Med School Insiders
This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Does anyone happen to have the contact information for the Navy recruiter that gave a short presentation? Or who I might contact to get that information.

Yes, A&M is receptive to an update letter. I encourage everyone reading this to send an update or letter of interest to all the schools you still haven't received an II from.

Who did you send your letter of interest to at a&m? Should I call admissions before sending? I really want an interview here and haven't heard anything...
 
I have a question: I've received one Texas interview (in Sept), and it's the only Texas int. I've had before Nov. 15. Since it's the only school on my prematch list at the moment, should I check it now or wait? It's possible I may get other Texas interviews by January (super hopeful!) so what is the best option?
Thanks!

What do you mean by "check it now?"

In terms of ranking the schools,it'd be "1" since I haven't interviewed anywhere else. I'm just trying to understand the purpose of it b/c I don't fully understand how it works...

Oh! It doesn't matter how you rank because it won't be finalized until it's due which is in like three months.

That's for match day on Feb 2nd. You can get pre-match offers starting this Saturday that are separate from the ranking on that page.

Okay, see I don't understand what "pre match offers" mean and how it differs from the rankings on the website...
 
Afford said:
Oh those are just acceptance offers before match day if you're a Texas resident.

OHHH....so essentially, starting Saturday they begin to send out offers, but I can just put down "1" for the school I interviewed at before and change it later if get any other interviews?

If I was complete at the end of June with a 29/3.7 and haven't heard back yet, should I just assume it's a silent rejection? I only have 1 II so far and it's killing me 🙁

We're in the same boat my friend. I have another one out of state next month, but I've only had one in TX so far...
 
Does anyone know if Nov. 15th will be the first day of the prematch period for this cycle? Because the 15th will be a Saturday. Thanks!

I just received an interview invite this morning! I've never posted on here before but I just wanted to tell everyone that there is still a chance if you are still waiting! It has been a month and a half since my first two so I had just about lost all hope of hearing from A&M.

That's awesome, congrats!! Do you mind sharing stats/when you were complete?

Where are you interviewing? College Station was a long but very informative day, they are super well organized and friendly!

Whoo! Go Aggies! I am grateful to be accepted.
 
Does anybody know if A&M is still sending out interview invites? I recently received interviews from a couple of the UT system schools, but I haven't heard anything from here. I submitted my secondary on the last day, so I was thinking they might not have even got to application yet. Do yall think A&M is out of the question at this point?
 
I interviewed at 6 schools, all but one of my interviews was before 9/15, with a 3.3 cGPA 3.8 sGPA and 37 MCAT, and I didn't get a single pre match invitation. I knew this was a possibility, but I'm pretty devastated, and scared. This whole process is so confusing and opaque. I really wanted to get a prematch from A&M, I thought my interview went great.
 
I got accepted! What does 'accepting the offer' mean for Texas schools?

Just keep your head up. It's only be 9 hours and 35 minutes since they started sending invites out. I think you should be confident in yourself. I'm rooting for you.

I got an invite just yesterday for an interview this upcoming Thursday (11/20). It seems like it must have been to fill in for someone that cancelled but it does mean that there is still hope.
 
Would you guys that prematched today share your stats as well as when you were completed?
