2022-2023 UTMB (Sealy)

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Are prematches offered via phone call or email? Also did they send them all in a single wave or are they trickling in throughout the afternoon?
 
Ah I see. I interviewed on 11/2 and totally bombed the MMI... So i guess no prematch for me this wave 🙁
I didn't get a prematch the first wave even though I had already interviewed there, so don't lose hope!!
 
Maybe 11/17 interview was not processed today. I am going to need a lot of copium tonight 🙁
 
However, I will be fully pantsed, with belt and zipper and button done, for my Sealy interview, especially as this is my #1 school. UTMB is fully deserving of pants and I'll try to class up my underwear with briefs or something, maybe bust out the lacey black lingerie for them.
I lied. I did not wear pants.

Just got the A.
 
Congrats! Did you get the email just now? I am so sorry... this whole medical school application process got me so anxiousssss
Yes, as I was getting out of my car after driving home. Damn near collapsed in the road.

Funny enough, I interviewed in August and am only now getting the A. I'm likely replacing someone who also interviewed in Aug but declined the offer.

Doesn't work like that.

The admit certain number in each batch (let us say 50) so they ensure everyone gets an opportunity to be reviewed. Usually most of the early interviewees are considered the best of the applicants so they try to make sure they dont admit everyone and have no spaces for later interviewees.

They find a bunch to admit in second round but add some from the first round who didnt make it because of the 50 control number and add some of them to second round.

Third round of 50 will have some from first, some from second and many from the third.

UTMB in theory admits probably close to 400 (does anyone have MSAR numbers?) and loses 150+ during match to other schools (some may decline earlier starting December so they can admit more during match).
 
I wonder why I wasn’t sent the pre-II R. Even checked the portal communications page to make sure it wasn’t my email. I guess I’ll just take it as a loss for now?

Is it fair to say if I haven't gotten an email by now that I didn't prematch this wave? 🙁
 
Also to those who know, based on precedence, how often does UTMB release prematches 🙁
 
UTMB will release majority of its prematches this cycle in January. There will also be one more wave in December before the holidays. This is from the admissions committee
So it is confirmed that they are doing waves once per month?
 
I asked the adcoms about prematch info. They also said they send out ~300 prematches and that about half will accept. Of the 230 incoming class, this leaves about 80 spots to be filled on match day.
This is very good information.

Prematches through January/before match submit date = 300

Match listing drop out due to multiple admissions may be a non admitted school admitting etc = 150

UTMB make up list to bring it back to 230 as backup = 200

Allowed people to be admitted off that list = 80

Assume 100 out of 200 on the list also had other admissions and they ranked the other schools higher.

The rest ranked UTMB as number 1 but only 80 can be admitted.

20 still left on UTMB list and now they go on waitlist waiting for more to drop between March and May.
 
Just made a new drink for UTMB! It’s called a Cowboy Sunset:
4 oz of orange juice
2 oz of whiskey
1 oz of lemon juice
Splash of simple syrup
Splash of grenadine syrup
Splash of cherry syrup from the container
Club soda to top it off

Add orange juice, whiskey, lemon juice, and simple syrup to a shaker with cracked ice.
Shake thoroughly for twenty seconds.
Strain into a chilled glass without ice.
Splash cherry syrup in the center of the glass and then run a bit of grenadine syrup on the side of the glass to settle in the bottom (use the back of the spoon).
Top off with club side and gently swirl, allowing the redness to settle in the bottom.
Garnish with a cherry.

Make this drink during your “Why Im a good fit for UTMB” and you’ll prematch.

I have a hangover just reading this
 
Whiskey should not have anything more than water IMHO but if you are going to make a drink for UTMB, must include sea salt.
You are so very very wrong. The Manhattan is the most perfect cocktail ever and has whiskey + red vermouth + bitters. Cheers!

btw, do you have a bartending certificate?
I don’t! I just had some whiskey laying around and wanted to make something (I’ve only had one drink; I’m joking about the three).

@wysdoc I hate to break it to you but if you replaced whiskey with gin, vodka, tequila or anything else, you can still get the same flavor. 🙂

One must drink whiskey by itself to get its own flavor.
 
OOS acceptance this afternoon!!!! My first A and I interviewed 11/2 so I was shocked to hear this early. Doesn't even feel real :')
Welcome to Texas! If you are a teetotaler we may need to rethink this admission though. As you can see one must be able to discuss their favorite drinks as a price of admission to UTMB.

I was a bartender for a bit and, to me, your drink is legit. Would've gone for white rum over whiskey, though, and with some finagling with the syrups/liqueurs you could layer it to make it a real sunset. Ask me when I'm sober later.

Cheers. I'm drinking tonight, too; looking forward to drinking with a gremlin in med school next year.
