Hi all, So I plan on applying to dental school in the next cycle and had a question. I know that many schools give preference to residents of their state. I was planning on moving from Pennsylvania to Texas this May (2018) and applying to TX dental schools the same month though TMDSAS. I was...

So I was wondering if I should go to Amarillo campus or to Abilene? I live in the DFW area so Abilene is a lot closer. Is it possible to stay in Abilene for 2 years then to Dallas for the last 2 years? or is that only applicable for Amarillo students?

Hi everyone, I am currently applying to medical school and it seems as if I will be going out of state for medical school. I have been accepted into Kansas City University and I just interviewed at Rowan University (both are D.O schools). Both are amazing schools. My concern is that I want to...

I'm a senior nursing student graduating in May 2018. I want to start taking my med school pre-reqs during Summer or Fall 2018, but I'm having trouble with maneuvering applications.

Hello everyone, I am a fourth year undergraduate and I can't decide if I should apply this cycle or wait a year and do a postbac to improve my GPA. I am a Biology major at Duke, but due to some unforeseen medical emergencies my sophomore year, I have a cGPA of 3.4 and a sGPA of 3.1, I am on...

Hi everybody, I was wondering if anybody knows whether at UT Health Houston and UT Health San Antonio do dental students have to schedule their own patients appointments or do the secretaries at the clinic do it for you. I know that at Texas A&M College of Dentistry you don't have to worry...

Hi Everyone! Just wanted to create a fresh thread for anyone currently applying to MOT programs here in TX. I've also been looking into some out of state programs as well. I've already submitted to UTMB, UTHSC, UTEP, and TTHSC. I'm also thinking UT Rio Grande, if anyone knows about that...

Is anyone attending a Texas medical school that would be able to tell me about student participation in the Texas Medical Association? I heard there was a way to get involved with the TMA as a medical student and would like to know more about it as I am deciding on schools as this would be a...

Anybody have any info on typical PRN hourly rates in the San Antonio area? Looking primarily at inpatient rehab but also checking into other settings. Any info is appreciated!

I have been searching and reading these forums for days, and I've found tons of valuable information on schools in Texas and on post-bacc programs, but nothing really on my main question: how to choose between the two. My situation: Older (near 50), previously pre-med (finished almost all...

Has anybody heard back from Texas a&m or UT college of pharmacy?

I'm from California but I came to do my undergrad in Texas because it's apparently a good state to be a pre-med, I have some cousins here, and I have in-state status. But, I don't like it here and really just want to go back to California, so I want to know if I have a real advantage of staying...

Hiya guys: The title says most of it: which TMDSAS schools are known to send post-interview rejections prior to November 15 or February 1st? I'm just curious.

UT Austin just opened their new medical school recently and seems to be getting ready to begin a proper MD/PhD program soon. Does anyone have a good guess of when they're going to open this program?

So, I know that on the Texas pharmacy board website, they say that it may take up to 3 weeks for them to physically mail you a letter that states whether you passed or failed. Is that still the only way to know your results or do they update the NABP website on your results as well soon after...

I've begun researching schools that I would like to attend, but I feel like I can only tell so much from the schools' websites. I won't be applying until next cycle, but I would just like some feedback about which schools would be best to apply to. A little about me: Age: 24 Utah Resident oGPA...

Wanted to go ahead and start this thread since the cycle has been open since mid-July. Has anyone applied/planned to apply as an early decision applicant?

Hello, I am a current MS4, planning on applying for anesthesia this cycle. I took my Step 1 score and got a 234 but havent taken Step 2. My dilemma is that I decided on Anesthesia pretty late (end of May) then did an elective in June (which I honored, got 3 associate level letters). However, I...

The reason I am stressed is because I am waiting on one more LOR (science professor) and she told me she will write by July/August and I asked her beginning of May. I know committees won't look at apps until they are complete so I am worried that this LOR will severely hurt my chances. I have...

I'm an Kansas resident, but I have family and have lived in Texas for a significant part of my childhood. I wanted to apply via TDMSAS, but have been struggling to finish my Optional Essay and Personal Characteristic Essay. Would it still be too late to apply to Texas schools? For reference, my...

Hi Everyone, Just wanted to see what you guys thought when comparing these two schools? If accepted to both, which would you choose (personal opinions totally welcome!)? Thanks!

A residency question on TMDSAS says: By Oct 1 of this year will you have lived in Texas continually for the last 12 months? My permanent address is in TX but I am a rising senior at an out of state college? What do I answer to this question? Is it still 'yes' since I still technically 'live' in...
