UTSW is unfriendly whether you're allopathic or osteopathic. You will be broken down and remolded into a great physician. Emphasis on broken.😉
Dallas is a kick @$$ town though...personally recommend skipping the pre-interview dinner and partying downtown.

There were some DO's at my interview ... but maybe they don't get ranked highly.
Buy your own dinner...and while your at it, chat up some Dallas hotties. I didn't attend a single interview dinner, just went out and partied in each city...Dallas by far was the easiest place to mingle if you're single.
UTSW pre-interview dinner involved party-ish vibe, delicious Mexican food at Mattito's, copious free EtOH, and some groups went out in Dallas after enjoying their free dinner and drinks. You should go to the dinner.
My night out involved multiple bars, hanging out with "real" people who weren't in the medical profession, copious EtOH, and caught a ride back to my hotel 😉drfunktacular said:
Skipping the dinner was my personal recommendation based on n=1 experience. Your results may vary.
Skipping dinner will NOT hurt your chances of attending a program. UTSW sent a letter in the mail couple weeks later stating something to the effect of: "highly sought after," "if interested in a second look" etc. Can't remember exactly what the letter stated as it was over a year ago and didn't give the letter much thought.

Yeah, but there is a slight chance you might be a douche-bag
We'd need a DNA specimen to know for sure

Jdh71's personal stats:
4,903 posts/730 days = 7 posts per day, every single day of the year.
It's no wonder you don't hang out with non-medicine people...

But if you really want my DNA, I'm sure you could scrape it off your wife's side of the headboard.😉
Case closed.
It appears we have enough for a clinical diagnosis even without the DNA.
You too, what is it in Southern Minne, like -20 below?
Hey viostorm, did you see any FMGs when you went for the Interview at UTSW? I heard they do take 2 or 3 FMGs every year for IM program.
