Yes they did!
ok thanks! I emailed mine and haven't heard back yet.

hmm I haven't heard yet.
nope- what kind of email was it?
Merlin has repetitively been e-mailing me, stating that I need to make an eRaider e-mail account. I attempted to make one, but I need an activation code. I called IT, who transferred me to student services...who transferred me to PF's IT...who stated I needed to talk to student services, find my sponsor and get an ID. I gave up. lol
ah. really? I was under the impression we make the email accounts after paperwork is all finalized (aka we are going there for sure)
Has anybody got an acceptance that interviewed Nov. 14 and beyond?
My friend interviewed yesterday and pre matched today. Unfortunately it's still the waiting game for me :/

Does anyone else think more pre-matches will go on 12/16 based on last years thread?
I interviewed this past thurs and they said we could possibly hear back as soon as the next day, or maybe Monday (12/16), so yes I was expecting some prematches to go out by yesterday. I haven't heard anything, so I'm hoping they just haven't sent them out yet! :O
I interviewed Dec. 5th, and I remember them saying that they review interviewees the evening of the interview. They then rank the interviewees and give out pre matches as needed. So, depending on how where they rank you, one could get a prematch the day after the interview (happened to someone who interviewed the same day as me).
Do you guys remember what they said about apartments? I think one of the biggest factors in choosing a school for me is making sure I can get an apartment near the school (within a 5-10 minute walk). Someone told me that Foster's closest apartments are a 15 minute drive. Is this true? I completely forgot what they said about housing.
They said most students lived on the west side. Which is probably 10-15 minute (NOT SURE) depending on traffic. Of course there's apartments everywhere though..
I stayed with a student on the West side of town (past the mountain range). It took about 20mins to get to Foster in the morning, with traffic. The student I was staying with told me that there is apartment-style housing in downtown el paso (5-10 mins drive?), but virtually nothing that is within walking distance.
I stayed with a person on the East side I think. They said most people live on the west side but it was a little more expensive so they got one on the east side. I think from either direction it's a 10-15 min drive. I remember taking the highway though the entire way and it was a quick and easy drive.
Thank you all for your replies! That really sucks though. I would hate to drive every single day. 🙁
Just to add, I also heard most live on the west side. One student lived on the west side in a duplex for 700-800/month and another student had a 1 bedroom apartment on the east side close to school for 550/month. They both were very happy with their places so it seems like CoL would be pretty low in El Paso.

I interviewed here yesterday. What an awesome school and curriculum! Everyone there was so friendly and the school looks so new! El Paso was also surprisingly nice and beautiful.
I just got a pre-match offer to TCOM today, but I would love to come to Tx Tech-El Paso. I hope I get the chance! 🙂

Congratulations!!
Thank you! Congratulations to you as well!
Congratulations to all those accepted! Does anyone know if that does it for pre-match offers this year?
I interviewed this past thursday and received an acceptance email on friday.
Students from TT lubbock have gone out to El Paso for clinicals for decades so they have plenty of quality sites.
I think you'll stay in EP all for 4 yrs with an option doing a rotation somewhere else your 4th yr.
Prematches end December 31
Ranked EP #1 and hoping to hear good news on match day. So tired of waiting. Im curious at to what my odds are. I'm hoping a lot of the prematches go elsewhere and most of the class comes from match.

Lol we can only hope this is the case!
I was told they were conservative with their prematches and filled most of the class through match so there's a good chance for a lot of people.
I remember the med student I stayed with mentioned that he knew more people who matched than pre-matched. There is always hope!
