Does anyone know if there's more to confirming the offer than just clicking accept in the portal? Or is that it?

 

[Doc.Do]

Anyone who interviewed on November 4th pre-match today? They were saying it'll be close for us to get reviewed by today.

I think that's it!

 

[Lingering]

[Medschool 1991]

lol jk, probably there'll be another prematch date in like December, and then if we don't get anything, it's match or WL or rejection.

so we have to wait until december now?????????

Probs. Don't quote me on this. I've noticed bimodal distributions in terms of acceptances. Usually 2 peaks where there are flurries of e-mails a la UTMB in the 2015-2016 thread. Some guy above said he called them and they said they're done for the day handing out acceptances.

 

[Pre-MD/MPH]

Very curious how many total prematches were given out today

I emailed admissions yesterday and they said about half the class receives prematch offers. So about 110?

 

[wysdoc]

Prematch offers can be made between now and December 31 on a rolling basis. Whether they are sent out in batches (like today) or little by little depends on the school. Today I have seen prematches sent out from UTSW, UTSA, UTMB, Texas Tech, and TCOM. We'll see what pattern the other Texas schools follow. Pretty sure Dell likes to call rather than send emails.

today 110 were accepted?

 

[Pre-MD/MPH]

Not sure if that is 110 prematch offers in general (Today-December) or just for today. I think it would be 110 from now until December though.

 

[Medschool 1991]

how many went out today?

 

[wysdoc]

how many went out today?

I don't think you're going to get an exact numerical answer to that question😎

Texas Schools to not do rejections, we all go on a waitlist

Just received a message from TMDAS reminding me to update my transcript after Fall 2016. I'd rather not send in an updated transcript. lol is this a requirement, and if so, do schools i've already interviewed at (like this one) take it into account when making a final decision?

I don't think you have to send one in until grades are finalized, but yes, they will take your grades into account if you haven't been sent an acceptance yet

 

[Hermoine Stark]

I'm guessing they're done offering II? 🙁

 

[720606]

Quick question for students/accepted students: will we hear anything about merit scholarships before the match?

From what I've heard, scholarships come with your admission offer

Like with the paper letter?

The email, but this is what I heard from one school. you should call them to verify.

Shouldn't you get that after FAFSA? They send out financial aid packets in march/April. Could it be then?

No, they are talking about incentive scholarships, to get you to rank them #1 for the match

Which school? P.M. me please.

 

[CognitiveSci]

+1. Only 1 TX school has shown me love thus far. I feel like most of them are done with II at this point. Especially now that the holidays are coming up, I think things will really slow down 🙁

 

[aznelementmaster]

Does anyone know if they'll be extending anymore interview invites?

I got a II last Friday, and when I chose an interview date, there were still 3 dates available on December: December 9, 16, and 19.

[bceagles1216]

Does anyone recall if they provided STEP 1 averages during the interview day? I didn't have anything written down and can't seem to find any info in past threads/elsewhere online.

So if I'm OOS, I'm pretty much ruled out for the possibility of getting an interview, right? 🙁

I really wanted one here, and I found it weird that I got one from UTH and UTMB and not UTSA.

Hoping this place drops a 2nd round of prematches soon

Has any school sent a second round of prematches? I'm trying not to get my hopes up.

Yes, but only one school that I can see.
