Sure thing.
Transmitted 9/4 OOS
3.7cGPA, 3.86sciGPA 34MCAT (retake)
TMDSAS' gpa calculation system sure helped me. My AMCAS gpa is lower so I'm lucky to get some love from Texas schools!
 
For those who received the acceptance this morning, was anyone OOS?
 
Thanks for the response! Hopefully they're not done yet I really want a pre-match here :nailbiting:

Interviewed late September--felt like these were my strongest interviews of the season.
They told is they didn't pre match heavily but maybe this year they did?
 
Congratz again to all those who prematched.

I will be applying to all TX schools in 2015 and wanted to ask you guys what was one thing unexpected or something during your interview that took you by surprise? Seems like UT Houston interviews are quite relaxed which makes me more comfortable. 🙂

Honestly I haven't had anything in my interviews at 4 TX schools so far that was unexpected. They've all been relaxed and conversational. The biggest issue I've had with them is that at one of the schools one of the interviewers had a somewhat strong accent that was difficult to understand.

Ugh I totally understand. I interviewed early September and thought I had my strongest interview here, I really wanted a pre-match too! I still don't think they pre-matched a lot, one of my friends is an MS1 there and he said they only sent out like 40 pre matches. So I'm sure they'll fill most of their class through the match still.

Like only 40 for this particular year?
 
Does the 40 number seem a bit off or is it just me? It seems like I'm seeing as many prematches at UTH as I am at UTMB and UTMB is usually considered much more prematch heavy. Or maybe I am just going crazy.
 
They might be trying something new in terms of match/pre match proportions... I and another friend also pre matched.

Just to make sure, accepting UTH's offer isn't binding, right? They're one of my top choices, but I haven't decided where to go yet.

Nope! The email says we can write to withdraw at any time after accepting the offer (mailing that form in).
 
Idk, I couldn't find a FB group, only one for Class of 2018. Maybe we should make one?
 
232 for 2013. I think I heard 235 for 2014, but not positive.

Pre-Matched on Saturday! So excited! Interviewed 9/29, LizzyM 73.

And I agree that 40 seems like a small number to have so many SDNers prematch, but I guess it's possible.
 
I also Pre-Matched Saturday - didn't post then. Super surprised since I had heard they did not send out many Pre-Matches. LizzyM 73. Interviewed 9/19. I mailed my signed acceptance letter today. 🙂

It's not like an Adcom told me that, one of the MS1s told me that's what he heard...so who really knows?
