Hey @beachcowboy when did you hear about your acceptance?
Likewise would love to know. But I’m assuming that won’t happen until after match day

I prematched before going to the campus preview day. They did not jot down any names, nor was there really a way to sell yourself. There was just an attendance sheet, and over 50 students per session. Not worth the flight IMO.
What did the day consist of? Also, are signifiant others allowed?

Basically what any interview day consists of, but in person. Presentations, Q&A with a student panel (no faculty), followed by a Q&A with faculty, and then they split up into 10 groups of ~5-6 students for a tour of the campus, led by MS2s. Lots of walking in a humid environment (because it's next to the beach). No guests are allowed, they're very strict with that and will remind people several times. A light breakfast included and a pretty mid goodie bag as well. It was only like 2-3 hours long i think.

As a disabled person I do feel compelled to let any other disabled folks know that the campus tour was a little rough. I dont mind lots of walking (I do 5Ks) but my tour guide was running late, like way way way late, and so he was powerwalking/speeding across campus constantly leaving me behind. I feel like I missed a significant portion of the tour because by the time I got there he was fast talking through what he needed to say and I missed most of it. It made me feel very bad about myself. I didn't get too many opportunities to ask questions either because as I got there they were getting ready to go to the next spot. It was supposed to be a one hour tour and turned into two hours we didn't finish until about 2:15 or so. I dont know if that was just my personal tour guide, but I know at least one other disabled person who was interested in doing the preview session and then after I told her what happened she decided against going.
I'm sorry this was the way it happened for you on your tour.
I don't know if you have had other Texas interviews as well, but the size of the campus and the availability of close-by parking or public transportation should probably play a big part in your school rank choices.
UTMB parking areas require some walking as does the campus setup in general.

I dont mind walking long distances because I can do 5Ks. What I had an issue with was the tour guide leaving me behind.
Edit: I dont need people to care react or feel bad for me. It was just an fyi for other disabled folks to have as much information as possible.

Y'all think we're gonna get another wave tomorrow?
They interviewed the last round of candidates yesterday and today so I wouldn’t bet on it (would love to speculate incorrectly). I would guess next Friday is when the last wave of prematches are and when the recruitment scholarships go out (again this is SPECULATION based on when the last interview days are)
anyone hear about scholarships yet? just curious as we’re approaching that Jan 31st date
Nada. Patiently waiting, lol. They're pushing that 1/30 date to the limit, ain't they?
I must be special bc they sent me a post II "your application is no longer under consideration" email sometime in October

congrats everyone! Do they send all of them at once?
I am not sure about this school specifically, but I know for some other schools they usually send them over the course of a few hours.

Does accepting this offer in the AMP portal bar us from accepting an offer further down the line from another school? It says we must accept within 2 weeks of receiving it.
#AGTG Prematched!!
No it is nonbinding and you can accept any/all prematch offers

God took 6 days to create the world. UTMB cant do everything on the same day. 🙂
It’s easier said than done, but I completely agree. And it’s not over till it’s over so I have faith match day will be fruitful for many!
100% I know it’s hard not too but doing this made my waiting experience awful I wish I spent more time enjoying and relaxing instead of worrying about stuff out of my control I know it’s hard just focus on urself and ur mental and physical health yall 💗💗
Best of luck to everyone and congrats to everyone who has gotten in this far!

@randompremed457 I have lost track. Are you looking for me here or admission?
Not sure if I’m misreading this but: currently holding 3 acceptances, one of which being UTMB. No scholarships
I'm not dissing you, @randompremed457, but I am always puzzled when getting an acceptance does not seem to lessen an applicant's anxiety in the least. Having achieved that goal, can't you let yourself stop worrying ?
Gosh if it only were as simply as stopping worrying haha 🤣
I know for me, the financial piece is important in my ranking, and I am definitely anxiously awaiting UTMB's offer to see how I panic rearrange my rankings.
