Check out page 8 of this thread.For those that interviewed, are you allowed to disclose how long each MMI station was?
I submitted my Secondary early September then received an II early October. Accepted early November!Has anybody submitted after early/mid September receive an II? It seems like it's been a long time since IIs have been announced and none of them from people who were complete after mid-September.
I was complete 9/13. I interviewed in November and was accepted shortly after.The latest complete date I've seen with an II is 9/4. I was complete 9/5 and haven't had any communication from the school since then unfortunately.

Congrats on the II! I stayed at a hotel downtown near In-N-Out burger (sorry I forgot the name of the hotel). As far as I know, there is no student housing available for interviewees (I didn't get this option). As far as transportation to and from the airport, I used Uber.II today! OOS. Complete 9/23. Question for those who have interviewed - where did you stay? Is there student housing? Transportation from the airport?

That is not the school's responsibility. Accommodation and transportation are part of traveling whether you're going to an interview or going on vacation.@OrexinRules, Why the dislike? Do you not want better accommodation/transportation for new students next year?

You think a shuttle or hotel discount is going to make someone choose TCU over another medical school? It's a drop in the bucket compared to the $60k tuition it would cost to go here.Oh definitely not. To quote my already deleted comment: "I've also been interviewed by just as new schools where I was provided with the school's discounted hotel price (I'm guessing the school has a deal with the hotel) across where the interview was held. Then there was a shuttle provided by the school that goes to the airport after the interviews that took all interviewees straight to the airport. I was really impressed."
I think doing something similar for incoming students can help reach out to those students who are on a budget or not privileged enough to be supported by parents. Furthermore, it does leave a good impression on students, especially if they're considering the school.

I don't agree with you. If two schools were close to equal, an applicant should identify what are the top 2-3 most important things to them and their career goals and make a decision based off that. You're talking about expenses that are incurred before an interviewee has even made it to the campus.How students/applicants are being treated is going to make someone choose a school when all things are equal. If two schools have same education and cost, but one has treated you better. You'll likely go to that school. It's more "compassionate."

Were you accepted to TCU? I saw you were given an II a long time ago.
Homies... chillax. I’ll host every student and their mom. And pick them up and drive everyone to the interview in a school bus if tcu will take me off hold...plsHow students/applicants are being treated is going to make someone choose a school when all things are equal.

Of course, this only applies to those who really feel the burden. If your mom and pop can provide all the transportation and accommodation you need, you won't feel this difference.

Lol I was trying to make a point. I want an interview from here so bad. I love it here in DFW and really don't want to have to move across the country to a different medical school lower on my list.
I've had 4 out of state interviews and none provided accommodation... you're making assumptions bud.No wonder you don't support improved accommodation for traveling students. You're local! LOL.
Hey, congratulations on the interview!!! To answer your questions, I stayed at a hotel about 10 minutes away from campus so I wouldn't stress about traffic the morning of the interview. No student housing was offered which is understandable.II today! OOS. Complete 9/23. Question for those who have interviewed - where did you stay? Is there student housing?

Thanks y’all15 Acceptances?! Plenty to choose from!
Thanks for all the info! If I was planning on leaving the same night, what’s the earliest I should get a flight? Is 6pm pushing it?Hey, congratulations on the interview!!!

I used uber/lyft everywhere, which might be beneficial on interview day because you may find other applicants heading to the same airport and split the fare. Use your own discretion with who to trust lolol. I almost used a rental car, but I actually saved more money by ubering/lyfting.
I also recommend flying in a little earlier the day before the explore the campuses because there isn't a tour offered on the interview day.
Feel free to PM me with any questions!
Mine left around 7:30 PM from DFW, and I had plenty of time to sit down and eat dinner at the airport. I don't think I would have been comfortable with a flight before 6:30 PM, though. Keep in mind DAL is even further if you end up flying out of there.Thanks for all the info! If I was planning on leaving the same night, what’s the earliest I should get a flight? Is 6pm pushing it?

ZeroTo those who've been accepted, how many days did you wait before completing the optional survey?
I would hope that the survey was anonymous and has no bearing on acceptances.To those who've been accepted, how many days did you wait before completing the optional survey?

7 days... wait. And I have 7 holds. Maybe the number of days you wait=number of holds you receive...How many days did you wait?

jk I have no idea how many days it was. I did fill it out though.
I didn't fly out same day, but I would be very comfortable with a 6PM DFW flight right after interview day.
I think the entire MD AVD ended around 3PM for my group. So if your group ends at 3PM, then taxi/Uber ride can take about 30-45 minutes to DFW (which means you'd get there 4:30PM at the latest) and that's wayy more time to get through TSA and reach your 6PM flight.
Also FYI, if you have TSA Pre-check, I remember for my flight the DFW airport closes that line at 7:30PM or so (you might want to check).
This is my 2 cents.
Class size 60 with no plans to expand.How many medical students matriculated this past fall at TCU?
If you read earlier in the thread, I believe people have posted about pre-II R’s.Are interview invites still ongoing? Have pre-II rejections been sent yet?
They have been sending out emails every 2 weeks, on Fridays.To those that received pre-II rejection, when did you get the email? Haven’t heard anything from here yet.

Same answer. Today could be the day you hear something, II or R. Or in 2 weeks if they're still looking over your app.I am referring to pre-interview, not post-interview.
Not quite true.... the only decisions that are released on Fridays are for POST interview people. The next decision release date for those who have already interviewed is January 24. I don’t think II and Pre-II R’s come out on Fridays. I got my II on a Monday.Same answer. Today could be the day you hear something, II or R. Or in 2 weeks if they're still looking over your app.
