Rooting for ya! Attend as many admissions events you can. You can also send a letter of interest/update letter in December if you still haven’t received an invite!ive been dying to get an interview here submitted 7/29
Is there any way I can message you asking about this?Rooting for ya! Attend as many admissions events you can. You can also send a letter of interest/update letter in December if you still haven’t received an invite!
I was told they “may or may not” actually see it but it could help you.
You have to accept all medical school offers in order for them to hold them for you.Does TCOM not allow applicants to hold their offer of acceptance? I received an email that a response was required by October 30, which seems early in the cycle considering many schools haven't even sent out their acceptances yet. Can we not wait until closer to the Match? Excited for the opportunity but I wouldn't want to impulsively commit prior to knowing all of my options, but I wouldn't want to risk not getting into any school/ losing this seat and ultimately ending up at one of my lower ranked choices... I was under the impression that applicants could hold multiple prematch offer until match day, since TCOM is DO does that not apply?
You can hold it until match day. If you’re a Texan read all the Match stuff on THES/TMDSAS. A few TMDSAS schools ask for a small deposit but nothing like the size of AACOMAS depositsDoes TCOM not allow applicants to hold their offer of acceptance?

I am still not sure why anyone is asking for a deposit among TMDSAS schools.You can hold it until match day. If you’re a Texan read all the Match stuff on THES/TMDSAS. A few TMDSAS schools ask for a small deposit but nothing like the size of AACOMAS deposits
The standard practice for medical school admissions in US - ACCEPT ALL ADMISSIONS UNLESS THERE IS A PRICE TAG ATTACHED (then you need to think through).OOS Acceptance!! I was so excited I screamed when I got it! This is one of my top schools if not the top school!
I kind of had the same question as above because I am not as familiar with the texas system. So it sounds like I need to accept the offer and then if I get another acceptance then do i decline it? Either way i am accepting the offer I just want to make sure I am doing everything right.
Ok thank you!!The standard practice for medical school admissions in US - ACCEPT ALL ADMISSIONS UNLESS THERE IS A PRICE TAG ATTACHED (then you need to think through).
You have until May 1st to decide which one to go to, at least as an OOS in Texas. Texas residents get to choose lot earlier than May 1st.
All students are expected to accept their prematches. The schools dont expect otherwise.Out of curiosity, does anyone know if other TMDSAS schools can see if you have accepted a prematch somewhere else? And if they can, would that affect your odds of receiving an acceptance from said school?
Yes they can see and no it won't make you any less valid or wanted by other schools.Out of curiosity, does anyone know if other TMDSAS schools can see if you have accepted a prematch somewhere else? And if they can, would that affect your odds of receiving an acceptance from said school?
Interesting, didnt know the schools can see who is admitted.Yes they can see and no it won't make you any less valid or wanted by other schools.
IS prematch! I received my email at 1:36 pm!Just wondering about those who received a prematch, what time did you receive your email, specifically any late in the afternoon possibly evening time?
That's right.Okay sorry for the redundancy lol, but just to clarify, as an OOS with an acceptance, if I accept the offer, it is not binding? Meaning I have until May 1st to see if there are other schools I get accepted to?
okay, that makes sense. Thank you!!That's right.
Always read a school's email carefully to see if they have a deadline for a final commitment, but at this point you can accept and hold offers you get.
Later on if you decide on another school, it will be your responsibility to directly contact schools you didn't choose to withdraw your seat at those schools.
https://catalog.unthsc.edu/preview_program.php?catoid=13&poid=1077Does anyone know where to find an outline of the 4 year curriculum for TCOM? they are much harder to locate than other schools, but I want to see how they schedule boards/summers/ etc.
What happens if you just show up and start walking around? Granted it is not a tour but sounds like you just want to check it out?Does anyone know if we can bring guests to the General Campus Tour? And if they will open up any more sessions? Currently there are no Saturdays available.
Honestly, you probably could. Most places that would be interesting to look at as a prospective student are behind badge-access only doors though, but common areas in most of the buildings are public access. Parking is a pain though, and campus PD will ticket if you don't have a pass.What happens if you just show up and start walking around?

Hoping for an interview as well!Is anyone still getting any interview invites, still hoping for an interview?

I would be happy to answer any questions if you want to DM meAre there any current TCOM students that I can message with some questions I have?
I agree that today was great! I had one interviewer who wasn’t the best but other than that everyone was so caring and seemed so invested in our future. Hoping the best for every single one of us!!This interview honestly felt sooo good for me. Without sharing explicitly, I loved the questions they asked and it was extremely conversational.
Truly a dream come true getting to interview here ❤️best of luck everyone
