What applicants said about U Texas Southwestern Med Sch-Dallas in the 2026 cycle

utsw was nice :)

so if you have derm1+ TY1, followed by derm1 + TY2, etc thats two ranks? and depedning on all the iterations its easy to get past 20 ranks?

Also confused - do you only partial match a TY/Prelim if thats all you put? For example, if my list is: derm1+TY1, derm1+TY2, is it still possible to ONLY match partially to the prelim or do i explicitly have to rank TY1/TY2 independently without derm? I am also a dual app so how would I fall down to my second specialty at that rate?

you guys are awesome for answering thank you so much!!!

oh goodness i have no idea what's going on

no. Each derm rank counts as its own mini "rank list". Let's say Penn is your number one derm program. You would rank Penn + TY 1, Penn + Ty2, and Penn + TY 3, as your "number one". It's like having your ranks as 1.1, 1.2, 1.3. I hope this makes sense? It's hard to put it into words

yes!! that makes sense thank you!

sure thing! your prelim/TY rank list can also change with every program. You manually create a new prelim/TY list from scratch with every derm rank, so you can change it as you see fit (for example, if you match on the west coast for derm, you can try to match at a west coast prelim. and, if you were to match at Penn, you can try to maximize your chances of getting a prelim in Philly, etc)

oh my god i'm gonna have to make an anki card out of this

if you want the option of still matching at a pgy 1 ONLY in the event that you don't match derm, you have to rank the prelims/TYs. You won't automatically match at one without ranking it. You can rank them in any order

Thanks to those of you who explained this..you did a better job than my school

oh dang lol no warm up session I see haha thank you

yeehawwww

so some had the welcome session on Thursday and some on Saturday?

yes just go by itinerary in thalamus> does it just start with the first interview then?

yes! mine was like this too> ok thanks!, any insight about the interviews, do they pimp about specific projects lol?

only had 1 question about research and definitely a softball, all rooms structured qs but relaxed

why is the 1/10 welcome session after the interviews on 1/9> i was wondeirng too, but it looks like it is closing session?

very long, but faculty was nice

1 spot for McGovern, 2 for UTSW

how many interview spots and days did mcgovern have

Everyone was super nice but the 11 straight interviews with very little break in between was rough lol

it was a marathon lol

POOP

what were questions like, any pimping?

did they ask you about your research?

no pimping! softball research questions

I wished they locked half the slots of each available date, cause it seems like we got the bottom of the litter time slots

whatever girl

are they all full now?> 3 remaning currently 7.30pm 11/11/25> 2 left as of 8.45 pm

any rejections?

lol so quiet here compared to yesterday

hehe I didn't get one ;)

yeeehawww

also fwiw looks like there are some more spots so maybe another wave to come

okie bestie, pls keep an eye out on how many thalamus slots are left - lol mine came at 10:20pm EST Friday night!!! Looks like about 12 spots still open atm

this is an interesting rolling interview release lol>still 12 ?

now 11

nothing yet

nope> are they going to torture us all day like cmon pls

I can only imagine the PC sitting at their desk hovering at that II release button with a smirk lol

is this still happening today omg

great question this is going to drive me crazy all day

I need a joint or cig

let's take a shot together

omg why are they making us suffer like this :|

it would be nice if they have times for these releases

any update now at 2:45pm ET?

nope

the website doesn't mention an interview release date?

it was listed as today on that other google sheet :(

I'm wondering if that was an error now

welp 11/17 it issssss

yall the day is not over lol

at the end of the day, the day gotta end, brodie

do any internals have insight?

no update as of 4pm EST > lmao can someone email and ask PC

you do it

yeah that'll make a great first impression….

5pm come on .....> I feel like the clock is counting down. Like I'm about to open a fashion show

this is torture

where did we get 11/6 from? like are we sure its today> the document that supposedly was made by programs

well that was a FLOPPPP

Arizona released at like 7 pm EST last year you need to stay strong

I'm sorry releasing after business hours is diabolical and unethical, and honestly speaks A LOT about the program culture and vibe

Transparency is a mutual demonstration of respect; so be it if you choose to release at midnight, just communicate that please and thank you!

Does anyone have any info so i can otherwise log tf off tonight LOL

I just emailed the PC and will report back if I hear anything>king/queen behavior

at this rate they might not be releasing till 11/17

last year they released on 11/7, so maybe 11/6 was a typo after all> el oh el, pks dont get my hopes up again

god bless America> if it's any reference point I know utsw released their IM PSTP invites on a saturday 12 AM CST lol, hopefully wouldn't do the same for derm :)

anything from UTSW anyone >no > 1:30pm it is

any update?

yes they self reported that 11/6 is their release date. You can reference the spreadsheet to verify

I wish we knew what time they are releasing

their PSTP releseased a few weeks ago and they did it @ noon EST

wait people said 1:30pm est?

last year they released at 1:30 EST

yes for research track

wow, gtk, thank you!!
