Experiences section: prioritise the rotations, research, and service that signal the strongest fit for your target specialties — informed by what programs already know about UTRGV SOM graduates.
Signal & program list strategy: balance reach, target, and safety programs based on where UTRGV SOM candidates historically interview and match.
We'll pair you with a reviewer who's served on residency selection committees in your target specialty. Personal statement, experiences, and signal strategy — line-edited against the bar that program directors actually use.
