Thank you for the insight. That definitely is very respectable. Sam Houston has been very impressive.

Told us to check our portal for our decision!
Ahhhhh same here! Congrats!PREMATCH!!! Interviewed 10/9!!! Congrats to all!! So EXCITED to be staying in texas
Ah just check, nothing
You could still get pre-match offers by January 31 (extended COVID-19 date).
Prematch is non-binding! You can accept as many prematches as you want
I can or can’t? I was just reading up on tmdsas but I just want clarification. Thanks!Prematch is non-binding! You can’t accept as many prematches as you want
Omg I’m so sorry. I meant “CAN” lol
No. You may be ranked very low and not match, but the first time an in-state student is going to be rejected is after the match.
Damn! Congrats!!! Do you think you'll end up choosing SHCOM? With those stats, I'm sure you'll have plenty of offersPrematched yesterday

Second A. As a nontraditional reapplicant, I feel so incredibly grateful.
I interviewed on the first date, 9/25, so if I didn't receive a prematch offer yesterday does that mean that I probably will not be offered a prematch offer since they will probably be sending them to the people who interview at later dates? Will I just have to wait until match day in May to find out?
Maybe you will have to wait a bit longer, but Match Day is March 5, 2020.
So, I did accept the offer. Basically, for now, I believe that it is best to accept all offers to keep my options open.
If you have been accepted to a school you would rather go to, why not release / withdrawal your pre-match offer for another student? I completely understand your reasoning on choosing the alternative acceptance.
I understand this desire, but that's the purpose of the match. Those superstars with more than one TMDSAS acceptance will be dropped from all but their favorite on match day, while those who only have 1 school will have a shot to get into said school. After that, there are still waitlists and lots of movement also happens there. If OP isn't ready to let go, that's okay. You'll still get your chance.
But don't you have to pay the deposit if you prematch? For each one you accept?
Only the DO schools and 1 or 2 of the TX MD schools ask for a deposit.
Neither of my schools required any deposit. I just want to hold off on deciding definitively right now in case a scholarship arises or something else happens that may affect my decision. Also, my other school hasn’t updated on my TMDSAS prematch page. While my status says accepted in their portal, I like having the comfort of something in the TMDSAS page. Needless paranoia probably, but there is always that lingering fear that something may go wrong...
FYI, that fear doesn't go away after it says something on TMDSAS. I still feel like the bottom will drop out on my prematch despite paying the deposit that wasn't due until May!
Just remember match day will be some serious movement. Many with prematches here will match elsewhere, freeing up spots. Then more movement could come later with wait lists. There's LOTS of cycle left!
they said they interview over 1000 interviewees. From what I saw on my interview day, they interview around 75 applicants a day and there has been 5 interview days so far. Next one is next Friday. So, they have interviewed around 375-400 applicants more or less? I think they've scheduled December and January interviews, but im sure not all of them are filled up yet (maybe the December slots are filled up, but January most likely not). This could all change though I think they said, but they did say over 1000 get interviewed.
Won't this violate what we signed? If we add questions we were asked?For people who've already interviewed/been accepted, please consider filling out the interview feedback section.

If you don't feel comfortable adding questions, there is still other stuff you can answer, like how long the interview was. There's lots of stuff.
They have a couple of guidelines and tips for using Zoom on their portal, but here are some of my tips:
Personally, I’m introverted & I tend to not be the loudest or talkative in the room so I thought I did horrible in the group activity because of that, but I think they really just tend to look at the quality of your contribution rather than if you’re the one constantly talking or something. Really, just show your personality!! Goodluck!
This got me wondering, for those of you who prematched, how well (or bad) did you think you did on your interviews and group activity?Personally, I’m introverted & I tend to not be the loudest or talkative in the room so I thought I did horrible in the group activity because of that, but I think they really just tend to look at the quality of your contribution rather than if you’re the one constantly talking or something. Really, just show your personality!! Goodluck!
interviews itself (for me): I felt I did really great. My interviewers seemed really invested in what I was saying and some even made conversation based off my answers.
Congrats on the interview!!! You got this!
Thank you!!! Figured as much but thought I'd ask anyways, lol.
