Sheeeeeshh. Just took a look at your MDapps. You are in an awesome situation.It should do so automatically. It will be as if you ranked your schools and got into your top ranked school

To add to what Panther said, unless you need all the way till January 21st to rank your prematches (which is fine!) you should drop the ones you don't want sooner, just so other people can filter into that spot.If we accept the prematch offers and rank them below another prematch offer on match day, do we still have to contact each school to decline their offer or will it do it for us automatically?

Or II's if they already know what school they want to go to!I'll be going over the schools this week and dropping prematches. I think others should be doing the same too.
I think for UTMB there is a separate application you fill out once you are accepted.Does anyone know is scholarship offers always come along with the acceptance to the TMDSAS schools? Seems like for @PantherPride they did, but I'm not sure. This would be helpful to know when evaluating schools before dropping any offers!

I think it's just after you get accepted in general.As in prematch accepted or match day accepted? I'm hoping we get a cost of attendance estimate because if not, I wouldn't be able to make a fully informed decision on what school to select on match day. As much as I would like to decline acceptances so others can get them, I don't want to until I know where I stand financially at each school.
I recall UTSW mentioning during their financial aid talk that they let you know your financial package sometime in march/april I think?
I almost dropped one of my two pre-matches on Sunday after talking to my parents and knowing which school I would attend out of those two, and then that school sent me a big scholarship yesterday so now I have to re-evaluate. While it's not ideal for other applicants, I feel like you earned your prematches and have a right to wait for bonuses.Does anyone know is scholarship offers always come along with the acceptance to the TMDSAS schools?

Are schools still sending out II's? It feels like the end is near...
I just got an interview at A&M on Monday. The interview is for Thursday so I imagine they're filling in for dropped interview slots after people prematched to a preferred school.Are schools still sending out II's? It feels like the end is near...
Correct.I just any to make sure, but we're allowed to accept prematch offers from
Multiple schools, right? I'm about to hit the accept button for UT Houston and Texas A&M, but I wanna make sure these aren't binding for whenever I pick one over the other or even a different school.
Absolutely. I got an II from UTSW on Friday and one from Foster yesterday. Keep those fingers crossed!Are schools still sending out II's? It feels like the end is near...
I am VERY EXCITED about next year... but I'm still deciding which school is best for me. For those of you who have fallen in love with a particular Texas school, what made it your favorite/best fit?
Looking back, I think the two biggest factors for me should have been true pass/fail preclinicals and plenty of elective time before 4th year. The former should eliminate a good amount of the stress that comes with being graded, while the latter takes away the stress of possibly having to choose a specialty before you've even done a rotation in it.
Which schools have true pass/fail grading systems? Thanks
UTHSCSA has letter grades.TT Foster - true P/F
UTMB - Honors, High Pass, Pass, Fail (in talks of moving to P/F)
TAMHSC - Honors, Pass, Fail
TT Lubbock - Honors, High Pass, Pass, and Fail
UTSW- currently has first semester true pass/fail and next year the first 1.5 years will be true pass/fail too
not sure about UTH or UTHSCSA.
So this is completely conjecture, but I was thinking yesterday that if around 5,000 apply each year on TMDSAS and somewhere around 25% of those receive interviews, that means somewhere just above 1000 are interviewing in total. You have to assume that the majority of people interviewing at any given Texas are most likely interviewing at one or more other Texas schools, so the 800 or so interviewing at each school are not individual applicant pools. So, if each school has about 200 spots to give out, it seems that there are essentially enough spots in the state for nearly all interviewing applicants to receive a spot somewhere in the state. Does that make sense?

I just got one from A&M on Wednesday for one of their December interviews. Its definitely nearing the end of interview offers, but there are still a few more to go.Are schools still sending out II's? It feels like the end is near...
Anyone know what schools are still sending out ii's? I've seen a&m and TCOM send some out but what about the others?
I think it will largely depend on each school, but from looking over past years threads, it sounds like it's usually a batch in early december and then one more right before prematch ends.Predictions on when the second batch of prematch offers go out?

Pretty good. Had thanksgiving dinner at golden coral for a change. The only downside is that now I can't feast on the scrumptious left overs.Hey hey, how was everyone's Thanksgiving?
That must have been interesting, I don't think I've ever had a Thanksgiving meal that wasn't homecooked! I liked Golden Corral when I went there a few years ago though, so I'm sure it was delicious.Pretty good. Had thanksgiving dinner at golden coral for a change.

Cannot wait until winter and summer breaks for that very reason - no MCAT, no additional coursework, just fun!Since I'm on a gap year with little-to-no responsibilities, I actually enjoyed Thanksgiving even more than normal for exactly that reason. For the past four years I've either had to study over the break or feel guilty for not studying over the break; this year I just got to enjoy seeing family and relaxing. Pretty sweet!
It's getting pretty late at this point. I don't think it's impossible, but getting much less likely. I know that UTMB has sent out their last IIs.is it too late to get IIs in texas? I'm IS
Utmb will be sometime in the next 2 weeks I believe.Now that it's December, anyone have any ideas when the next round of prematches will go out for TX schools?
Definitely not impossible, a friend of mine got a Tech - Lubbock interview just a few days ago.is it too late to get IIs in texas? I'm IS
