Nice! I thought it was just the first 3!
I’m also really hoping they still send out interview invites from now until January as someone pointed out 🤞🏻
Is the class size staying the same - 40(?).
yes and probably will until they reach full accreditation status.
We were told to “tell who we know” that prematches will come out next tuesday, then the next and last round is late january.
Also confirming that no seats are saved for EAP so all 40 are open!

Did you tell them you belong in the first group if they no reservations for EAP?
That's really amazing! Where are you getting this info?

+1 they gave us this date at my interview & it’s on the website, but at least now my panic has been postponed another weekend 🤣
i won’t until January at the earliest, but thank you!
they said it’s because they couldn’t get everyone together for phone calls until then which i think is really sweet! keep an eye out for a 903 number! they’ll call you twice before emailing/voicemail.

Does anyone know which interview dates are eligible for the pre match this round?
In my interview on 10/12, they told us we were the last group to be considered for the October pre match round.
hello everyone <3 i submitted my secondary on 10/21 and received an interview invite on 10/26. i am from south texas with ties to surrounding rural cities. this is my first time going through the medical school application process and i am honestly terrified going into this interview
i'm slightly embarrassed to mention it, but to be completely honest with you all this is my first interview invite and the stress surrounding the application process has led me to believe that this may be my only invite. therefore, i feel a lot of pressure going into this ˙◠˙ if anyone has any tips on how to prepare for the MMIs, i would love to hear it!! i need all the help i can get
best of luck to everyone, i really hope we all make it somewhere

congratulations on the II! I haven't interviewed here but the "Multiple Mini Interview (MMI): Winning Strategies from Admissions Faculty" book by Samir Desai has lots of great MMI practice/examples. It's around $30, a bit pricey but worth it in my opinion.
other resources that helped me with MMIs was this SDN page and these Youtube videos! Also, knowing basic ethics in medicine!
these are amazing resources
Buddy you are EXACTLY what they’re looking for if they invited you for an interview, especially that fast!!
Unconventional tip I used for a recent interview that I thought really helped was practicing mindfulness meditation each morning then follow it with reading 10 pages of an interesting book. It’s easy to go into autopilot during an interview and I thought this was a great way to prevent that.
Also, practice speaking out loud while recording yourself to make sure you can confidently speak clearly and think before you speak. I literally started recording myself “vlogging” for a week just to get used to thinking out loud.
To reference a story during my MMI I used the WAR method I found online
W- What happened
A- Action I took
R- results/reflection
hi! just interviewed last week. I honestly didn't prepare a ton, I just sort of winged it and talked about my experiences growing up and volunteering in /working in Tyler and then my nearby small town. There are six MMI stations, if you scroll through this thread you'll see some people mentioned that already so I think that's ok to share. I would focus on answering the MMI prompt then if you have a related personal story/experience add that in. For example, my nearby hometown doesn't have any physicians/clinics so I remember when I worked as an EMR driving in a panic to get a patient to a newly opened UT clinic and being SO happy to see the building and that it was an option for our rural area. I caught myself saying "stuff" and "like" a few times and I think that preparing may have helped me be a little more polished, but overall I feel that I did ok and was open and honest about my background/desire to be a family doc. All of the interviewers were very friendly and relatable, don't be nervous!

Is today when they are announcing pre-match results?

I think so, for those that interviewed before or on Oct 12. Those after Oct 12 will find out near the end of January. It made me smile because they said to be sure to answer your phone if a 903 number calls, but I'm from here, so all my family and friends are 903 lol 🙂

They said there will only be two pre-match batches prior to match day.

Took roughly 1 week for me, but another school I interviewed at took closer to 4 so I think it’s just whenever they get around to it tbh

At least not on here, but it’s possible that just no SDN’ers have heard anything. Completely anecdotal (and neurotic) but i received my II on a Tuesday and it was after 4pm, so perhaps they have a late meeting? 😂
i can imagine that they’d only be sending max 20 but prob 10-15 to accommodate for later dates and re-evaluating some of the earlier interviewees

With that low of a number, pretty decent chance there may not be any SDN’ers

There are quite a bit of people on here, though, so it would be pretty surprising.
Yeah I am surprised not one person on SDN got a prematch today, last cycle there were quite a few on the first day they announced

I got a call from a 903 number while I was eating lunch earlier. I jumped up, my heart was racing, it was a spam call. Life is funny sometimes

Same… It makes me wonder if they delayed again, or if I’m just telling myself that to feel better haha
haha same, I have been on edge all day

Just a thought, maybe since they are calling and not just emailing they might be waiting til after 5 to be mindful of people’s employment? Also, I am probably just coping right now lol
