I feel like they are both awesome and honestly, I would rank based on location. El paso would definitely be more diverse than lubbock. Both great programs
They're both great but from what I've picked up Tech Lubbock offers NBME prep starting day 1 and El Paso doesn't. However at El Paso, you have more exposure to global health + learning medical Spanish (which is pretty cool imo).
Sooo, in order of every Texas school I interviewed at, not just TMDSAS:
I live an hour from there and my husband can't move with me because of work. I'd love to go to either school, but love most of all to stay home AND go to an incredible school. Honestly, I'd be thrilled to go to any in my top five, including my prematch at Foster. The others are just closer to home.
you got a mean green raider scholarship.....congrats!
I didn't apply there. Prereqs expire after 10 years and I'm very much a nontrad. Not hearing anything from UTRGV was a surprise though.
No, you're totally fine. I don't have a problem with my age. I'm in the best health of my life, physically, mentally and spiritually. My eyes just crinkle a bit more when I smile.
fair enough haha.. can you PM me? I have a questionNo, you're totally fine. I don't have a problem with my age. I'm in the best health of my life, physically, mentally and spiritually. My eyes just crinkle a bit more when I smile.
TCU/ UNTHSC says they interview through March, but I don’t know if they are done inviting.
As far as I know, TCU's final interview date is April 5, and it looked like they filled that date based on the activity of the SDN forums. My guess is they're holding on to a few more apps in the event of cancellations, since some of those dates fall after the Match Day in Texas.
Interviews are done for texas tech lubbock as well. Friend is a student involved in interviewing students
Thanks, this is super helpful! I did talk to someone in admissions at UTRGV a few weeks ago and they told me they were 6 weeks behind and would be interviewing until match day. He also told me there’s a chance to be interviewed after because seats open up but I’m thinking that’s pretty rare (although he did say someone interviewed in June last year and got in) 🤔
Thanks, I forgot I saw their flood of R’s to those not interviewed
haha I got it after I read it again - it's been a long morning at work
Thanks for chiming in- sometimes the person answering the phone at the admissions office isn’t well informed though.
UTMB heavily looks at casper before the interview (not sure about after). In their courage session, they stated that they don't use LORs pre-interview, but they use them post-interview when deciding on acceptances. For other schools, don't know haha
lol thanks I was wondering if the schools I interviewed at knew I was crazy beforehand
If it helps, I think some other Texas schools just use Casper as a check the box requirement for matriculation.
I like engineering, just trying to figure out if there is any notable thing I would be missing out on by not going to a "traditional" med school. As these two schools seem similar to me with regards to prestige and whatnot, I figured they would be ok for comparison.
sheesh brother was your lizzym score 1000000 haha? big congrats on your cycle
My final TMDSAS rankings:
1. UTMB (full ride + prematch)
2. UTSW
3. Long
4. McGovern
5. A&M (prematch)
6. UTRGV
7. Foster
8. TTUHSC
9. SHSU (prematch)
Happy Ranking's Y'all
Well, there's not a whole lot of point other than being required. We could just randomly assign numbers under prematch, but in case the schools are ever curious where they stand or use the data aggregated for anything, it might be helpful.
UTSW full COA. Living costs can add up significantly in Houston (but it's still better than other major cities). This is also because UTSW=Baylor in pretty much anything so they'll open the same doors for you.
No. Maybe they dole those out after the match because I have not heard about anyone getting anything from them.
