TMDSAS has no batch numbers.
Thank you
Sucks for us B+ people though...My alma mater uses +/-. Tmdsas said to enter it as it appears on your transcript. They will convert it to neutral letters. Example:
C- = C
B+ = B
Etc
If you have a lot of -'s, your calculated GPA will be much higher.
Thanks man I gave them a call the very next day I posted on this thread, and you are indeed CORRECT. They told me the same thing: As long as they're sealed and attached with a SINGLE copy of the downloadable form it should be just fine. Thanks!
Dude, story of my life. And sadly it was mainly with BCMP courses.
Yeah, that was my thought initially & I'm still very much on the fence about it. An Endo I shadowed said he has friends that went there & they loved it. He acted like the debt was very manageable, especially with an extra year of practice. Taking all that on still makes me uncomfortable.
Surely we'll be swept up by Texas schools asap though & never have to worry about it! ...surely...
Good question. I didn't meet anyone I knew on SDN during my interviews. at least not knowingly.
Wouldn't the applications still be looked at under some kind of "first come-first reviewed" basis? Even though they may not start to review apps until mid July, I would think that they would begin with the applications in the order that were submitted in (March submissions, then June submissions, etc.). So wouldn't it still be important to submit as soon as possible?
I understand why you would think that. Based on my experience from last cycle the date submitted really has very little bearing on when/if you get an interview.
How did y'all end up finding each other? Did you guys agree to meet up beforehand?
I think you need to wait at least a couple of days for TMDSAS to process your letters, even if you submit them electronically via Interfolio.
I don't like it, but I'm biased because both my cGPA and sGPA are lower using the TMDSAS calculations...
I COMPLETELY understand how you feel! I was so salty at first when I calculated my TMDSAS GPAs (still salty I guess), but at this point I just want to get this application process over with and chillYeah it makes me so salty because I'm missing out on a whole 0.10 points just because I got a B+ (89.45%) in one class instead of an A- (89.50% or higher).
It was interesting because my sGPA was way lower because of how they calculate it. Then they classified a bunch of my Sci classes as "other science" and my BCMP GPA went up ha. I'm not complaining about that!
Yes.
Oh suit is good. Definitely formal clothing.
You're going to laugh when you see the AADSAS app. It's so basic compared to TMDSAS
Man I hope, this app is annoying.You're going to laugh when you see the AADSAS app. It's so basic compared to TMDSAS
I put "working on my McDonald job application in case I dont get in.."
I asked every dentist I shadowed/voluntereed under, both GPs and specialists, and literally none of them supported the idea of midlevel providers in dentistry. So I guess there's that?
