Doing this will not even get you on the queue unfortunately. If you don’t apply with a roommate and ask for a 2BR in it, you won’t be put on the waitlist. You can only apply for a 2BR with a roommate.
what if you need your space?!
If you wouldn’t mind sharing, were they IS or OOS?
Both in state.
I've received an email from the FA office confirming receipt of my FAFSA a couple weeks ago. Haven't heard anything else after that
Goodluck at UCSF. @MercifulCamper will take care of you!
MSAR listing for UTSW doesn't say anything
Thanks so much! I did notice that on the webpage but wasn't sure the implication for WLs. Is it acceptable to stay on WLs?
UTSW page doesn't say anything about WLs, but if you want to stay on WLs and UTSW is your only admission at present, mark it PTE.
I pray it will tomorrow
They won't tell you anything on the phone, pardner, UTSW is the silent & mysterious type.
I am on the waitlist for UTSW. Do they usually have a long wait list?? Any hope to get A off of waitlist this late in the season??
If you are instate and matched elsewhere, it is going to be hard with the time limitations for matched students. One week left.
This May 15th deadline rule seems very unfair to a few Texas students.
it's so that no school ends up having fewer students commit than they have seats for
The Texas schools need to solidify their class roster at some point and know who is definitely attending. Students need time to plan their finances and move.
nope
Hey what do you think made you stand out for UTSW?
Fairly high stats, research, etc. more than a story (as compared to other schools). Also noticed that a lot of fellow admitted students went to prestigious undergrad schools. I think their auto interview program is evidence of this.
UTSW administrators are the ones who update the portal, so contact them if it’s important to you.
I apologize for the wall of text, I had a lot of thoughts. Also, for the sake of transparency (and so that you make sure to take this with as many grains of salt as you deem necessary), I did not pre-match, match, or get any scholarships, but did come off the watlist.
I mean to say that there is a good chance students off waitlists with no prior admission can get into better schools after May 15th.
I've thought about this too. I think you're right in saying that a student with less stellar stats could get in bc another student already got an A and they're 'locked in' after May 15th. But that's also assuming these stats make one student "more qualified" than another, which I think is an inaccurate assumption, it may be true in some cases and not true in other cases. I'd say most of us have something valuable to contribute and I don't think these students are any different.
I understand that you'll be disappointed if no WL offers come your way by May 15th.
Not really
I was comparing to last year and just on this forum, 3-4 people got accepted off of waitlist. We didn’t see that kind of movement this year. Is it because UTSW offered more prematches this year so they have no one leaving for another OOS better school??
This is usually the case that lot more movement should have happened by now that should have created spots. UTSW in particular had issues since Baylor joined TMDSAS because they were used to having separate systems where people were keeping two admissions until May 1st creating a lot of openings on May 1st. The first year UTSW had an extra 30-40 people on hand some of whom were offerred a deferral. They ended up with a much larger class the first year with some deferrals that took spots a year later and I am guessing they guessed correctly this year which is one reason they dont seem to be admitting lot more in this time frame.
This might be true that they guessed the correct number of prematches and added enough during the match and now they may have a full class. Unfortunate for those waiting on waitlists but thats what happens this late in the cycle. Usually any openings that come after May 15th are tied to people choosing OOS schools or taking deferrals that got approved late. Hopefully they dont already have an overadmitted class like 3 years ago.
Congrats!!!!
there is a facebook group! just look up medical school class of 2028 ut southwestern and request membership!
Congratulations 🎊
Anything going on there? I never use fb
There has been MS1s posting useful information and links. Others posting offers to sublease their apartment and buy their medical instruments. Some MS0s have posted looking for roommates. I would join if you can.
To answer your second question, they are constrained by the 90% IS requirement, but otherwise I think the word is that UTSW's wait list is unranked and they try to fill spots that open up with a similar student (whatever that means) to the one that dropped their spot.
