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...

Hey guys, I recently took the MCAT and got a 505 which I know is below the average but with a 4.0 GPA do you think I have a shot at MD schools in Texas? Or would I be better off retaking the exam?

Hi guys! I got my MCAT back today, and was really really happy with it at first! But when I told my parents about it, my dad (a doctor) said it's a poor score, and now I'm kind of crushed and scared that it's not good enough. Do you think I stand a chance at getting into a medical school...

As someone with no ties to Texas, are there any TX Aways that are unlikely to help me get my foot in the door at other TX programs? i.e. are there TX programs that other TX programs take less seriously for some reason? For instance, some programs that have been getting strong reviews on SDN...

Hello SDN! I am a college senior planning on taking two gap years before entering medical school. I had been hoping to spend my first gap year gaining clinical experience by working as a scribe, however looking at the MSAR it appears that my stats are too low to be competitive at most schools...

So I am a TN resident and I know that Texas med schools have separate applications. Do Texas schools primarily accept in state students? As in if I have a competitive application, is it worth also applying to Texas schools and having to fill out the separate application?
