Hey everyone! I am applying this cycle on AMCAS and TMDSAS for the 2024-2025 cycle. I am a NC resident and go to a top-50 private US college. MCAT: 524 (131/129/132/132) sGPA, cGPA: 4.0 Race: ORM (Chinese) Major: Biochemistry and Spanish Key Interests: Public Health, MD, MD-MPH dual degree...

The reason for the lower cumulative GPA is that while I started to show an upward trend after my sophomore year, I gained 2 Fs in the summer after sophomore year. This is due to me having to go to India to care for my parents and sister because they were all hospitalized and bedridden, which...

Long Pros Love the city, lower cost of living and tuition High graduation rate, good pediatric match Able to take STEP early and get more decision about your own schedule Abuse-pediatric program Cons Graded H/HP/P scale Not NBME exams Lower "rank" consensus than Baylor Baylor Pros In...

Hi yall so I'm trying to see which school between Baylor and UTSW is chiller. I know that UTSW had a reputation of having a more rigorous curriculum but I'm not sure if that still stands in more recent times.

This is a very difficult decision for me and I'm wanting some outside opinions/thoughts. I am a TX resident and have to decide how I'll rank these two schools (Univ. of Texas Rio Grande Valley vs Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine). If TCOM was an MD school, I'd choose it in a heartbeat. But...

Hi! I go to a school where Biology Laboratory 1 and 2 alongside Physics Laboratory 1 and 2 are only offered as a pass/fail courses. Additionally, they only offer one semester of General Chemistry Laboratory. I'm a Texas resident so I'm looking to apply to schools in the TMDSAS, will this make...

Over the years, I have developed an interest in public health and want to pursue an MPH in med school, but I am unsure if designating MD/MPH on TMDSAS will put me at a disadvantage for admittance. I know now that some AMCAS schools become more competitive for MD/MPH (like UCLA), so I am only...

Last cycle I applied to every TMDSAS school (DO included) and received a whopping 0 interviews. I assume this was due to my lack of clinical experience. I have tried very hard over the last few months to gain meaningful clinical experience that I can reflect on in my application. I have bolded...

Hello, I'm trying to figure out which school to rank higher on TMDSAS. I could find only one post about this from 2018. Now that 4 years have passed and Dell has become more established, I'm curious to hear other opinions on this comparison. Personally, I found the culture/ vibe at both...

I am filling out the application, and one question asks "Do you have a parent or legal guardian who is a physician or is in medical school?" My mother went to medical school before immigrating to the US and obtained an MBBS, but never practiced (in that country or in the US). In the US, she was...

I have currently been accepted to both Long SOM and McGovern and am having trouble deciding between the two schools. Long SOM: I have been offered a full-ride here, so I would be able to graduate without debt. I really enjoyed my interview here, but I've never been to San Antonio nor do I know...

Hi Everyone. Thanks for taking the time to review this post. I have been caught between Dell vs UTSW for quite some time. Before the winter holiday, I had decided on UTSW being the best choice for me, due to the proximity to home and prestige. However, Dell has offered me a full tuition...

Trying to decide what to rank first, and am looking for y'all's thoughts. As of right now, I think I want to go into primary care, PM&R, or anesthesiology but this could easily change. Note: I haven't prematched at McGovern UHCOM Pros Received full-tuition scholarship P/F Brand new building...

Hello everyone, With TMDSAS Match coming up, I need help deciding between UTSW and UT McGovern. Right now I am leaning towards McGovern, but I need help deciding. Both have a great curriculum and clinical/research opportunities, and similar class size - Feel free to discuss this opinion! That...

I know it's still early, but I'm trying to get as much information as possibly. This is a big decision so I'd really appreciate everyone's input/thoughts I live in Dallas, prematched with TCOM and interviewed with Dell and McGovern. Dell: It was my first interview and I REALLY enjoyed it...

For future application cycles, I believe the important dates are: 1) AMCAS, AACOMAS, and TMDSAS opening and submission dates, 2) the MCAT deadline for that application cycle, 3) CASPer, Duet, Snapshot, and AAMC SJT opening dates (the first dates you can take those tests), 4) secondary...

Hi friends, I've been really fortunate to interview at 3 schools now, one of which being my top choice school. Between cost, programs offered, and vibes at the interview, I am confident that I would commit to this school over any of my others, even if I got accepted anywhere else. I know the...

Hi! I am a current EY2022 applicant who graduated in May 2021 so I am doing a gap year. Due to COVID-19 my plans were extremely tenuous at the beginning of the application cycle so I put down one of my degree plan options on the primary (Plan B), and then both of my possible options on all of...

hi! i was wondering if anyone could read and critique my essay about my experience growing up in a socioeconomically disadvantaged community. thanks!

Hello everyone, I have a uncomp. udergrad gpa 2.7, but did a post-bacc retaking my pre-reqs and got a 4.0. It is my first semester in grad school right now doing a masters in medical sciences and im taking 2 class in the A summer term which end next month, and 2 more classes which end in...

Hi everyone, I went to the pre-dental days/ impression days at UTSD and TAMCOD, would this go under healthcare activities or extracurricular activities? Thanks!

When you apply to TMDSAS, you can select from thirteen medical schools in Texas to submit your application to. Twelve of these schools require secondaries. The secondary essays are due when you submit your primary application. You submit these essays directly to the schools, at the same time...

Hi guys! I would appreciate any input on how my GPA trends look. I'm studying for the MCAT to take it in about 5ish months to be ready to apply to only Texas schools. I am confident in all the other areas of my application, but my GPA is my weakest area. Past & Current ECs include: (deleted...

I know people will say it is still "early" in the cycle due to COVID, but I'm getting nervous seeing all of the ii for TMDSAS schools on SDN. I completed all of the Texas school secondaries (except Dell) in mid-July and have only received an ii from UTMB. Anyone else in the same boat? IS, ORM...

Hi everyone, I plan to be applying through TMDSAS for the 2021 cycle and was hoping people could provide some advice on whether I should retake or not. I recently showed my advisor my scores and she recommended I retake, but I've also seen people say that taking the second time could be risky...

I am a US citizen who did his high school in a foreign country and I earned my GCE A-levels at the end of my high school. I have attended a community College in Texas for 2 years and recently transferred into a university. The problem is that the university I have transferred into has assigned...

I'm a CA resident, female, ORM. Decently high stats -- 517 and 3.84 GPA, ~3.75 sGPA. But since TMDSAS don't see grades as +/-, I think my GPA would go up in their eyes because I have quite a few A-'s that would translate as regular A's in their system. Is it too late to apply to TMDSAS? Thank you

Hello, I just took the DAT today after having it postponed three times! I need some advice. There were some major technical glitches during my test resulting in me losing lots of time and they may let me retake it within a month to replace the scores free of charge. Should I take it again? I...

Hey everyone! I have already submitted my AADSAS app to my (1) state school, and it has been verified. I have yet to take the DAT (set for July 15). Does anyone know which dental schools are reviewing applications without receiving DAT scores first? Besides that, my application is fully...
