2023-2024 Dell

[wysdoc]

Dell Med does not use a written secondary application, but will screen applicants and offer those they are interested in an invitation to complete a video-response secondary.
Dell only sends secondaries to about 20% of applicants.

Good luck to everyone applying!

I got an email from Dell today saying that they received my application--had no idea it would happen so fast. They said they try to send secondary applications to 20% of the applicant pool, then interview 380 candidates. best of luck to y'all applying--just getting a secondary from Dell would be a dream lol

Hey, even though the TMDSAS processing time can be 2 to 4 weeks, some of y'all were apparently first in line and got processed the first day or two.

Get ready to write!

They sent you a secondary already? Or they sent you the "We received your application" e-mail?

It's not the high stats with Dell, it's the vibe 🙂

thank you. you too. I was shocked. However, I've been a Physician Assistant for 14 years, so FWIW, I think this may have helped.

Oh wow. Thank you.

Oh wow. Thank you.

Is the secondary a video? Did you prep for it at all?

Has Dell been pretty silent so far for secondary invites?

Only waiting on Dell and UTRGV now.

 

[hornzup]

Dell does not require casper - correct?

Correct. They space out their secondary emails over several months so rather than worry, just treat it as a pleasant surprise if you get one 🙂

Waiting for Dell and U of H Tilman now

I believe UH screens for secondaries so it is probably just taking time for them to screen the primary.

Based on this application timeline page on their website, they will start sending out secondaries in July.

Application Timeline | Dell Medical School

Dell Medical School accepts applications from beginning in May through the Texas Medical and Dental Schools Application Service (TMDSAS).

Might be a silly question, but does anyone know if Dell requires an MCAT score be submitted prior to receiving a secondary?

This is surprising since it looks like they sent out secondaries in June the last couple of years. But hey, I can stop being neurotic about not receiving an invite yet 🤣

 

[hornzup]

Waiting on Dell now. It's my top choice, so hoping I can at least get a secondary invite from them 😭

 

[roundgarlic]

IS secondary received! Primary was transmitted on 5/31.

LM 83, but I agree with @wysdoc. I have sustained community engagement and I feel like that's what got me the secondary!

 

[lolam]

LM 75

 

[cooltexan01]

people who got the secondaries, would you mind sharing your stats?

LM 71, and lots of diverse research experience

Secondary received 7/11 IS!

 

[cn9hbl]

Secondary received 7/11 around 4:30 pm! ORM, IS, LizzyM 70. Can’t believe it!

I have to admit: seeing the LM of the folks who’ve received a secondary from Dell, and their background, makes me lose hope for ever being accepted at Dell. One person has 14 YEARS of PA experience. Jeez. I know Dell likes nontrads, but these nontrads aren’t your normal nontrad. They have already worked in healthcare for many years. I’m an old nontrad career changer with zero science background at all.

Totally understand your sentiments. But what Dell is looking for is people with the potential to make a positive impact on our healthcare system and a track record of being changemakers. If you have experiences that show you have strong leadership, problem-solving skills, and creative thinking abilities, I'm sure you have a chance. Comparison is the thief of joy my friend.

It’s also super early in the cycle to lose hope. Keep the faith!

Congrats to all of the nontrads getting secondaries!

I'm also a nontrad, LGBTQ+ URM....I want to email them and be like hiiii

Anyone have any idea what the turnaround time from secondary to interview might look like? I’m being neurotic again 😎

Seeing the notification for this made me nauseous because I thought it was going to be someone saying they got an II 🤣

Haha - personally my heart dropped because I thought that I was going to see another round of secondaries go out that I didn’t make it into. 😂

 

[velvetcoffee]

Anyone else not feel amazing about their secondary responses and somewhat tan out of time to explain it just me and my nerves?
