Another OOS WL for me. This one hurt a little more cause my interviewer told me he was going to make sure I was at TAMU in the fall:/

Surprised you ranked A&M above UTMB unless it is EnMed.

it came down to $$/family decisions. A&M would have been significantly cheaper over the 4 years and allowed me to stay with my family (provided that I got the round rock campus lol). so I put it first. it was my "logical" and "comfort zone" choice.

but my favorite school, where my heart was, was UTMB. I went into the match deciding "if A&M doesnt pick me and UTMB does, the universe is telling me to send it and go live my best life." and that's exactly what happened! :)

Just curious why UTMB is viewed above A&M. I haven't honestly thought of comparing the two

UTMB is much older and had been higher ranked in the past. It is also more centralized in terms of being mostly on one campus for 4 years.

NFL is lame. I won't lie... I let college football influence where I applied way too much.

It seems to happen every year for A&M where they send rejections to people who matched at a higher ranked school.

This is the only thing I will use the phrase “safe to assume” on:
If you have not interviewed by TMDSAS match day, you are safe to assume you are rejected.

I find it kind of odd that different people are receiving pre II rejections on different dates. They should issued them all on same day.
 
Does holding a seat at another school lessen the chance of getting off a waitlist? Would a TMDSAS school be more likely to send an offer to someone with no match?

I don't think they can see this info, it would only matter after May 15th when they can only extend offers to those who have no offers
 
hello! does anyone have insight on how EnMed grading system works? Also they have internal rankings/if so how are they determined? Couldn't find a full explanation online.

I heard A&M doesn't have that many IS scholarship opportunities. Ain't no portal or nothing for scholarships tho? I saw UTMB has one. I know some schools don't require you to manually apply for scholarships but would love to know if that's the case or not at A&M

I tried some online digging but it kinda sends you for a loop when you click "Find Scholarships" at the bottom of Scholarships & Financial Aid, which guides you to Graduate/Professional Student Scholarships & when you click under "School of Medicine", it has a hyperlink back to the Scholarships & Financial Aid page

yeah there isn't any portal for scholarships. If there are opportunities you'll get an email about the scholarship.

I just received an email for a scholarship today, and I didn't apply for anything. I'm assuming you don't have to apply and will be notified via email if you receive one.

Your message is unclear. Are you saying you received a scholarship or a message about applying for one.

Btw if pre-clerkship is 1 or 1.5 yrs and each clerkship is still the same length (6-8 weeks), what is the remaining time used towards that wasn’t originally available before condensing pre-clerkship?

I found the curriculum page but can't seem to find a curriculum map to answer my question

Are you saying they are condensing preclerkship to 1.5 years at A&M?

It's already been condensed. "Students in the pre-clerkship portion of the curriculum (approximately 18 months) do not take separate courses"

Source: Curriculum Overview

It's apparently 1 yr for all campuses except Houston, which is 1.5 years

Thats not how it works.

There are people going to other campuses who continue with their preclerkship and your duration is not determined by location but rather required completion of all preclerkship segments. So you complete whatever at College station, go to the designated campus and continue with additional classes.

I know someone in 3rd year now who came home dec 2022, continued some classes for another 2 months in Houston, got a break for step I and then started rotations in April or May last year. They now have one required rotation left and then get time for step II.
 
Found the attached on the interview packet. Seems like 1.5 yrs across all campuses for pre-clerkship with last 6 months taken at that campus. My bad about preclerkship length confusion.
