2017-2018 Long School of Medicine - University of Texas Health Science Center San Antonio

They already have 240ish members on Facebook for class 2022. How much room is there left for the rest of us, especially OOS? >.<

I can't speak for certain, but my friend is in the FB group and said that a pretty good chunk are current students/faculty. I think the fact that we've seen several people receive offers from the WL (including 1 that apparently is declining) should tell you that movement is definitely, and likely will continue, happening.

When it comes to OOS, I'm not really sure exactly how that'd work. I know that they have to maintain their 90/10 IS/OOS offer ratio, though. Still, in general, I know that Long sees movement right up to the bitter end (i.e., orientation). I feel like I met a ton of people at my interview (including one of my interviewers) who said that they received offers either at the end of May or just weeks before school started. We have plenty of reason to hold on to a healthy amount of hope!

Congrats!

For Wysdoc's roundup post, I'm almost for sure dropping McGovern for this one. So excited!

Congrats @Polliwanker - thanks for being always kind and reasonable to other posters and for being a Pokémon

Accepted earlier today! I will likely be sticking with McGovern, but will make a final decision tomorrow.

Update 5/11: Officially declined tonight, though reluctantly. McGovern vs Long was always the decision I was dreading to make, and ultimately family factors won out. I hope one of y'all can get this spot! This is an incredible school with incredible people.

IS Accepted yesterday! Absolutely thrilled as I didn't think I had a chance. Will be giving up a spot at another TX school.

Has anyone heard anything about applicant file reviews?

Also, has anyone been accepted off the waitlist that has not had an acceptance at any other IS school?

 

[FutureDoc007!]

Does anyone know if there has been any OOS waitlist movement?

 

[LunaDust5036]

I was accepted off of the waitlist today! I already matched somewhere so now I'm debating between the two.

All I’m seeing is 2017. I was hoping to see 2018 too. UME - School of Medicine, The University of Texas Health Science Center

Orientation began this week for students at Long SOM. All waitlist action for 2017-2018 is therefore over.
