Accepted off the alternate list today, IS.

what were your stats if you dont mind me asking? I am currently on the waitlist at tech and I am desperate to get in.

 

[Avgstats22]

Has anyone on the waitlist also applied to the gsbs program?

I did. I applied March 1st as a last minute decision and got an interview a month later.

Did you get an email or a call?

 

[premedmarathoner]

Does anyone know if TTU takes letters of intent/interest for those on the waitlist?

 

[Polliwanker]

I’m dropping my IS acceptance here today. Good luck to everyone!

 

[Dhooy7]

Does anyone from last year have any tips for me that got in OOS from Texas? Really hoping to have a good PS if anyone is willing to look mine over. Wish everyone form 2017-18 the best of luck. Thanks!

 

[phthaloblue]

Any waitlist acceptances here recently? I've seen several people drop their spot here.

Was just accepted off the waitlist. 5 days to decide is kind of nerve-wracking, as I'm still waiting to hear back from other schools too.

I was the only one in my cohort that was OOS, and they were pretty straight up during one of the seminars that you're heavily disadvantaged due to funding restrictions... But hey, it somehow worked out for me. I'm certain the interview played a crucial role, I made a really good impression with the medical student I interviewed with (my faculty interview went well, but I wouldn't call it stellar).

Congrats! Did you get a phone call or email? Also what are your stats?

Thanks! It was by email. I'm not really comfortable saying my exact stats, but I will say that my GPA would probably be considered slightly below average and my MCAT score was very good.

It’s refreshing to see WL movement! It’s my understanding that last year there was very little.

they overfilled the class last year, this year they didn’t. should be a decent amt of movement from what I know

OOS acceptance this morning! I believe I got your slot, Grimwrapper! Thanks! For anyone interested: LM 70, Reapplicant and on TTUs WL last year. Excited this is all happening!

 

[brachialplexus]

Is it just me, or has there been almost no IS waitlist movement?

They’re gonna sort out OOS waitlist spots and then move on to IS waitlist spots. That’s what a little birdie told me.

No news here! I’m moving with my wife and kids to Utah next week for med school up there unless I hear back from Tech. I hope they accept some IS soon! I still will move back if I get accepted, but that’s such a hassle!!

No news on the western front

[Grrr@theMCAT]

I hope we will hear some good news soon!

 

[premedmarathoner]

So if we are OOS on the waitlist it's probably safe to say at this point that we aren't getting in since they seem to be moving on to IS waitlist? Just trying to plan for the coming months!

By phone call?

 

[gottabeMD17]

By phone call?

Yes and the person I spoke to said they're calling multiple people from the list right now. No email at all.

 

[Dr.Chameleon]

I broke my phone this week and am waiting for a new one, can I call them from another number to double check? Will they leave a voicemail?

 

[Bobsponge]

hi guys, I just realized the TMDSAS says "After 5:00 pm CT on June 1, no medical school in Texas may offer a position to an applicant already accepted by another medical school in Texas." Does that mean, TTU will no longer consider me after June 1st bc I was accepted at TCOM? Thanks.

 

[1eyedjack]

Precisely

 

[Bobsponge]

Precisely

Darn. Ok thanks.
