Most of us were joking about standing. I have not once (in any of my interviews) been asked to stand. And even if you were asked to stand, own it. You are you and they can’t judge you for being you. Do whatever makes you comfortable.
i was wearing these jeans with a blazer and a shirt.
Very disappointing that the left shoe is not blue. 🙂
Basically expect ethical scenarios. Expect something’s like describe a time you were resilient and a time you failed etc. No why us and no acting. Then there’s a station where there’s no prompt and you have to say why you are a good fit for the school.
awesome thanks so much!
It's not very long unless you get assigned to the second circuit. Luckily, I was on the first circuit and I was done by like 1:30 or so. If you're on the second circuit, it lasts an extra hour.
Are you not required to go to lab at least? I think most schools have the online lecture part anyway.
Can you tell us more about why UTMB freaking rocks? Thanks!
it's a joke. Yes there are required class attendances, not every class but some.
I am concerned some of the current applicants are way too serious. Some on the other hand are having way too much fun. 🙂
Pass/Fail curriculum with NBME exams. 95%+ of content is relevant for boards! So there is no dual curriculum or time wasted preparing for in-house exams. Everything has a real objective to it.
What TX schools would you say the "some other schools" are? Just curious
Looks like they finally figured out your name on the app and tied it to the fact that you love Houston!
Baylor + SW ☕
I have turned down my II, as I have II elsewhere I am more interested in. I hope it goes to one of you!
Do you have an interview date clash that couldn't be changed?
Isn't it very risky to turn down interviews before you get accepted though? I've heard of ppl with 4+ II not matching, not to scare anyone
the average number of interviews for someone who gets accepted is 3 I believe, so anything outside that is just an outlier
It’s already done, so what’s the point worrying? I’ll make the best decision I can at any given moment and learn from the consequences which come. And to me, that decision was to turn down this II and focus on prepping for my other ones 🙂
You will be fine. Hopefully you have other beach school options to compensate just in case. 🙂
Most are more cautious and would wait until at least October 15 to see if they got a prematch offer. But you know, not all the prematch offers come out on October 15th and some not until December.
And caring for others is the first step to becoming a great physician.
Awesome! I have an interview here in November, do you have any tips?
What you are saying is you like MMI. It was not a traditional interview. 🙂
What I am saying is that I had a good MMI circuit with some great interviewers all of whom were focused and seemed genuinely happy to be there. I'm also saying I enjoyed the student panel and getting to know the curriculum. I liked it!
Honestly, just be yourself I know it's cliche. Have some good general answers to some basic med school questions, but dont overly rehearse them.
@MCAThiccy I think they were out to get you! Apparently they are nice to some applicants. 🙂
I'm still salty about that psychiatrist 😒
Wait. Hold up. Wait a minute. So do we think having "pre-match offer withdrawal" means we already have a pre-match? 🤔
I don’t think so… I had that tab since my first interview months ago
That's because your interview gave you a pre-match and have yet to send it after Oct 15 duh (the duh is in a joking manner).
No it’s in case you have had lots of interviews and want to take one out of the running before Match. An enviable position but not that many TMDSAS peeps will be in it.
Prematch withdraw seems shaky proposition!
I kind of agree here - there's really no need to withdraw from stuff if you have more than one prematch. Rank your favorite as #1 and the Match system will take care of the rest.
Have you all studied up on the cocktail recipes?
In writing, I used UTMB. In speech, I said Medical Branch.
Thank you wise mogwai
I used JSSOM since the name change. I think they did during the interview as well but the logo they had at the bottom of their presentations were UTMB Health.
LMFAO UHCOM asked all the students to stand which was interesting.
I got an II with a 502, but my GPA is a 4.0, which helped.
I'm also curious, I would love to attend this school🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽
