Same on the OOS silence. I interviewed Oct 16, the day after first acceptances went out, and have heard crickets.
Do you mean they will tell you that you are on the wait list in mid march or you have been released from the wait list?Spoke to the admissions office a few minutes ago. The wait list will be released mid March. You will receive an email. Until then there will not be much communication!

Same here. Haven't gotten an email since I pre-matched. To make it even worse, I did not get an email concerning my acceptance until I checked it on TMDSAS. Called and they told me they have a problem with outlook. Did you get a mailed letter of acceptance?
I pre-matched here, but haven't received anything in the mail yet. According to current Tech students, they got their letter and miscellany in the mail some time in April. Congrats to everyone who matched here today!For people who got accepted, did you guys get anything in the mail? Like a packet?
Renting a house in the area west of Greek Circle would be my advice, granted you have the means (a little pricier). As long as you stay away from McDougalland (area just east of University), you should be fine as far as avoiding freshmen and undergrads.Matched. Interviewed for MBA program in November, still waiting to hear back. Does anyone know the ideal neighborhoods in Lubbock? I'd hate to end up in a freshman apartment .
I know at least 5 people who got off Tech waitlist. Won't happen until May though. Largely due to acceptances at Baylor and people required to hold only 1 acceptance.about how many people make it off the waitlist every year?
I think you're right. However, there's OOSers every year who go elsewhere. And I have a hunch that those of us that interviewed after the 15th of October will be the first ones they consider too, since we really haven't gotten a chance yet. Look at last year's thread and you'll see a few OOS got in March-May off the WL.does anybody know when the last time OOS applicants have been accepted? I'll probably call soon, but I'm trying to see if they have already filled the spots they can or if they still have some spots to hand out. I interviewed late November and I'm starting to think that all the spots were given out before I even interviewed
Join the FB group! It's called Texas tech school of medicine class of 2020. Some older med students have posted about a spring training weekend April 8-10 that's for housing, information and such!Matched too. Not sure if anyone said this yet but is there a welcome weekend or something that all the MS0s attend to find apartments/visit the TTUHSC again? Super excited!
I think just be patient, I think I read that they wont use any grades or anything at this point to determine your statusIf we did not match and are hoping for the waitlist to come through for us, do we still need to submit our transcripts from the fall to TMDSAS or have any other type of communication with the school, or just be patient?
I'm sure you'll get an email soon with the link - but what baconator was talking about was the login info for a link that was sent in the acceptance email. The link should be the same one that had your interview invite/secondary app/etc so you should be able to access it regardless of the email
gracey7 have you received any other e-mail from the school besides the acceptance one? I've had issues receiving e-mail from them (currently getting my email address on file changed to a different one, so hopefully that will be fixed soon!), I found out that an email went out about spring training that I didnt receive either. I just wanted to make sure I haven't missed anything else?
In the FAQ section of financial aid on the website it says that it's not required!Do any of you know if Tech requires parental information on your fafsa? I swear I remember reading that somewhere, but can't confirm. I called into the office and they said it wasn't required... but the people I talked to seemed kinda clueless. Let me know if any of you have read this anywhere!
I've been told it's not ranked and they won't tell you where you are on it. They pull from the waitlist depending on who declined their acceptance. But idk if everyone gets put on it... Has anyone been denied or heard of anyone being denied this round?Does anyone know how Tech's waitlist works? Is everyone on it? Will they tell you your ranking?
Just saw a facebook post of an acceptance today, FYIAny news on the waitlist?
I saw a couple too, but the ones I saw were people who were in an early acceptance program getting their official notification, not someone who went through the regular app. @unparapluie might've seen something different though!In State or Out of State?
ISIn State or Out of State?
All the Early Acceptance students were notified either on Feb 1 or a couple of days after that, and the post I mentioned showed the date the acceptance email was sent - 02/24, for the entering class of 2016!I saw a couple too, but the ones I saw were people who were in an early acceptance program getting their official notification, not someone who went through the regular app. @unparapluie might've seen something different though!
If I understand this, because the wait list is unranked, does that mean that the alternate is some how assigned an accepted student then if their assigned accepted student drops then they are accepted? How else can a wait list not be ranked?
All I've gotten is the acceptance email, an email about spring training, and a follow up email about spring training correcting a link on the original email!
Do you know when they will???I dont think theyve even made a waitlist yet
After March 1st hahahaDo you know when they will???
Agreed! Does anyone know someone that has actually been denied from Tech after interviewing this cycle?at least we havent been denied yet..?
I feel the same way. Wish I would have known that this trip was going to be a waste of time.Yea it's a little weird that nobody from out of state has been accepted after my interview all the way back in mid November...almost as if there were already no spots for oos when I interviewed. Would have been nice to know if that was the case. I really liked my experience here
I have an OOS acceptance from my Sept 11 interview date. Don't know if you guys were after that or not.I feel the same way. Wish I would have known that this trip was going to be a waste of time.
So like mid march sometime? LOL And has anyone received a rejection email/letter that you know of???After March 1st hahaha
I know I'm not helpful, but the silence from these guys is ridiculous.
Haha I was thinking the same thing. I haven't heard anything post interview (IS).So like mid march sometime? LOL And has anyone received a rejection email/letter that you know of???
1. As a medical school that is focused on primary care with some emphasis on rural health, we are interested in the areas our applicants are considering of practicing. Please indicate the area(s) of medicine you are interested in and briefly describe your significant activities for each respective interest. Please list them individually in a bulleted format in the text box provided below. If you are interested in something other than primary care, please indicate your interest in the OTHER category. Also, all applicants must answer Question #2.
Areas of interest:
Interested in the F-MAT (Family Medicine Accelerated Track)
Interested in practicing in an underserved area
Interested in rural health
Medical Research
Medical Academics
Primary Care
Border Health
Public Health
Other
2. List your activities (completed, current or planned) related to the selections made in question #1.
?
I don't think I did - I remember it being pretty redundant but I think in Q2 there was more room to write and describe things. In Q1 I didn't even write complete sentences because I had listed out each interest I had selected and then simply put a dash and what thing I had actually done that was relevant to that interest. Then in Q2 I further described those activities and it was more of a paragraph instead of a list. Hope that helps - I'm sure you can answer this question in any kind of format!How is question 1 different from question 2 on the secondary? Did y'all just put the same exact thing (including planned activities) for question 2?
How do we know we weren't just rejected and just not sent a courteous rejection email????has anyone received any kind of info about the waitlist yet?
I called a few minutes ago to withdraw from further consideration (I'm OOS), and tried to get information on WL for y'all on here, but they didn't have much to say on it. My guess is that they're still working on it? Also, remember that most movement will occur after May 1st.
Hang in there! I wish you all the best! I really liked this school, but I'm grateful for the opportunities I have.
