I am struggling with deciding to put piano instruction in my AMCAS section. I was taught for 12 years (from 2001 to 2013) and stopped official instruction literally two weeks before I started college. However, I have played the piano in my downtime many times since then. I actually wanted to put...

Keeping the tradition alive on SDN! Use this for discussion of everything and anything related to the Texas medical schools. Good luck to everyone applying this cycle!

I was on a very intensive club sports team during college for 3 months and I quit due to an injury. Would including this activity on my application be risky since it's not something I stuck with/might suggest lack of commitment to ADCOMs?

I'm struggling with deciding on what to write about for the optional "unique circumstance/experience" essay on TMDSAS. One unique circumstance I can think of is my brother being admitted to a drug rehab center when I was a teenager. Do you guys think this would be an appropriate space to discuss...

I am a Texas resident who attended UT Arlington and graduated from UT Austin (the one with the new med school I can't get into). I took a gap two years after graduating with a B.S.A. in Neuroscience and a German minor, and really need some help finding OOS schools where I'd be a good match. 3.4...

Does the TMDSAS give you a report at some point letting you know what they consider your GPA? I have it all calculated but I'd like to know for sure that I did everything correctly

I'm currently working on my TMDSAS and AMCAS activities, and realized I don't really have anything that clearly goes into the Leadership category. Will I be at a huge disadvantage if I don't put anything in this category? I'm really worried about this, to the point where I'm considering applying...

I am a reapplicant, but this cycle will be my first time filling out TMDSAS. I have 32 MCAT from June 2013, but I am retaking it this June because for most schools outside of Texas that is considered expired. TMDSAS wants me to disclose any future MCAT dates, but I am afraid this will delay my...

Hi everyone, I'm a Texas resident currently attending an OOS top 25 university in California. What are my chances for Texas MD, AMCAS MD's, and DO schools based on my given stats? Major: Biology 4th year Asian male TMDSAS/AMCAS cGPA: ~3.5 TMDSAS/AMCAS sGPA: ~3.3 MCAT: 511/85% (Chem: 129 CARS...

Here we go...dare I say it? TMDSAS opens at 8 am this Monday for 2017! :soexcited: Feel free to ask questions, share anxieties and reassurances, and post interview invites and/or acceptances if you'd like! I snagged this great bit from @EasTexan's TMDSAS 2016 thread for sharing interview...

As of now I am signed up for the May 20th test date, but with finals approaching I feel like I won't be as prepared as I would like. The June test dates are full in my state, but there is a July 9th date available. How adversely would the later date affect my application? I feel the stronger...

How long does it take TMDSAS to process your application once your MCAT score is in? I plan on taking my MCAT May 14 for the first time, but now is reconsidering to push it back to June 2nd. But I'm afraid my application will be in the late pile. (At the same time, I don't want to rush my MCAT...

Outlines are to essays what blueprints are to building. When you apply to TMDSAS, you can select from ten medical schools in Texas to submit your application to. Only five of these schools require secondaries. The secondary essays are due when you submit your primary application. You submit the...

Your application is considered incomplete until all your letters of evaluation have been received. There are two options when submitting letters of evaluation to TMDSAS. They request either a committee letter or two individual letters of recommendation. For the committee letter, they will...

Hi, I am a Minnesota resident applying to allopathic medical school in the upcoming cycle this summer. My undergrad is notoriously slow with their comittee letter process. Is there an advantage to applying to a Texas state school via the TMDSAS to speed the process up? The application opens up...

Think of all your activities and start listing them! Similar to the AMCAS application, the TMDSAS has an activities section for you to list all experiences since your high school graduation. They have nine sub-sections that include: Academic Recognition, Non-Academic Recognition, Leadership...

Reflect on the moment you knew you wanted to become a doctor. The Texas Medical and Dental Schools Application Service (TMDSAS) has its own application process. You can begin filling out their electronic application by May 1 and the deadline to submit their application is October 1. The...

Hey all! I've kind of run into a dilemma here for applying this upcoming application cycle--especially for TMDSAS. The dilemma: After weighing my options and commitments realistically this semester (I'm a college student) I'm planning to take the MCAT on June 18th so that I can have some extra...

Hopefully everyone did well in the TMDSAS match today! If you didn't match, or didn't match to your school of interest, all hope is not lost! :) This thread is for those hoping to get off waitlists at any of the Texas schools. If you're waitlisted at any of these schools, just post in this...

Say you have only one interview and interview season is over. Then you match that one school as #1 on TMDSAS. On Match Day, can you still be rejected by that school?

I'm applying this cycle, I submitted my app in July and my DAT score in late August. I got a 19AA 20TS 15PAT. Planned to retake because of the low PAT, but I've gotten 2 interviews so far (Houston, San Antonio). I have a high gpa 3.97 overall 3.94 science, lots of volunteer and dental...
