It's MMI but pretty standard for mmi. Nothing to stress about. The interviewers are super nice and I thought it was overall a low stress day

Anybody know anything about the exam schedule in the pre-clinical classes? I don't remember from interview day if they covered it, like if it is just a final exam for each block, a midterm & final, exams every couple weeks, etc.

What’s does LM and this number mean
 
Hey guys! I interview tomorrow and I’m really excited! I do have a question that I hope someone who has interviewed already can help me with. On the schedule the interview block is 3 hours. Will we be in MMI interviews the whole time? Or how is the 3 hours broken down? That’s just a long time and is making me nervous. Any insight helps! Thanks!

there are 9 stations total: 8 interviewing stations, and 1 rest station... your interview time will be as long as it takes for you to get through all those stations.

you will have 1 minute to read the prompt for every station, and 6 minutes to respond... so give or take your interview will be anywhere between 56 minutes to a little bit over an hour depending on where your resting station falls.

some of yall will begin interviewing at 12 mst, and some of yall will begin interviewing at 1 mst... so just keep an eye out for that :)

I assumed I was either the last day or close to the last day. I received the invite at the beginning of the month and we are getting close to Feb. 2.
 
What's the point of in-person tour after rankings for applicants have already been submitted..?
 
Ah, I guess you could have other acceptances OOS and you might want to see your TMDSAS match school in person to compare.

what wouldn't make sense is a in-person tour in between ranking submission and match day! El Paso is having a in person tour after the match day.

I got that email too, I wonder if they might know something we don't yet (who matched with them or who got on their waitlist).

Hey guys! I got the tour email as well. I have already toured with them a couple of months ago, and I also ranked them below a very desired prematch I received. As such, I did not match with them, nor am I on the waitlist because I already matched with my prematch at the very least. I wanted to offer some insight in that I don’t think the tour email means anything special for those who received it. I know anxiety is getting the best of us right now and it’s normal to hope. 1 more week guys let’s all hang in there! 😃 (talking to myself right now as well lol)

Pre II rejection just now. They seem to be offering 1 on 1 consultations for applicants which is freaking awesome of them

“We will also be offering a virtual reapplicant workshop on March 22th, 2024 that will include one-on-one consultations to review your application and provide concrete steps for strengthening your application in the future.”

Reapplicant here. I signed up for their Reapplicant workshop and 1-on-1 review last year and it was extremely helpful in understanding what they are looking for and how to improve your application overall. I would definitely encourage reapplicants to sign up.

What are they looking for in an app?
 
I still havent gotten a Pre-II which is super strange. However I know its an R with match day being tmr. Have any other OOS not heard anything?
 
I can't seem to find this anywhere in my notes for some reason.. but is this school true P/F? or graded
 
Pre-matched back in November and matched today. Was my second choice after UTMB. They sent the same acceptance email but included a scholarship offer. Blessed and grateful.

Just have to wait it out and hope a seat becomes available and they offer it to you. Our school tends to have a lot of waitlist movement so try to be patient. Ppl have been accepted days before orientation!

We generally waitlist everyone. Most schools, at least in TX, do not send out a waitlist email. It sucks...

Foster School of Medicine posted this about their Residency Match. It's hard to read, so if anyone who's a current student has a written list of where the Matches are and what specialties, please DM it to me- Thanks, wysdoc

There should be a map of the rest of the US on the school FB page showing the other states students matched at.

I don't think there's a list out just yet, but we had some pretty impressive matches this year, including neurosurgery, ENT, derm, ortho, ophtho, and anesthesia, and people matching to some awesome, prestigious places.
