Not that anyone knows of
For real, I went several months not hearing anything from UTSW and now they won't stop emailing me. Mixed signals much?
no effect whatsoever, they will just help you learn about the school so you are more informed
Also they record them so don’t feel bad for missing them if you have conflicts
maybe during thanksgiving week like last year. No idea though. It will happen when it happens.
You should've started charging cycles ago!
n=1 but I was not able to attend any of them live due to work/school conflicts and i still prematched so it’s not a big deal. plus they post recordings of the sessions you can rewatch if you want to see what questions other people have asked
They'll send out an email with tour details later if you haven't gotten it yet but they said to do smart casual! People at my session did button down shirts/cardigans/sweaters with dress pants 🙂
Is this sent to students who have interviewed? I interviewed 10/30 and haven’t received anything yet about a campus visit
campus tour is only for accepted students at UTSW
Ah I see, wasn’t sure since other schools do tours after interview. Thank you!
If you are accepted (@oatmeal_27 says it is only for accepted), feel free to wear what you find comfortable but closer to business casual. You dont want to look bad if others show up dressed up.
C'mon crystal ball!!
CycleTrack showed that last year they had a prematch wave in Oct, Nov, Dec, and Jan. I'd expect they'll follow that same pattern again.
current ms2 and i help give these tours! your guides will be wearing business casual and you will have a chance to meet and chat with the deans, so business casual is recommended, but wear comfortable shoes bc you will be walking quite a bit. can confirm that these tours are only for accepted students.
Absolutely, my inbox is open
I think someone did during the last round of acceptances. Regardless, yes they can.
no they send emails
That was the day after Thanksgiving last year - should we be praying for a Black Friday miracle?
I’m personally hoping I don’t get one so I don’t owe @texasvandy money.
a harvester cannot owe what is their birthright
I believe they try to match you to interviewers who share similar interests with you, such as similar hobbies, research interests, etc. One of my interviewers and I spent most of the time talking about my involvement in a non-medicine related hobby. Just do your best, be yourself, be proud of the things that make you unique and good luck! Hope your interview goes well.
schedule what you can get
Congrats! When I got my II last week, there was only one date in early December and then the rest were in January, so December probably filled with the last wave
yep, hmu
hmu as well if you had any more qs
it's a webinar so your camera won't be visible!
i think i remember when i was prepping for the interview that they had a video tour on the portal that shows the rec center and even their basketball court
Don't know if there's any tour online, but I'd say the gym is like a 6.5/10. Bad water fountains, not quite enough equipment (squat/bench racks mostly) for peak hours, but decent variety/quality of equipment, nice basketball court, squash court inside, tennis courts outside, ping-pong and pool if that's your thing. Student center staff are usually very helpful and the student services (or whatever the office is called) has had a ton of events (free food + distraction from studying) throughout the semester.
I would be curious they have a gym since they have no fees for it?
Is it open 24/7? Or are there set hours?
