UTMB medical students considering dermatology as a career are interested in feedback about how competitive their applications would be at other programs. One way to evaluate competitiveness is through comparison with outside applicants who recently completed dermatology interviewing at UTMB for our 3 NRMP dermatology residency positions. The 21 (out of 25 invited) outside applicants completing interviews last week had a mean Step 1 score of 252 (236-265). For the 11 applicants submitting Step 2 scores, the mean score was 260 (251-274). Only one applicant had a Step 3 score (228). All but one were selected for AOA at their medical schools. They were from 14 medical schools located in 10 states.
Overall, UTMB interviewed 30 applicants for the 3 available positions, including 4 of our own students and 5 outside applicants who were interviewed in November. There was only one visiting medical student this academic year. We will learn who matched with our program on Friday, March 16th. Good luck to everyone who interviewed with us!
