Nah I bet they're waiting until Monday or maybe a few days after to see if anyone withdraws after the 15th. Sucks though because it would have been nice to hear!

Woot woot!
Accepted at 3:30 as well!
You can accept on your portal.
Hey all,
Never have posted here before. Saw a bunch of people asking so I wanted to say that I received a scholarship with my pre-match offer. 15,000K a year, renewable each year given that I maintain their academic standards. Not sure if I'll end up here - it's an enticing offer - but I wanted to let the people asking know.
IS 4.0 and 33. No published research, average everything else. Best of luck to everyone still waiting.

Thanks for the info! You can give me the scholarship and I will take it!

Was this scholarship offer stated within the email of acceptance? All I got was (what seemed to be) a standardized email with no specific information to me. And thanks for your response, btw 🙂
Just got an II. Unfortunately I already got accepted to my top choice so I hope this interview goes to someone who needs it!
The scholarship offer was in the same email as my acceptance email. It seemed like they copied and pasted the scholarship offer into the middle of the generic acceptance letter.
I'LL TAKE IT
I would as well 😛 @Make Or Break, thanks for releasing it so people like us can still hope! Just curious, which date(s) were you offered?
Well I'm glad that they are not making me choose who gets the interview date because it would be a very hard decision to make between the both of you!
The dates are either December 11 or December 18. I genuinely hope both of you get invited.
Thanks! At this point, I feel like I'm running on a treadmill... All work without going anywhere...
3.63 cGPA, 3.83 sGPA, 32 MCAT. No research/publications, but I have quite a bit of clinical experience including a year of scribing. Complete August 4th, Interviewed September 26th. Hope this helps, and best of luck to you!!Congratulations to all of you!!!Does anyone mind sharing stats and ECs? 🙂 Thanks in advance!!
Just keep going. You're nearly at the finish line!
Interview for 12/18!!!!
Try to be familiar with the school as much as possible, such as their curriculum, location, etc

And service! They are a huge service school!!!
Thanks, @howdysang! Are you referring to their mission statement? @estanton Do you mean community service? Sorry I'm bothering you guys with so many questions lol But I want o be prepared!! I'm already freaking out 
I think all the waiting after applying is going to turn me into an emational wreck 🙁

As it does to us all. Community service for sure. They're looking for a real heart in their students it seems.
Yes and we both have stats (especially yours) that are above average for this school. They stressed service to me on my interview day. If your stats aren't competitive that's the way to catch their eye.
To be honest though. Most schools are just looking for passion. Express that in something that you do and medicine, apply early and the odds will be in your favor 😉
A&M didn't mention it once on my day.
Sorry guys. This process is a crapshoot.
But seriously. Do as well as you can. Apply early. Be genuine. If you belong at a school you'll end up there.
They want to know specifically why you want to attend their school, and whether you are a good fit through learning how your values align with theirs.Thanks, @howdysang!

So you don't think that we have to send them a letter? What are other people's thoughts on this? Thanks
Does anybody know if/when this school sends another batch of pre-matches??
Unless I'm confusing it with another school, I believe in the past they have sent a second batch one month later (Nov. 17th and then Dec. 17th)
II! I could choose between November 20th (as in two days from now, yikes!) and December 11th.
Hopefully you're right! Thanks
I
I did both just to be safe.

Yes
I accepted via the portal, but the acceptance email also says "An acceptance form will be mailed to you with our formal offer letter," so maybe through that form as well. I haven't received the letter yet though so I'm not sure.
I had a number at the end of the email title also, but I doubt it's their ranking of us. What number did you have?
