Someone needs to erect the flag once again.
Oooooo a new cycle person besides Armybound! Sweet!I get my MCAT scores back wednesday, my LORs in this week, my spring grades back in two weeks, and then I'll be ready to submit my first and (hopefully, knock on wood) last Texas application. So far so good.
...who am I kidding? This is terrifying.
Haha, sure. Here you go!Oooooo a new cycle person besides Armybound! Sweet!
Good luck to you!
Is that a t-shirt in your avatar? If so, you must post a link because I really really want that shirt!
Let's see whether I do this image tag right...
So, how long has it been since 7th grade history class? I don't remember which battle that lower one's from. *hides head in shame*
you can reuse recs. I'm apparently reusing my entire pre-med committee rec, but they're adding an addendum on to it. which would be ok if the first rec didn't suck, but whatever.Do any of yall know if it is okay to use 2 science rec letters from last year's cycle for this year's app cycle and just add a new letter? Or should they all be updated? Thanks!

At Baylor it's always better to use the committee. Of the people that I know that didn't get in this year...none of them used the committee (which is very stupid, IMHO).
that would suck. I submitted a letter that was written in 05Just be sure they are dated this year, because from what I've been told letters expire one year after they are dated.

on a more serious note, i get to talk over the phone to filo tomorrow. not that i'm scared or anything, i just hope he doesn't tell me i'm at the bottom of the waitlist. any recent updates from college station (*ahem* aggiesarah, awesome bearer of precious tamu info) hahaha.
I'm pulling for you, man! Hang in there!21/174.
filo to me: "if we had not had so many accepted prematch offers, you'd have been in the second round of acceptances." FREAKIN A.
i'm happy that i'm relatively high on the list but annoyed that this whole match fiasco kept me from getting my acceptance.

Oh you are so close! Here's to hoping 21 people will drop out! WHOOP!
Geez, how are you guys so fast? I haven't even finished my finals, much less gotten my final grades on my transcript.

I graduated last December Otherwise, I'd be in your boat.
And I'm submitted Taking care of certification page/photos/money and transcripts tomorrow. I dread starting secondaries though...lol.

Diana, did you write a new PS? I think I am just going to twink it up. I am only applying to UTH (Again) and TCOM anyways..
can you submit secondaries before the TMDSAS?
I'm finished with the TTU secondary but am still waiting on grades to submit the TMDSAS.
No, however I did add 2 new paragraphs towards the end that better describe my goals for the year and my philosophies on becomming a doctor. And I reworded a couple things here and there throughout my paper.
EDIT: Oh, and I did write the 2nd optional essay on diversity which I didn't do last year.
I totally felt the same way!4690 characters is seriously impossible to work with. I feel like TMDSAS is asking me to write an essay on what I want to do with the rest of my life and why on the back of a napkin and then send it to them.

I sure hope they don't judge us by the attractiveness of our photo.
the only stuff you mail to Tech for the secondary is the certification page and fee, right?
are you guys putting together real essays for the A&M secondary? I see they allow 3000 characters but I felt like the questions didn't necessarily need a very long essay to answer them. each of my responses is basically 1-2 short paragraphs.
always the way I thought of it as well. I would just hate to have my application dismissed because I failed to write a thorough essay or something.Brevity is the key my friend.
