Taking bets for when the next batch is sent out. The options are 12/12, 12/15, or other.

12/15

Other

 

[pasc0751]

I'll take tonight at midnight (so technically 12/13)

 

[Dr. Space Cadet]

I'd heard that the committee meets on Thursdays, so perhaps tonights is most likely?

 

[DoctorDeath2015]

I just don't understand how other years have had multiple "waves," like they mentioned, and we, supposedly, only had the 15th. Strange...has anyone emailed the admins lately to see what's up?

Very large waitlist movement this year?

 

[BananaBhai]

Very large waitlist movement this year?

Or maybe more matches??

I like the logic of it being today, but why at night? I would expected during the day

 

[chijumi]

Any other pre-matchers get the 'hold off on buying a computer until we know what the computing requirements will be' e-mail?

My favorite part: "I am also writing with an unusual message"
Me: "Oh no, my offer is about to get rescinded"

 

[aceav8or]

Well that's one down, double or nothing for the 15th anyone? I'm still expecting it to be later, perhaps even the 31st.

 

[BananaBhai]

Word on the street is that two other Med schools are sending out their second wave next week. UTSW may just follow suit.

 

[smoreno10]

Hey guys just to let you know I think you all are waiting for the third wave because I know of four people that got their pre match offers nov 25. I'm pretty sure they told us during our interview day that 12/15 is the last day they will extend pre match offers

Do you mean four people that DIDN'T get their pre match offers nov. 25th?

 

[smoreno10]

No they got the email on November 25. I prematched the 15th and I guess the 25th was the second wave.

This is looking dire.

 

[smoreno10]

One OOS and three in state. Keep the faith it's not over yet! A lot of students I met during my interview day got in later 🙂 and well i think there's still going to be one more wave of prematch offers

 

[aceav8or]

Does anyone know if UTSW accepts letters of intent?

They said they assume effectively everyone that interviewed would seriously consider an offer, so letters have little weight.

 

[I'mNotCleverEnough]

If we don't hear back from pre-match, do we update our transcripts? Does anyone know if we have to send in new transcripts to eitherTMDSAS or directly to the TX med schools?

 

[NCKSD]

I never updated my transcripts and got in off the waitlist during the 2nd semester. Just a note.. Although I dont think it matters whether you do or not

 

[Dr Granger]

If you don't update your transcripts TMDSAS sends you a strongly worded email. I didn't send them over the summer bc I only took a 3hr elective class for my major that I made an A in. I sent them in the next day lol

Same haha.

 

[smoreno10]

Does anyone know what time the second wave of acceptances was sent out? Was it at midnight night like the first wave?

I don't think so. I heard from my friends at around 5 pm

 

[DrStrangeisDoomed]

At around 4:30 for me.

 

[DirkN]

Is there a change on the secondary application portal once you've been accepted?

 

[smoreno10]

They let me know at 5 pm mountain standard time. And no the portal stays the same.

 

[Dangdang]

Kind of nervous now, really hope to get in.

 

[smoreno10]

Okay nevermind I just checked my portal and it does add two more options. But that wasn't there when they sent me the email on the 15th.

 

[1993hopeful]

i haven't heard anything about this bed and breakfast stuff but it's on my portal - anyone get any info about it?

 

[smoreno10]

No I haven't heard anything about it but that's there and so is a day with doc thing

 

[drdoorittre]

It would appear that the only prematching until the 15th isn't true. Or maybe they just aren't sending any more out. Or nobody on SDN got one this round.

It would blow my mind if us SDNers miss the second and third waves of UTSW prematches. We are supposed to be the neurotic cream of the crop, dammit!

Agreed. I was just being pessimistic. 🙂

 

[pasc0751]

How I feel about UTSW...

 

[1993hopeful]

anyone get any info on MS0 weekend yet? also, is utsw giving us any ipads or computers or something

 

[DrStrangeisDoomed]

Has anyone been able to start ranking schools on TMDSAS?

 

[aceav8or]

Has anyone been able to start ranking schools on TMDSAS?

Yeah, I ranked some in November.

 

[premedpostmom]

I prematched!!!

 

[funkymonkey0987]

Congrats premedpostmom! Can you share your interview date/stats/when exactly you got the mail? Thanks!

 

[DrStrangeisDoomed]

Nvm I messaged TMDSAS. They got it fixed.

 

[premedpostmom]

I interviewed December 5th and I'm IS. I received the email yesterday. Hope that helps!

 

[sprinklesandcupcakes]

Did anyone else get the financial aid preparation email from utsw? Does this mean anything?

 

[drdoorittre]

I got it too. Don't think it means anything.

 

[clairephillips]

Did anyone else get the financial aid preparation email from utsw? Does this mean anything?

Got it. Haven't even interviewed yet.

 

[premedpostmom]

Does anyone know if we have to sign in and accept the pre-match anywhere. I didn't receive any instruction on this so I assume we do not but I just want to make sure.

Return the letter by marking as accept by specified date. Also you can ask for digital copy by email. But yes you need to accept pre-match.

 

[Jr MD]

Is there a Facebook page for accepted students?

 

[premedpostmom]

So do we have a class thread anywhere for people who k

Is there a Facebook page for accepted students?

[Dr_MindyLahiri]

So is everyone in agreement that a post-interview letter of intent is basically pointless?
