This school is killing me with these tour emails. 🙄 not gonna lie i signed up for one tho 🤣
Yes send it!I love infectious disease research which is why UTMB is one of my top choices. I just got notified that my COVID-19 paper was accepted at Emerging Infectious Diseases. I want to send an update letter or LOI (I also finished my undergrad with honors and got BSL3 certified), but someone told me it's too late and they probably already ranked me so it wont make much of a difference? Should I sent one anyway? I have a lot of things to add to it a lot has happened since I interviewed in September.
Love letter writing is considered an art. Write as often as you want as long as you can find new things to say about the recipient or yourself.I love infectious disease research which is why UTMB is one of my top choices.

How did you end up dressing?Anyone else going to the virtual tow hall today? Are they meant to be formal? Like should I dress up?
It’s a webinar so none of the hosts can see the guest and guests can’t see the other guests!How did you end up dressing?
I just dressed up casually with jeans and a turtleneck. There were some people wearing suits and such, but they are super laid back. One of the students even told me not to worry because of their beach cultureWhat would you guys recommend wearing for the campus tour?
what makes you think this friday?Hoping this Friday is going to be their big wave of acceptances!
+1Pre-II R, was kinda anticipating this one but it still stung, holding onto hope for my II’s to turn into an A At this point
+1Pre-II R!
You have not applied OOS?Pre-II R!
Correct, I only applied TMDSAS.You have not applied OOS?
The COA for an OOS school, the time/effort of filling out an AMCAS application, and the yield of applying OOS as a TX resident just made it not worth it to me. Why pay 2-3x the cost when Texas alone has two of the top 25 medical schools in the nation?That’s all you needed, @auyftiv ☺️
People generally think it's in excess of 150 offers.How many pre-matches does UTMB send out? I am trying to figure out my chances for a recruitment scholarship.
Sometimes it can be cheaper if people get a free tuition scholarship which some schools have unless one is qualified for financial aid at a school that fully meets the need. NYU is free tuition for all so everyone seems to apply or give it a shot if they have your stats.The COA for an OOS school, the time/effort of filling out an AMCAS application, and the yield of applying OOS as a TX resident just made it not worth it to me.

They've been sending them out every month and tomorrow marks 4 weeks since their last wave but it's all speculation :/what makes you think this friday?
I have heard that letters of intent do matter!What are the chances of matching since I did not get a prematch? I have heard UTMB and UTSW are historically pre-match heavy. Also, do letters of intent matter?
i emailed the general admissions email asking them to add my loi to my file and it was uploaded to the amp portal!How have y’all submitted letter of intent?
praying!Hoping this Friday is going to be their big wave of acceptances!
Indeed, there is! rooting for you all!is there still hope that it is today?
Rooting for your first A so hard!! I saw the Vermont interview news as well. You got this!!My stomach is in knots. I'm genuinely wishing ya'll the best of luck!
All IIs going out and prematches (or acceptances for OOS) have been on Fridays. We have two more Fridays before the Jan 30th deadline.Have they ever released prematches on a day other than friday?
There have been some this yeardo people get post-II rejections from utmb?
See this post on the same question by a current UTMB student #779Can a current medical student from utmb comment if u elect Houston hospitals to do your clinical rotations which hospitals are u assigned and can't do all rotations at one hospital
Last year there was a wave the Tuesday after MLK day.Have they ever released prematches on a day other than friday?
So cool you can point to post numbers and not tell the people, "dont be lazy, read the whole thread!".See this post on the same question by a current UTMB student #779
