Guys how do you rate UTSW and do they ofer a prematch?
I am not sure they offer a prematch. I have heard good things about them though

I do not think that we offer prematches. We usually feel pretty confident about filling all our slots through the match.
I am VERY HAPPY here at UTSW and so I have only nice and excellent things to say about our program. No program is perfect and we all have our own problems, but I can say that overall, we have an excellent program! UTSW is one of the top 20 medical schools in the country (according to US News) and is a research powerhouse with 4 Nobel Prize winners all currently active in the institution; in Pathology, we get excellent AP and CP training at all the UTSW hospitals (Parkland, Zale-Lipshy, St. Paul, Children's, VA, and our outpatient clinics); we have a lot of residents and so our call and rotation schedules are very flexible; we have a great, dedicated, and passionate program director; our attendings are very nice and approachable and actually have time to teach and go through all the cases with us; we have great residents who are all very smart and hardworking and are fun to be with both at work and outside; we get free laptops (MacBooks); we have a lot of fellowships (including derm, heme, surg path, cyto, forensics, neuro, peds, bb/transfusion, and a brand-new GI fellowship); Dallas is a great city - very affordable and great climate; and most important of all, I think, is that all of us are VERY HAPPY AND PROUD to be here!
let me know if you have any questions.
...doing CP only is a pathway to a career in basic science with possibly some clinical work as a part of your job. Most CP-only do not venture out of the academic world.
Well, UTSW has McKenna so right away that's a good thing for their hemepath.
Is the same true for AP-only folks? What about an AP-only person that has done a fellowship like neuro?
AP/Neuro...private practice? NOT! You're stuck in academics.

As for training in clinical path, bear in mind if you haven't heard it before that doing CP only is a pathway to a career in basic science with possibly some clinical work as a part of your job. Most CP-only do not venture out of the academic world. We have some faculty who trained as CP only, one is a blood bank attending, others are pure researchers.
