Hey you guys!! Dont get worried.. letters were mailed out today! Cant wait to meet everyone next summer!! Congrats!
i'm in the same position as you drock, but I'm definitely leaning towards SA.. I've ruled out Houston, but I'm gonna go check out SA and Baylor one more time prior to making any commitments.
Well it seemed like he was trying to persuade me but he didnt say anything about the scholarship he just said i would get REALLY good news.. i wonder if that means im not getting one :-( oh well i guess ill just have to wait and see!! congrats!
Do yall know what % of total acceptances are given ~Dec 1st? I'm hoping its low since my interview is post dec..
Do the schools just give out scholarships for first year.. or do you mean 7000 a year for all 4 years??? I wonder what they usually do....
For those of you who called to ask about your status (congrats!), did you call this number for Student Affairs: 210.567.3752, and what did you say? Did ya'll accept me?!?!?!? lol
Hey yall,
I started looking around at housing over tgiving break with my fam. There are lots and lots of choices. There are plenty of apartments right around the medical center as well as condos and townhomes both for sale and rent. There are also even some neighborhoods nearby with homes for sale/rent too. I think a couple of good things to do would be to look on rent.com or another apartment finder, or go to some realestate websites (remax /coldwell banker) and do some searches. The area code of the medical center is 78229 if that helps. From what i have found, one bedroom apartments start around 550 and go up.. especially depending on how nice of a place you wan to live. Another good thing to do is to just drive around near the medical center and pull into apartment places/neighborhoods you see and look around, cause things look A LOT diff on the internet. Im personally thinking about buying something, since Im gonna be there for 4 years anyways!!
hope this helps!
Hey !! I finally got my letter and I got a scholarship too! Im trying to find out if its renewable. Dr. C told me to call or email him if i had any questions, so Im asking him. Hopefully they wont take it away from me. Im doing kinda bad in biochem. Mainly because of the teacher, so many kids dropped but I couldnt! So now im really worried about it.
Does anyone know anything about the grading system? I read on here the other day that Houston grades on a decimal system...where its possible to have say a 93.456? This type of scale would make it easier to distinguish yourself from your classmates but I haven't heard if SA does it or not.
Good luck to everyone still waiting to here something.
No. There are no +/- at UTHSCSA.

We almost let this thread go...but check out what I found. I'm looking forward to hitting up some of these spots next year.

Also, does anyone know how we go about testing out of biochem? Is there a study guide or list of topics that we need to study?
You will get a packet of information sometime in March with stuff about choosing your computer, background check, scrubs, shot record, and biochem placement exam. At this time, they will give you a username and password to log-on to the biochem website to access the course manual to study from. The placement exam is given during the 2nd or 3rd week of school.

Thank you everyone for contributing so much info. Since accepting SA though there have been several other things that I've been thinking about.
1) Would any of you say that your class is very competitive with one another? I only mention this because it seems that SA only accepts students with the highest grades/DAT scores in Texas.
2) Is it true that because SA breaks your class up into smaller groups (i forgot what they said at the interview) that you only get to know few of your classmates?
3) If you guys got scholarships, were you able to get them renewed? The people in Dr. C's office weren't too sure whether my scholarship could be renewed when I asked. They only gave me vague responses...
4) How many people in your class plan to specialize? I only ask because I'm curious as to just how competitive the students in my class will be. I know that right now I want nothing more than to come out after four years and start working as a general dentist. However, it would be nice to keep my options open.
Thank you again everybody. I know this thread has helped out alot of us.
