Submitted on May 18th. I called up there and she said as long as I had completed both of the forms on the secondary app that I was fine, but I'm a little paranoid because all of the people I know have received one.

Did you submit the secondary application as well?

I have!

I would check your Spam folder, I think they mentioned something about having trouble sending out emails through the application folder and it automatically being in the spam/junk folder!

Also, how long did it take for tmdsas to process the application?

It looks like nowadays about 3 weeks, they update the TMDSAS Support Twitter page with which applications they are processing each day.

Words cannot describe my jealousy! Congratulations!

I turned in my app a few weeks later than you so I'm keeping my fingers crossed but it seems I've already missed the boat on SA

Thanks! Does it actually matter whether you submit on TMDSAS or AADSAS with supplemental? Congrats on your interview by the way! That is so exciting

I don't think so. I submitted mine with AADSAS and the supplemental and got an interview yesterday as well.

I’m not sure, but I do think that applying through TMDSAS is better because there are extra essays so you can sell yourself more. A large majority of the out of state students I know that have interviewed in Texas applied through TMDSAS as well.

You also get your app in way earlier.

Wish I had have done that. Congrats on all your Texas interviews!

I personally liked taking up the option for going into the labs after checking out of the interview to meet/observe students. I guess since it was on our own time (and I wasn't anticipating an interview) it just felt more relaxed to talk with them then. I met a student who was an OOS applicant, so it might be a good opportunity to meet someone with a similar situation who can share their experience and why they chose A&M. Even though I was short on time to make my flight home I felt like I got the most out of my visit and it was definitely worth it, so I would suggest making time for that after your interview check-out if you can.

Does anyone know if you can get into this school for 2018-19 cycle without Anatomy and Physiology. I know its highly recommended, but did anyone get an interview without it? Thank you

Has anyone heard anything? Texas schools seem to be real quiet this year. I got one from Houston but nothing from A&M or San Antonio.

I've heard back from A&M and Houston, but nothing from San Antonio. I believe San Antonio only sends out interview invites every 2 weeks (not sure if its true or not)

I've only heard from A&M and I have a friend that heard from Houston and San Antonio but not A&M.

Whats a chance of an international student getting accepted? I moved to texas in high school and will live there for the rest of my life but my status currently is still as an international student. I havent heard back from them yet and it’s my number 1 choice. I know the chance of getting in is very slim since they barely even accept out of state, but I really want to go there...

I believe so! There were 3 interview days with around 10 applicants each, which just about matches the stats

The schools don't usually give out those numbers. Someone asked when I interviewed at Dallas and Houston, and both times they said they couldn't say.

 

[DDS4lyf]

what time does a&m send out emails?

 

[Chubz0924]

what time does a&m send out emails?

last year they sent them out around 7 am, the year before they sent them out at 12, it just depends tbh
