Hello! My first-author research paper was published today. I have not received an interview at UT Southwestern Medical school, but I would be extremely excited to attend. Do you think I should send an update letter to the admissions committee now, or should I wait until some future date? And should I do the same for all the other schools that haven't interviewed me yet? Thank you!

Was it part of your app saying it is being published? If not, it is a reasonable update to submit as long as the schools accept. Different schools have different timelines for updates - some before II, some after II and some don't.

Thanks for the information! I believe that I said "I am currently working on a paper," but it was not published at the time of the application.

You will need to review the policies of each school but an acceptance by a publication is a good reason for submitting an update.

I just started working on research dealing with making and applying relevant statistical models in glioblastoma imaging using genomic sequencing. I am working with a data science professor and a radiation oncologist physician who currently works at UTSW. Would this be something to include in an update letter. I know UTSW values research. Thanks!

They do value research, but they don't value update letters (or even accept them, though some have told me I'm wrong about this).
Their modus operandi is more like "don't call us, we'll call you"

if it helps, someone from my interview day asked and the admissions people said they accept updates through the portal

Is that before or after II or anytime?

does anyone know if it affects our admissions status whether we do or do not attend these frequent presentations we are emailed about? my job always conflicts with them but I don't want it to be perceived as a lack of interest/enthusiasm as that is definitely not the case

Also wondering this, I thought I read somewhere they were optional, but I could be mistaken.

 

[colistincanape]

these topical session reminders from the UTSW admissions email are going to be so nerve-wracking once October 15th rolls around

It should say in the email whether something is optional. My experience has been that if UTSW says it is optional, then it is. They are not out to get you

Hi guys, I know UTSW offers the weekly topical sessions but I'm wondering if they do a pre-interview social like many other schools. I didn't see it in my email, but I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything!

They offer tours after the interview. The socials existed when it was in person but not sure they do them virtual now.

[amateurbater]

@amateurbater you should really consider practicing your craft

You know how the Cherokees had a rain dance? Go outside and buss it down in the streets for two-three hours a day for a week. The II’s should come shortly after. Alhamdulillah.

For those who have interviewed, when do we find out who our interviewers are. I got my interview slots, but no word on who the interviewers are going to be.

If you log in to AMP you can see who your interviewers are!

has anybody applying to the MSTP program here heard back with an II?

Did you check the Physician Scientist forum? That's where the MSTP process is getting documented with R's, IIs, and As.

Yeah, I posted a few weeks ago

 

[hornzup]

If my paper went from submitted to accepted, should I send out an update?

Are updates sent through the AMP portal - in document uploader?

If a paper is accepted it is an important update to make as long as school is accepting them.

Thanks for this!! Would you recommend I make the update on the schools portals,or should I reach out to admissions on how to make the update?

When do you guys think they're gonna send out prematches this year?

Most likely this Monday, out in waves from
4-6pm

 

[fraise25]

Confirming that the first round of acceptances comes out tomorrow, but I don't have any idea on the timing. They emailed the current students to let us know.

I know it's not going to help too much hearing this, but don't think you're done if you've interviewed and don't hear from UTSW tomorrow, or even if you haven't gotten an II yet. This process is brutal, but so many people are cheering for y'all!!

 

[rocketene]

UTSW will extend their first offers tomorrow (Monday 10/15). Monday 10/16

 

[rocketene]

If you are accepted tomorrow (or any date after that!), please keep an eye out for calls from current students! This is my second year volunteering and I'm still so so excited to meet y'all and welcome you to the UTSW family 😊
