX, but I did work and live in an ETX-adjacent county for a few years.

Not sure if anyone has seen this but I just saw this article $5 million gift continues momentum for UT Tyler School of Medicine
The second class will now also have all four years covered for free. People are really showing support for the school

It is lovely to see a school using all this money to support incoming students and not using it to lure one professor or buy equipment. It is a great way to build the school.
On interview day they didn’t mention the free tuition once. It’s amazing how they’re really not emphasizing it to get people to choose them because of it.

deleted1106377
Yeah it really is amazing. I know new schools typically have the inaugural class get free tuition, but I haven’t heard of consecutive classes getting it.
You can clearly tell they are sticking true to their mission focus and wanting to improve ETX and incentivizing students to stay
I can't believe my secondary invite was in my spam folder for the whole time ㅠㅠ.
Just submitted my secondary.

Good luck to everyone interviewing today!
Really sad to read that most of the IIs for this cycle have been given out. I'm happy for y'all, but I really fell in love with their program and was hoping they could see my genuine interest and passion from my secondary. For those of you who are ultimately accepted, I lived in Tyler for a few years and would be happy to answer any questions about the area. Best of luck to all of you!

Johnson the “hopeful”. Try to be more hopeful haha. There will still be more opportunities. Don’t give up this early.
Not sure this is correct. Please read posts on September 13th where it was mentioned that interview dates were available from November 19th all the way into January.

Is it typical for MMI questions to change for every interview date? I'm glad they do it for fairness but I wonder if that's normal.
D
deleted1140269
I would think that a few questions stay the same. Do you know if they were all different?
I would assume there is a question bank they use. Why do you expect the questions to be same?
D
deleted1140269
I don’t think they’ll be all the same. But I thought there may be a couple general/important questions they keep the same. I guess it doesn’t matter though because MMI is more about the score they give you and less about your answer.
Right. The people standing at the stations wont be same for all interviews and there is no uniform judging of MMI where there is a correct answer that every different judge can give you a specific grade on. They are judging you on your thought process and content, not the correctness. MMI is very judgemental, open to the whims of whoever is assigned to your stations and not the best way to select candidates with just that process and nothing else but that seems to how a few schools in Texas want to run their interviews.
