[BMEN]

[asrikrishnan]

Same here! I was beginning to think it would never change lol

to both of us!

 

[therunner12]

I don't get their system at all. A kid I work with submitted his secondary three weeks after me, he's under review and I'm still pending.

Are your transcripts and your mcat scores finally submitted to TMDSAS?

Yup, everything was in when I submitted my secondary on 6/1. Marked all true on 7/6. Submitting all of my stuff early has helped me zilch thus far.

Ouch. Well who knows it might be marked true soon. Its still ahead of the game than many others still applying and waiting for scores.

I was marked all true on 7/5 and I'm still pending too.

I have no clue either man. TMDSAS transmitted my application on 5/23 and I had my secondary done on 5/18. I only now got the review status. I'm sure you'll get it either tomorrow or early next week.

 

[therunner12]

I hope so. I just want school to start so I don't have so much free time to worry about this stuff. Haha.

Same here. I have too much free time to check my emails

 

[nysw]

Crap, I need to get on my game and submit this secondary. :/
Why is this the most difficult secondary out of all of the TX schools?

I actually thought TTech lubbock was way worse.

Both were pretty laborious.

Is anyone who submitted everything (TMDSAS, secondary, MCAT, fee) in May still waiting for all four "trues"?

I have three trues, all except "fee", and I paid almost two months ago. When I paid it only asked me to pay $50, whereas now I see they upped it to $60... time email them or just be patient?

Email them. I paid $60 six weeks ago.

 

[PianoMajor]

It's a quiet day in Texas so far

 

[mjjdm1985]

Contact them. I paid last week and it is already true. Why email and not call? I think I would call.

Too quiet. It's unsettling. I'm not even getting any spam mail to get my hopes up just to have them shot back down

Same here. Im still waiting for interview invite number 1.

 

[therunner12]

+1

It's unsettling to see people with lower stats getting interviews. Makes me think I'm a poor writer.

I'm sure you will get some 🙂 If you're on SDN then your stats are probably as good or better than mine 😀

Maybe your picture makes the adcoms think you might be mentally unbalanced 😉

Haha, that is a possibility. I did use a picture from 2 years ago so maybe they just think I'm babyfaced. It's the same as my avatar minus the glasses.

3.6cgpa, 3.7sgpa, 30 mcat. Traveled the world playing piano. Played in Carnegie hall. Played with Boston symphony orchestra. Nobody in Texas cares as of now. I bet a 3.8 and one pub trumps all that.

I used my 16 year old self for a picture. I look basically the same. Just the picture makes me look slimmer



Morzh: Call the admissions office

Lol I accidentally included a picture in which I had not completely shaved, but if you have the beard from your avatar I think I'm okay!

I care. That's ridiculously awesome!

Dude thats freaking awesome. I played at Carnegie back in high school with my schools full orchestra. I wish you the best of luck. Us musicians need to stick together.

I woke up to two email notifications- first was from Fandango, second was a Zaggshield warranty email. Definitely the quickest excitement-turned-to-disappointment ever lol

 

[QAnn1988]

Hey y'all!

I finally switched to "Under Review" today. Secondary submitted 5/17 and was pending for quite a while...don't know how much reviewing will be done since it is a Friday! Hopefully they will be so anxious to get home that they put me on the interview pile!

Or they are so anxious to get home that they put you in the "save for later" pile.

 

[QAnn1988]

that is probably more realistic thinking lol.

 

[sector9]

I switched to under review today as well.

Yeah, TX schools can be slow to process stuff but not that slow.

 

[QAnn1988]

good luck!

I'm a little curious sector, are you a texas resident?

Best of luck.

His mdapps says he's from California.

Good luck, sector9 and QAnn1988! I got switched to under review earlier this week so maybe (hopefully) we'll all be receiving interview invites around the same time 🙂

 

[BMEN]

His mdapps says he's from California.

I always forget about checking those...

 

[therunner12]

Still pending here guys :/.

 

[BMEN]

Yet you are all true?

 

[therunner12]

Yet you are all true?

Yup, been all true for ~2 weeks now.

 

[BMEN]

Yup, been all true for ~2 weeks now.

I would call if they dont have it done by the middle of next week

 

[izalexzi]

Yup, been all true for ~2 weeks now.

Same! grrrr...

 

[asrikrishnan]

Has anyone been notified of anything besides an interview invite for those that have been under review?

Btw this is really cool. I bet at least by August the interview invites will start pouring in for you. Out of curiosity why aren't you pursuing a career in music?

 

[sector9]

The "under review" message on BAMF makes it sound like we will either get an interview invite between now and December, or in December all of us without interviews will be rejected. I could have read it wrong though

 

[asrikrishnan]

I guess that is a good thing... but that could mean that we are all in for a ton of waiting lol. Oh well I suppose that is to be expected with this entire process.
