This Zika virus cluster was first found in one patient and as I recall, the others were all neighbors within a 4-8 block radius. I am hoping for a cold spell long enough to kill mosquito larvae and I know the city has sprayed in that locale.
I agree the Zika virus is pretty worrisome, and hope there will be a vaccine developed for it before long. But luckily for you, interviews are in Edinburg, which is 60 miles away and lacks the mosquito-friendly small waterways that Brownsville has.
Hi so were you part of a pre match?
I did.
Any word ?
Not a word and I was so excited after interview day. From the discussion we had I fully expected a quick response. Now I'm just eagerly awaiting match day.
Same here. Looks like wait list for us. Just keep praying. It's what I do. When I went for my interview, I talked to a student who was accepted from the wait list. They also said last year they had to get about 14 or so people from the wait list so we'll seeWelp, looks like no match for me here
LOL yeah honestly though my second interview was fine. I didn't like the lady from my first interview. She tried discouraging me from going to medical school even though I have the grades and I've interviewed before at other medical schools
Same here. I do wonder though how many people won't attend here because they got accepted elsewhere.
I think the other medical schools I had interviewed at in past years take about a week or so
She asked me if I had thought about the post bacc programs but honestly I don't even need it. Even one of my professors who did interviews there was surprised UTRGV didn't interview me last year even after interviewing in Galveston and San Antonio. I mean if my grades are bad why interview me
I concur.
)I'm from and live in the RGV so I felt like I would be a good match since I know the whole community and their needs but we'll see if I get accepted of the wait list.I concur.
I would say both of my interviews went really well, but I guess they thought I wasn't a good fit. Honestly, living in the RGV isn't my ideal situation, but I just really want to be a doctor. Hoping for significant wait list movement! (And that 50 % scholarship was nice
You could still be accepted from the wait list so don't give upI concur.

Not giving up hope just yet, but now I have this nagging feeling that this school just isn't for me...? But they're my only viable option right now until the OOS schools communicate with me.
I am from the area as well, and was confident in my interview! No match :/
Did you go to UTRGV as an undergrad? Hopefully we get into medical school off the wait list
Well all we can do is wait and pray. Were you interviewed anywhere else here in Texas?
Yes I did, I performed well and got great feedback from both of my interviewers .
Oh ok. Same here as far as undergrad. But I went when it was still UTPA and then it changed. My second interview went well and lasted longer than she thought but my first was ok. We'll see what happens
Nope, Texas has shown me no love outside of UTRGV. I guess I'll continue to play the waiting game
Same here. Only received one interview.
same here !
Couldn't agree more
I hadn't thought about that. They could have said forget the match and we'll put who we want on a wait list and go from there.
Yeah I think that sounds more plausible since no one has posted an acceptance on the thread
No it doesn't work like that. All the schools must accept the results of the match. UTRGV was probably ranked lower than other Texas schools by most applicants and thus did not garner many matches today. Remember too that an applicant may not be on SDN or may not be announcing their match. I am surprised how quiet the boards are today actually
