Hi all! I am an incoming MS1 so a total newbie and very grateful for making it into medical school. My goal is psychiatry due to past work related to the field. I've been looking at Match Lists for the past few years out of curiosity and I am noticing (and someone mentioned it at some point during a presentation) that some programs don't seem to match students from other programs. Particularly, I have heard and noticed that UT Houston or Baylor programs don't match many students from UTMB, and vice versa a little bit. Is there an unspoken thing going on between these two areas - Houston programs and UTMB in Galveston? Please don't throw eggs at me lol I know that most program directors will say the school doesn't matter, the applicant does, so they will take the most qualified candidates. However, I can't help but notice the lack of UTMB folks matched into UT Houston or Baylor residencies in Psych. I noticed the same for Derm, but I will post this question there. Thanks so much! I could be totally crazy and imagining things, but I was just wondering if this beloved community had anything to say abut this Thank you!
