Any IS who has already interviewed still not see El-Paso on their TMDSAS rank list? I know it's still early.

I saw on another thread that if the school you interviewed at does not show up, that means there is no possibility of pre-match offer? @wysdoc?

You should be able to rank any school at which you have interviewed. Is it listed as Paul Foster SOM? A few schools are slow to update the files of those they just interviewed.
As to your other question about prematches, I don't think there is any way to get a hint about prematch offers as you suggest.

My other schools I already interviewed at show up on the rank page, but not El-Paso. I was at the first interview held the 1st week of August.

I have kept in contact with another applicant who I met on my interview and they say the same thing, so I am unsure whether I should email Admissions.

Since it has been over a month I think you should email admissions to ask, they may not know of a glitch if there is one.
 
Interviewed in August. Also, doesn't appear. Still have a couple schools that aren't there. Don't worry about it until November around prematch

Did everyone else who interviewed here receive a physical letter follow-up in the mail?

Not really - just generic things thanking me for interviewing there, and selling the school some more. This school really impressed me with the efforts it's gone to make applicants feel welcome.

Wow! You got fan mail! Definitely a good sign. It would be interesting to see if everyone gets it or just early apps. Or maybe just ppl they really like and will prematch.
 
Everyone who was waiting to be able to see this school on your ranking list, try logging in to TMDSAS again. They have checked for a glitch. If it has been a few weeks since your interview and you still don't see it today, shoot them a friendly email.

Any tips for the IV at this school from people who have already IV'd here or current students?

Relax, be yourself during the interviews, and enjoy the experience. Everyone from the admissions, faculty, students are very welcoming.
 
Just got an email telling me to submit secondary.. it was complete 6/14. Did anyone else get this?

I just did too. I verified with the portal that I've been complete for awhile already. I hope something isn't wrong with my application.

I just got this alert as well. Double checked my application and it shows that everything has been complete for over a month. This is really weird! I just sent admissions a very polite email about it.

Yeah. I nearly jumped out of my chair when I saw foster sent me an email and when I opened it I quickly sat back down realizing it was in fact NOT an II lol. Maybe this is why we haven't gotten an II yet? Maybe there is some error that did not mark us complete for some reason so we haven't been reviewed yet.
 
I called but nobody was there. I wonder if they never received the application.
 
"If you have not submitted a secondary application and intend to do so please ..."

I'm just going to assume they sent it to everyone

I did see that, after I emailed.
However, title is "Secondary application reminder".
And IMO if we have submitted we shouldn't have recieved that email, makes me doubt my app!!!
 
Was about to email them too. Good thing I checked here lol, clutch. Let us know how they respond!!
 
They probably won't individually respond to our email but they might send out a mass email letting us know they sent it to everyone, regardless if you have submitted or not.

Lol same as you all, I figure I should've checked SDN before sending an email to admissions but oh well

Did anyone receive a response from PLFSOM about the reminder email to submit secondaries?

I have not received a response

EDIT: just received this email

Good morning,


We have received your secondary application. There was a glitch in our system and it send out the email to all applicants. I apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused.



Thank you,



Laura A. Olivas, MBA

Great school, but hmmmmm, so many glitches at El Paso. Their IT department gotta get it together.
 
Can anyone that’s already interviewed here tell me what time they were done? I have an interview the next day in Houston and would really like to book the 4pm flight out of El Paso so I don’t get to Houston super late. The email says interviews are usually done around 3:00 and the airport is only 12 minutes from the school. What do y’all think?
