Do you think anyone OOS will be accepted tomorrow? I interviewed on their first interview day back on August 5th and have yet to hear anything. Silent rejection or is there still a chance? I know they do not accept many OOS, but I really liked this school.

If you interviewed on the first day, then if you were accepted you would have heard on Oct 17. Otherwise you're either on the waitlist or will be rejected.
 
Does anyone have an idea if they start sending offers at midnight or during the day?
 
Will be interviewing here on Friday, very excited! Any tips from those who have interviewed? I understand its 2 1-on-1 interviews

Does anyone, and I mean ANYONE know what time they sent them out last year? I skimmed through last years thread but it only had dates, not times.

Earliest was around 10am. Hover over the dates and you'll see times. It's also the time they posted, not necessarily when they got the email. But someone did say they got theirs around 10am
 
I believe it has been mentioned before that TTUHSC sends majority if not all of their pre-matches on November 15. Has anyone received a pre-match from this school in late November or even December?
 
Interview here this Friday but prematched to another school. I will still be attending the interview though because who knows...I could fall in love with this school 🙂

accepted! LizzyM: 69 interview: early october

anyone know when and if they let you know about the MBA program as well?

I am accepted to MD/MBA. I was accepted both at the same time, however I'm not sure that means that's the only way. My portal said specifically "you have been accepted to the MD/MBA program with Tech and Rawls college of business."

I'm sure it's okay. Just say "I recognize I did not receive an MBA program admission. Does this mean I can't in the future?"

OOS and first acceptance! Also got the OOS scholarship. I read on previous threads that this qualified for IS tuition. Is that true? Independent I'm happy to go here.

yup! they make your tuition the same as IS tuition! its some kind of legal loophole
 
For those of you accepted:
First off congratulations! Did you all submit individual letters or Committee packets?

My school offered Committee, so I did that. Also submitted an additional individual letter from my current supervisor in a lab.

Ok thanks for the info. I know a packet is preferred but my committee submitted 9/28 so I'm considering the individual route next cycle. We shall see!

Committe packet which has my 5 LORS attached

My university's advisor committee review board is run by clowns and they refused to give me an explanation for the score I received and when I asked, they refused to give me a reason for the score and said it wasn't possible. Wth. So I'm pretty salty about committee letters. I later found out that they give the highest recommendation for those in JAMP. So maybe don't use it unless you're in JAMP.

Golden information, thank you. Who were your letters from? I'll have to get new ones either way so I'm on the fence about what to do next time.

So I had 3 science letters from professors who knew me well. I had one from my PI (also science) and one from my humanities professor. I knew them all really well and all were very strong.

Looking back, I wouldn't use the service. It was a waste of my time and probably hurt me at places since my score was just one below the highest because well, "I wasn't in JAMP"

I don't think I could reapply again lol if I go 0/7 IIs then that's a sign from God that maybe this isn't my field 🙄

I'd go it again at least another time. You've put in a lot of time, effort, and money. You can speak w admissions after the cycle and get recommendations on how to improve. Good luck!

I mean...if it was a stats issue, I don't think I would have gotten 7 IIS. And I really hope it's not an interview issue, consider I'm on the board for a pre-med society at my school and I've been arranging mock interviews for years haha. I don't know what the admissions people could say. I had all of my essays checked by some of the top writers at my university. Idk...I spent so much time and money and it's super depressing to have to basically replay the whole year again.
 
OOS interviewed on Oct/21. Havent heard anything today. Does this mean I am most likely on the waitlist or rejected?

I can sense frustration. you have put in the hardworking and done your part. Don't forget prematch doesn't end till December and there is still match. 7 interviews and no acceptances would be ridiculous. I was scared too and did some research, apparently, the consensus is 1 acceptance for every 3 interviews but you never know.
 
Just withdrew from my interview invite here due to early acceptances. My interview day was scheduled for the first week of December. Hope someone gets an offer to interview today!

Haha thanks! Most OOS schools that I had IIs at haven't given out many acceptances, and of course, pre-match is just beginning.

Most likely ):. I interviewed later than you and got in. GL I think Tech has decent WL movement so there's still hope!
 
Does anyone know if there is a FB group for people who have been accepted? Thanks in advance!
