I just got the call from the dean -- I'm part of the Baylor College of Medicine Class of 2011! Awesome!
Yeah, if you wouldn't mind, when anybody posts here in the future, could you include that info (date interviewed, and in-state or OOS.) I think we all would appreciate itWow, congrats!!! That's really terrific news.
And now come the questions. When did you interview, and are you in-state or OOS?
Q: When did you interview, and are you in-state or OOS?
I interviewed 9/8/06 & I'm in-state. It was a positive experience start to finish. I stayed overnight with a student and liked the fellow applicants; interviews went well. For the curious, in addition to asking questions here, I'm profile #5570 on www.mdapplicants.com if you want to read more details about me and my experience.
and so it begins......
Don't worry, quantummechanic ... I bet you'll get called. I was not expecting to hear this early, but I'm not complaining.
were you the guy I rode with me in the car from the interview with those two students (can't remember their names for the life of me)????????????
you probably were!!!!!! what a small world

hi onco, congrats. having read your mdapp profile, i suspect i might have met you as well. out of curiosity, what brought you to medicine at this point in your life? you seem pretty successful by any set of standards.
Congratulations everyone on their acceptance to Baylor!! I am headed to Baylor this coming year as well. Good luck to anyone still waiting
Is anyone familiar with the residency requirements needed to qualify for instate tuition? I went to undergrad at a texas institution, but did not go to high school in texas. I would greatly appreciate any help.
I just got the phone call! I'll be joining you guys next year!

As will I Looks like the Dean prefers to make the calls on Friday, thats when i got mine as well. I am a little surpised by how few on these boards have posted their acceptance to Baylor, by my count its just us three so far
PEMB! Did you get in too!?!

Thanks guys! Baylor does seem to be a little slow this year. Should be hearing a lot more once the interviews are over.
I was so impressed with my interview day, potential fellow students, stay with a student, and finally my acceptance, I can't think of any questions ... everything was answered. I realize no school is perfect, and I don't have any illusions of the perfect medical school experience. At the same time, I like the way the Baylor coursework and clinical education are designed. I also plan to do the research track (year of research between 2nd & 3rd year). My wife found a job down in Pearland and we are negotiating an offer on a house there as well. I'll decide at some point whether to pay the $10/day of parking or whether to park & ride in. My whole family is excited about moving down there. I guess after I pay my tuition down payment, admissions will let me know what I still need to do. Until them, I'm a very happy camper.
Just wondering, but how long did it take after the call from Dr. Greenberg for you guys to get your official letters? Did you guys also get an e-mail? I'm so excited about being accepted that I'm beginning to wonder if it was all a dream...
Or a prank caller pretending to be the dean? Yeah, I know exactly how you feel. I told everyone about it and then was thinking ... oh no. It was about a week before that letter showed up, but it really *did* show up. Also, ignore the instructions about the immunization records for now. I sent mine in, and I was wayyyy too early. The rest of it is pretty straightforward. Looks like there is a tuition "down payment" that must be made in the May time-frame.
Oh, and by the way (thank you, "ms. a"), I stand corrected about the $10/day parking -- seems like there are some _much_ better options for those willing to take a shuttle or 15 min walk: http://www.texmedctr.tmc.edu/root/en/Visiting/Parking/ContractParking/ContractParkingFaqs.htm
I'm going to be leaving for China on Wednesday so I think I'm going to stop by Baylor and fill out the paperwork. I won't be back until May 25th. When are the immunizations and deposits due?
Yes, OncoCap, I've officially signed up for Ms. A's parking plan (South Extension Lot).
I've also been accepted to Baylor. I interviewed Oct. 22, and I got the phone call on Nov. 21, and then the letter in the mail on Nov. 26. I'm an out of state applicant, male, white, 23. I loved my experience at the Baylor interview and look forward to starting there July 23.
Just another quick questions to the other Baylor 2011 guys. Is there any time frame for sending in the acknowledgement form that came along with the acceptance letter? I know it says the $300 deposit is due May 15, but it doesn't say anything about how soon they want the acknowledgement form. Any ideas?

oh, c'mon...anybody who's ANYBODY at baylor is definitely posting actively on SDN. It's a given!
But seriously, congrats!
I thought about this but then found it to be an utterly arrogant presumption on my part.
I took it as a joke ....
