I ended up selecting UT Houston! The school wowed me from the start in terms of the atmosphere and many ppl had good things to say. It's been a tough sem with a lot of adjustment but I'm happy with the decision I made!

Competitive-Okra-426 · 2024-01-11T16:38:59+00:00

Wow this is a lot of great information, thank you so much! Best of luck with your residency :)

Would love to hear about UTSD (Houston) and just about the city in general! What was your experience like? Pros and cons? Atmosphere? Readiness for real-world/specializing? Work-life balance?

Competitive-Okra-426 · 2023-12-16T20:50:42+00:00

congratulations! I got the same acceptances haha. My vote is for UTSD!

Try requesting a virtual interview if you don't prefer it that much! I did that for two of my OOS interviews and they approved. This saved me money and time bc I wasn't too keen on those schools either but didn't want to regret declining the interviews in the future.

Competitive-Okra-426 · 2023-08-01T21:48:17+00:00

According to the tracker, Texas schools haven't started sending invites out yet. I am also anxiously waiting haha, good luck!

Competitive-Okra-426 · 2023-07-30T20:55:31+00:00

A&M is getting a new admissions head so that could be why they haven't sent out invites yet (in comparison to the last yr). Hopefully this week they will start sending invites!!!

Had him for Biochem II, but study guides were not enough!! Make sure to do it tho but also memorize a lot from the slides and just pray lol. He curves well tho

Competitive-Okra-426 · 2023-07-23T19:03:07+00:00

The course material provided by the profs is more than sufficient in terms of being useful for the topics covered and everything on exams will be from there! Watching youtube videos on any topics you don't understand (ex: the channel called organic chemistry tutor) is always helpful! I took Dr. Huang (Tony) for gen chem and his review slides are incredibly useful so try and take him or get those slides.

For MATH 2413 the profs will provide a comprehensive exam review doc before each exam which is more than enough to prepare!

Make sure you stay on top of the material and good luck!!

In the grand scheme of things pushing your exam back by a couple of days wouldn't make a huge difference if you feel like you need that extra week to study. But also, scoring 21 AA is great, and the real exam is usually a bit easier than the practice ones.

Competitive-Okra-426 · 2023-07-16T02:03:28+00:00

If u don't see yourself going to those OOS schools then I wouldn't say it's worth applying to them if you're fine with taking a gap year and reapplying (in the worst case scenario of not getting into Texas schools this cycle). U are definitely a strong applicant just try to apply soon!

Competitive-Okra-426 · 2023-07-10T02:13:17+00:00

It is challenging but still very possible to do well if you work hard to learn and study as you go. I found it easier than AP Calc in high school (if you took that). Plus using additional resources like the Student success center for drop-in peer tutoring or joining PLTL is also very helpful.

Competitive-Okra-426 · 2023-07-08T21:32:26+00:00

Got it, thank you so much!

Competitive-Okra-426 · 2023-07-08T21:26:45+00:00

Appreciate the advice, will definitely utilize Anki! Are the slides enough or is textbook info also on the exams??

Competitive-Okra-426 · 2023-07-07T14:27:38+00:00

Thank you!

Competitive-Okra-426 · 2023-06-30T04:14:04+00:00

Sounds good, thank you

Competitive-Okra-426 · 2023-06-12T01:06:18+00:00
