Yep we got two OOS in Houston. One kinda has a tie to Texas but one doesn't at all
What does that mean?

It means that you have some sort of connection with Texas, like you used to live there, your parents live there, your fiancee lives there, you used to work there, your mother's brother uncle sister-in-law lives there... something like that.What does that mean?

Thanks! Do u know their stats by any chance? I want to move to Texas and I have extended family there. Is there a secondary application or some other way through which i can express my intent? Also did the individual with 'no connection' do anything different? ThanksYep we got two OOS in Houston. One kinda has a tie to Texas but one doesn't at all
Just curious do u guys know of any OOS applicant who was accepted in any Texas DS this cycle?
She was there on my interview day at Baylor. Shes a boss tbh.Yup, one girl I interviewed with who is from Louisana was accepted to Baylor and Houston. She also got accepted to 5 other schools lol
Looking to take the DAT around the same time, I was also a bit worried about the scores holding my application to be viewed. Lets hope this is not the case.Started my application today and signed up for my DAT on July 6th. Hopefully my scores get in by the time I submit my application to all three Texas Schools
depending on when you submit your application, GPA verification will take a few weeks. DAT scores take 2 weeks to upload. i submitted end of june and was verified and mailed out mid july - i think you're fine.Looking to take the DAT around the same time, I was also a bit worried about the scores holding my application to be viewed.

Thanks a lot for the re-assurance. Going into this cycle I knew I wasnt going to have EVERYTHING ready by the second week of May but my hopes are that I get to submit and send everything out no later than the second week of June follow by my DAT scores in mid July. Like I said I know I will not be considered an early bird applicant but Im trying to avoid being late all while providing quality on everything I submit.depending on when you submit your application, GPA verification will take a few weeks.

Baylor peeps. Has anyone gotten their financial aid award amount yet?
They posted my scholarship today on the financial aid portal but that's the only thing I see.
Also, it seems our disbursement date is on 8/5/16.
Maybe they're applying them one by one or something.Hmm I haven't gotten my scholarship yet.
Is there any movement left for any of the Texas schools? Do they rank the waitlists?
SA and baylor no word on anything yetwhat Texas schools did you get waitlisted for?

Well isn't that nifty!Oh, they're officially changing Baylor's name to "Texas A&M University College of Dentistry"
The name change will go into effect August 1st.
Ughh they need to hurry up lol.Well isn't that nifty!
On the financial aid, my wife's scholarship hasn't posted, nor any other financial aid info...
No I haven't! How do we know who they are?Man, hopefully!! Btw, has anyone gotten their bigs yet? Mine is super nice. She messaged me on fb.

Ok so here's the thing... According to one of the many forms I've received in the mail, apparently we're supposed to have all the required textbooks by the start of class. However, according to the upcoming D2 students they didn't use any textbooks, all of the information was in the course manuals and the powerpoints. Anyway, they're gonna post a link with a bunch a resources notes, some textbook PDF's ect.Might should post this in the school specific thread, but this seems to get more hits...
What are y'all doing for textbooks? And/or do you have any inside scoop on which books tend to be used and which are not? Specifically for Texas A&M.
I jumped on Amazon and threw all the required books (for D1) in a cart and ohhh boy that price. Already bought Netter's because, duh, but the others...
Ah, that's good to hear. I also didn't realize when I made that post that there was a required list and a recommended list... That, uh, makes a huge difference. There are really only two required books and a skull for fall.Ok so here's the thing...

Yeah from what I've heard on the FB page, they only used literally one page out of the histology book.Ah, that's good to hear.

I was looking at this yesterday too. I was wondering why I was only charged 17k~ on my howdy portal.Am I the only one confused by the cost of attendance for Fall? It's looking like $17,800 due for Fall (before financial aid) on the official bill (that equipment usage fee, whoa). That leaves only about $9600 for Spring in tuition/fees according to their $27,400 COA estimate. ($27400 - $17800 = $9600)
Are they going to take that into consideration when dispersing leftover aid? Would seem difficult, especially for single students, to get a small disbursement for living expenses in Fall and a large one in Spring. If that makes any sense...
Just curious. I guess we'll find out soon enough. Or we could contact the school, but... nah.
EDIT: Looked again: I think you pay all the fees, equipment usage, etc up front for the entire year. Then only ~$9000 is due in Spring for tuition. Question still stands on disbursement, but the billing all adds up that way. ($17800+$9600=$27400) Right on the money...
I found the itemized statement and only $9144 of the $17,886 is "HSC tuition", all the rest is fees. I'm going to assume 9144 only covers fall, otherwise tuition at Texas A&M is only $4572/semester, doubtful.I was looking at this yesterday too.

So we don't pay fall and spring tuition upfront?

They have two disbursement dates according to this (Aug 5 and Jan 4) so I assumed we got it in two parts and would be billed in two, relatively equal parts. $17.8k is definitely too high to be half of D1. So yeah... I'm confused on how that works out.
I just realized we have a summer disbursement as well?I found the itemized statement and only $9144 of the $17,886 is "HSC tuition", all the rest is fees. I'm going to assume 9144 only covers fall, otherwise tuition at Texas A&M is only $4572/semester, doubtful.

Huh, didn't notice that. I don't think FAFSA covers Fall, Spring, AND Summer. So I'm thinking that'll be a different thing.... I guess, who knows.I just realized we have a summer disbursement as well?
