Summary of Application Experience
Schools not in the MDApplicants database: 1. UT Rio Grande Valley - No Secondary, Transmitted 10/15/15, Rejected
2. Dell Med/UTAustin - SR: 7/16/15, SS: 08/08/15; II: 10/12/15!; IA: 10/30/15; A: 11/30/15 So, so pumped for this one. I adore Austin, and I'm intrigued by their curriculum. Can't wait to check it out!
1 year preclinical, 1 year for research/population health project, and full access to everything that UT has to offer. Insane and totally loved it. Majorly hoping for good news from here!
ACCEPTED with a 1/4 scholarship!! Legit can't believe it. Love Dell's mission, the Duke-like curriculum, and the UT undergrad affiliation. I'm definitely going to take the necessary time to process my thoughts, options, and priorities, but I'm pretty sure this is my top choice at the moment. Matched here on February 1st.
Summary of Experience:
SR: 07/01/15; SS: 7/11/15; II: 01/26/16 :D - Had this invite come any earlier in the year, would have absolutely jumped at it. One of the schools I've been most interested in for years due to it being in BK. Given my current options and the fact I have no days left to take at work without incurring penalties, I sadly have to give this one up.
Summary of Experience:
SR: 07/01/15; SS: 07/01/15; II: 12/07/15 Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
Another really incredible school. Best part was the fact that the interview started at noon and I live about ten minutes away. Not having to travel makes the whole interview experience infinitely nicer. Hoping for good new, although they emphasized it would be a good while before we could expect to hear anything.
Summary of Experience:
SR: 07/01/15; SS: 07/12/15; II: 10/29/15 - I'm riding the fist pump express all day after getting the invite this morning. Thrilled, and an excuse to visit NY is always a nice thing!
Very pleasantly surprised by just how much I liked Stony! They say it's a minimum 6 week wait to hear back as to a decision, so I have a while to wait.

What a fantastic school! Thoroughly enjoyed the interview day despite the 9 hour drive it took to get there
Withdrew via match. Absolutely loved this school (probably my favorite interview day in Texas) but not a big fan of Lubbock so I felt this wasn't the best fit for me

The day was fantastic, loved absolutely everything about the school.
Withdrew via match. Really loved this school. San Antonio is a fairly nice city, the South Texas Medical Center provides abundant clinical opportunity in every specialty, and there's lots of construction happening, making the school seem even more like it's on the up and up. Chose to match Dell first due to the scholarship, but it was a very close call and a tough decision.
