What applicants said about Baylor Coll Med-Houston-TX in the 2022 cycle

its weird that schools that took a lot of their own last year didn't seem to again this year? or is that just me? <- guess zoom format makes it safer to take home/away candidates < Look at Northwestern, basically their entire class are home students. I feel bad for the 15+ research years who wasted there time there expecting to be ranked LMAO < but like baylor houston had a shit ton of home students too but didn't take any of them...? but took all home students last year i think??? make it make sense < I think northwestern was trying to protect their match rate for derm by taking a few home students who didn't get many interviews or weren't competitive applicants. That's what happened at my home program so I'm assuming its the same for Northwestern <sometimes its just a numbers game... < why would they match not-that-competitive applicants instead of who they really want to protect their match rate (unless they just really like them as people)? do programs really care about their match rate? not arguing, just genuinely curious. I would pay to watch a tv show about the inner workings of PD's minds LOL < i really don't think they matched people who were weak LOL they probably honestly liked them the best < all of this is speculation can't say for sure it's one thing or another. That is, unless we know what interviews the other people got < Not true; i got highly ranked email and weren't home student < Highly ranked does not mean ranked to match. The distinction matters. < highly ranked doesn't mean jack most of the time lmao. Most of the people at NU RY understand that the chances of NU ranking them are low. Most get spots somewhere. <the super enlightened ones might not have ranekd NW high whatsoever. the corollary to a courtesy interview is that you give too many away and suddenly you cant rank all the people you gave interviews to which is why some programs dont do that (umiami) but yall dont want to hear these facts and rather go on spreadsheets to drag programs based on your opinion of how complex systems things should be run and this culture of dragging leads to less transparency to future generations of applicants

For UT Houston, did anyone get information regarding the program/ like the virtual interview information other programs sent you? If so, when did they sent that info? Want to double check and see if I got any info from them. Thanks!

when you receive BCM IM email about their plan to change their schedule for PGY1, but nothing is laid out concretely ???? < less inpatient time sounds like a win. They just went up a few spots on my list if that's the case

Just a heads up: Baylor Univ. Medical Center (Dallas) should be deleted from Match list < why? they are listed on the nrmp program list for this year as having 3 spots i think < That's Baylor COM (in Houston), not Baylor Univ (in Dallas) < whats BSW? < A/M

anyone know if UT houston has academic half days??

Can we talk about UT Houston? in terms of training and culture < I think most of their residents are filled with in-state applicants. Can anyone from texas comment on this program?< heard they work alot and it is MD Anderson so you got to pay for parking and also drive between different places for consults. < residents are workhorses, little autonomy < Do they have resident clinic? < Like compared to UMichigan how tough the work is there? <<< no resident clinic

i felt like i really connected with some interviewers (not pd) at a place that usu takes only home students :/ probably low chances? < no one knows. maybe the home students want to go somewhere else? < are you talking about BCM? They did take non-home students (only except last year)

Those who interviewed at UT Houston: how early in advance did they assign your interview time?

List of programs where residents are overworked? < NYU < Miami <UChicago < Northwestern U < UTSW < Harvard << is utsw still that bad? <UT Houston < is UChicago still bad? Heard it changed after most of the faculty changed < is miami as bad as people say < Residency explorer from 2020 said 60 hr/ week for UChicago

Ok why does BCM interview around 60 people for 3 spots when they just internally match their entire class, like legitamate question < how do you know that they do this purposefully? maybe it is because all home students rank them high. And previous classes did have at least half from other institutions (except last year) < what is bcm? < baylor college of medicine

Any insider of UT Houston knows the culture of program, saw some comments from IV impression and had some concerns

I know everyone is so hyped about T10 but anyone would like to share anything about interview experience at the UT Houston thx!

Did UT Houston have a social on 1/6? I signed up for the other date, but never got an email confirmation.

Anyone know about UT Houston meet and greet tomorrow evening? I never got a confirmation or more info after replying to their email

does baylor interview day have 4 interviews or 5 interviews? << Is this Baylor College of Medicine or Baylor-Dallas? < Baylor COM < looks like five 10-minute interviews with 2 minute breaks between x2 < why do I see four 12-minute interviews? < no idea. My email says five 10-minute interviews. Where are you seeing the four 12-minute ones? Maybe interviewing on a different day or at a different time? < oh nvm it says four in the first interview invitation they sent but the recent email says five
