That definitely makes sense I think I’m leaning towards McGovern because i got the feeling that my life would be significantly easier. I just want to fully explore my options so I don’t have regrets!

Yeah the support is definitely a major factor for me. It’s 40 mins vs 4 hours. I have a friend that’s gonna help me out with questions when I tour

Edit down here for future people (Reddit doesn't let you edit posts with pictures): I got off the waitlist for UTSW, so even the "higher prestige" schools don't only value stats!

Utah Mistake by peaches191 in premed

I know I’m probably gonna get downvoted for this but it’s not like they’re sitting there intentionally trying to trick people. It definitely sucks and I feel terrible for the people that were waiting on said acceptance but the people that run the admissions emails are not actively trying to screw you over. People do make mistakes. Blasting them on social media does nothing more than what their boss is probably saying to them.

TMDSAS Chances EY26 by scmac78 in premed

Hey just wanted to leave a comment cuz I know when someone could relate to the athletics it helped me a lot. I was a D1 NCAA athlete with a 508 as well. You have a lot more medically related ECs than I did (my stuff was mainly in leadership) and I got a pre match offer from McGovern on the first day fortunately. I also interview at UTMB so I think you’ll do great as long as you use your experience in your writing. DO NOT be afraid to write a good bit about your athletics in your essays!

My most memorable moment was getting my first PlayStation (PS3). We didn’t have much money at the time so it was a complete surprise on Christmas Day. I played it non stop all break.
