Yeah that’s a fair point, but I doubt this school even sends very many prematch offers. They might send like 10 considering their class size is so small. Also they may take an approach like Baylor and not even send the first waves until November.
And I agree. I would like a prematch just so it can relieve stress, but most the people I actually know at Texas schools didn’t even hear back till March so it’s not something that worries me very much.
Holy cow that’s insane, I wonder how many IIs they’ve already sent out.
No one knows since this is their first year. You might be the high end of the local recruits for stats so I see you as having the best shot for a prematch. Since the early dates are no longer available, it might be a moot point.
I received an II Monday with 25-50th percentile Casper (2nd quartile)
Last cycle I was 3rd, this cycle 2nd. I've been feeling discouraged by that, so I appreciate the information. Thanks for sharing and congrats!
Nothing here, and submitted same week secondary was received ~week after TMDSAS for it opened. Being a small class size, I’d imagine they will interview less than other schools. But assuming possibly a 10-1 interview-acceptance, I would think many more IIs will be going out. I guess it’ll just be a long painful waiting game for us.
Interviews start next week, so I'm sure there will be movement as they interview 🙂 I'm sure they want to extend prematch offers to those who really fit that mission, so they're being prioritized. Everyone I know who has an II (myself included) has a realllyyy strong mission and area fit.
The schools have a preset number they will interview each year and UT Tyler will do the same (may be fewer or too many this year depending on which side they want to err).
Sounds like your on the right track. You’ve got a unique background and if your able to convey that you are looking to stay in ETX after medical school, that’s a big focus that they’re looking for in applicants.
10-1 interview acceptance seems very low, but I do agree that many more IIs are to be sent out.
Right. What is the class size? I would say 6 to 7 times.
Thank you, Whimsy. As they say, distance makes the heart grow fonder. The idea of moving around, at this point, is the worst part of a medical career to me now haha Everyone discussing prematch and such had me thinking the ship had sailed. Good to know that things are still moving as time goes on.
I second this. They have been extremely intentional about making themselves known to the undergrad premeds, and many of us have met admissions faculty.
40. So 240-280?
They may get to 300-350 this year because they just dont know whether they have enough sample to choose from.
Exactly why I was thinking 10x. Because even with having such a small class size, I’d imagine there’s going to be quite a bit of competition for those spots.
In theory, schools admit more people than 40 because they have to worry about yield. Schools like UTMB may admit 400+ students after interviewing almost 1000 students and end up with the right class size of 220+ (there will be some JAMP admits etc to fill the rest). A&M over admitted by 50 people in 2021 and had to request many to take a deferral. So it all depends on whether UTT will admit 80 or admit far fewer knowing they will stay in the region due to regional ties.
No, schools with prior experience have numbers that tell them how many they lose during match which is why they overadmit. Otherwise no school will do prematches if they need to be exact so everyone can be picked based on their preference of school vs having multiple admissions and seeing if anyone gives them money and if not choose prestige.
In my opinion: some of the extreme over-acceptance events have been due to someone thinking they can do better than to go by past precedents, or decisions being made based on incomplete or inaccurate information.
Seems a bit small. Most schools do 30-40 per day/
How was this interview size determined?
2 sessions a day, so 24ish total. UTT Prehealth Advisor shared that number with a friend. I can verify after my interview, though!
Interesting, that is a very small number! If that is true UTT is only interviewing 240 people this year
I wonder how many people will rank high and take an acceptance at UTT over other schools strictly because of the tuition scholarship.
It will be an appealing factor for sure!
And given the fact that it is in the UT system with a well established hospital network, this school doesn't really pose any risk. I think it will be a phenomenal opportunity
That is true! I know most people are hesitant towards new medical schools, but with Tyler being part of the UT system, I completely agree with you.
Is UTTyler in person?
Yes
Ah man, that means I’m gonna have to get a hotel room. I live an hour away and was just planning on driving up the morning of but that won’t make sense now. Do you know what time the evening event starts at if you don’t mind me asking so I can plan ahead of time?
5:30-7 pm
Thank you so much!
Did they say if it would be business dress or casual?
No but I’d wear business casual at minimum.
Did they say what time because I’ll be flying in?
They're only doing 140-160 interviews in total? Wow that's insane! Also great to hear about prematches in December. That means interviewing even in October/November won't have much of an impact.
so at least a 25% post interview acceptance rate!
I mean it's crazy to say but they've probably essentially filled all their interview spots at this point up until January.
