So I am currently a senior at UT and we have to write theses for a program I am in. I just found out that they "publish" them in the UT library in the Texas ScholarWorks area in May when they are due. Does this count as an actual publication that I could email McGovern an update about? I also got into Phi Beta Kappa at my school and I was wondering if this was important enough to include in an update email... idk if it would help me on the waitlist, or if it is not worth an email? Getting nervous as we get closer to the May 15th date 🙁

back when I spoke to admissions in March, they said that if I have any updates to go ahead and send them in. But then she followed that with saying "however, keep in mind that it won't change your position on the waitlist". CONGRATS ON GETTING PHI BETA KAPPA!

you are an angel :angelic: thank you for the info!!
 
does UT houston inform applicants if they are waitlisted? I interviewed there at Dec but never heard back since then; tried to write /call /update, but the adcom was never responsive to my messages; I feel that my acceptance chance is probably very slim if they are not responding at all.
I know there're interviewees who were rejected already, but what does silence mean?.........

Where have you heard that there are interviewees who were rejected already? I was under the impression that UT Houston waitlisted all their interviewees except if you are OOS? Are you OOS?

From post history seems that you are MSTP -- they have a different process, I would trust @Fencer 's advice on anything MD PhD related. I've lurked the Physician Scientist forum some and it seems like there are a lot of acceptances yet to go out! Don't lose hope 🙂

Sorry for the confusion; some of the MSTP interviewees already received rejection, and I'm OOS.

Absolutely! There is bound to be more movement soon, so don't lose hope. These are just two individuals I knew at my school personally.

Both were traditional IS applicants with good stats (515+ MCAT and 3.8+ GPA).

Kind of crazy that those people were waitlisted...... I’m a trad with lower stats so doubt they’ll call me up lol

There hasn't been anyone added to the facebook group as of last Friday the 3rd. Thought you might want to know

You guys are talking like only newly accepted people add themselves to the FB group and all accepted people add themselves to the group, neither of which is true. Example - I added myself last year before acceptance. It's probably just as often hopefuls as it is actually accepted people.

Good point, there are currently like 400 members in the Facebook group
 
their fb class size just went up a couple more people today. has anyone heard of any offers going out today?
 
Does anyone know if anyone has anyone gotten off the waitlist after the May 15th deadline, or if there will be any movement soon?

I would guess there’s been some offers to non sdners with the lack of movement reported on these boards

Does anyone know when the school stops sending scholarship information?
 
Has anyone heard any updates or any movement? Has anyone called to ask about waitlist movement?
 
I communicated with them and they confirmed that there was post may 15th movement. I think this year there hasn't been much people who were accepted who also go on sdn perhaps? Because I have checked up with mcgovern throughout these months and there has definitely been movement even though it hasn't been posted specifically in this thread.

still keeping the hope alive but have already retaken my mcat about a month ago and am soon to submit all my material for the next round.

I agree @Ms.WorryWart, the active SDN participants are fewer this year.
 
So I am applying for EY2020, and i submitted my primary 5/29(transmitted 5/31) but still have not received a secondary link. People who have submitted after me have. Has this happened to anyone else? Should I contact them to see if there is an issue?
