2015-2016 Texas A&M Health Science Center Application Thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
what's interfolio? Is this an OOS thing?
Interfolio is an online service that allows you to have electronic versions of LORs or CVs or any other document you need for applications. You can send these documents directly to schools or application services while still remaining confidential. It is very useful when applying out of state.

Do we have any information on the matriculation materials packet? Does anyone recall when it was sent out last year?

Overall good match year. Just a general over country wide match observation, Ortho and EM were super competitive. IM and GS are getting up there in competitiveness

What is the housing situation like? I saw Hawthorne is just down the road but it's on the more expensive side. Looking for something low key and within 15 or so minutes.

When I looked IM was at 43 I thought ? Maybe being stuck at lab made me miscount. Also one more of the vascular spots was at Arkansas

Can't believe they still haven't sent out the campus designations. The e-mail said it would be March but it's soon to be April.

does anyone know the last day to fill out FAFSA?

3/19 was the "Priority Deadline" but you should submit it no matter what. I know someone who didn't submit until June last year. You can't be considered for any financial aid without it.
 
Oh you poor thing
Better luck next year?

Couldn't they have picked a better weekend for it? Parents weekend and ring weekend for the undergrads means no hotel vacancy :prof:

first wave of waitlist offers went out on april 16th of last year (I was one of those lucky few)
waitlist movement will pick up DRAMATICALLY after may 1st, so keep an eye out.
you'll receive a personal call from Filo notifying you. basically started crying at work. but it was worth it.

I think the thing I am most worried about is the fact that I can technically only be on the waitlist until June 1... because I am accepted at another school, and honestly can't give up the opportunity to go to medical school just because I would rather go to A&M... I just hope I can get off the waitlist by the end of May.

Hey everyone! I'm applying this upcoming cycle and had a question for y'all. How strict is A&M on their 2 professor LOR policy? I have 1 professor but also my PI who I got research credit from but isn't technically a professor. How much of a problem would this be?

That policy goes for most schools if I remember correctly, and at the time I was applying I was told not to push it. I would use your PI as your third reference and try to find another professor that can attest to your academic performance.
 
Just received a call and got accepted off the waitlist! I am so excited to be going to Texas A&M!

Just accepted off the waitlist! I am more than honored to join the class of 2020 TAMHSC

I was left with the option of the Bryan 4 year track or the 1 Year Bryan/3 year Temple track. Any advice from current students on the major difference between the two?

Biggest difference is the A&M Integrated Medicine (AIM). Check it out on the website. That's a big reason I pref'ed the Bryan track. Also, I love Bryan/College Station.

Both are small towns: cheap, easy, quiet living. There is the 'college scene' in BCS if you're into that, I found it got old pretty quick, better things to do with my sparse free time.

BCS does indeed have the AIM track, which I can't pretend to know a lot about. Suggest you look it up on the site. Also the appealling idea of not having to move again in a year.

On the other hand, Temple is one of the biggest medical centers in the area, and it receives the largest volume of cases, and some of the most interesting ones. If you're at all interested in research or specialties like surgery, I suggest going to Temple; it's also the most established.
 
Accepted!! Phone call this morning. Interviewed mid-November. Best of luck to everyone!

I know Houston has TMC which is great but how does Temple stack up to, say, Austin or Dallas?
 
The quality of the clinical rotations

New second year here, can't help you with that! The pervasive rhetoric is that you get to "do more" at Round Rock because there's no residents or fellows, but that's really just not true: if you look for opportunities to get involved they're abundant anywhere. As I said, Temple has been around the longest, so their clinicals have stood the test of time. Round rock and and Dallas are newer campuses, but both have a lot to offer. Both are located in cities so likely have greater opportunity to experience a wide range of environments. Temple is pretty much a hospital, but there are clinical environments as well.
