Anyone who interviewed this month not have TTUHSC on their TMDSAS list to rank yet? I'm guessing I shouldn't worry until January?

Also, I interviewed for FMAT. I have read prior threads but still not clear... will I not hear back re: acceptance to FMAT until after match/ only if I match? Or is it treated like other combined programs and is rolling?

Edit: TTUHSC is now on my list!

I pre-matched and was accepted to the FMAT program and it was in the same letter.
 
I haven’t received an interview invite from ttuhsc, but I just received an email with a link to create an eraider account. At this point, I had assumed they were done sending out interviews, so I’m confused why I got the this email. Has anyone else received these instructions?

I also received that email, along with another one about meningitis vaccination laws? Strange.

Me too. I don't know if they will follow up with the interview invite later or if this was an accident, but I'm filling it out. Hopefully they send us interview invites!

I got this email in the morning and I already interviewed. Hoping it means something good for a potential pre-match!

Hello everyone! I have 3 questions:

1. Historically, does TTUHSC send another wave of prematches in December after the first big one?

2. If I interviewed during the first few weeks in August but didn’t get prematched, do I still have the same chance of getting matched?

3. Is there anyone else who also interviewed (but did NOT prematch) get the eraider email? I didn’t get the email but I want to know if there was a reason for the emails or it’s just random.

Thanks to anyone who can answer at least one of these questions!
 
1, If you look at last years sdn it does not appear that ttuhsc sent out another round of prematches, but a lot of schools seem to be taking a different approach this year than in previous years so that certainly is not a guarantee that they will not.



3. I did get the email and prematch, but I am reasonably sure that the email is more or less a bug. The language of the email itself said that I was given an eraider account because I had applied to one of the programs associated with ttuhsc or ttuhsc El Paso. I honestly would not put much stalk into it at all.

Hey!

1. Historically, TTU has not prematched after pre-match day which used to be Nov 15. Since pre-match day changed this year, they did send out an acceptance to me and one other person on SDN on Oct 24th (we both interviewed on Oct 11th). Obviously since this year is different no one knows for sure if they will be pre-matching again but hopefully you get some good holiday news! Last day to pre-match is Dec 31st.

2. Historically (at least based on the past few years of SDN threads), they tended to pre-match Aug-early October interviewees on pre-match day and then match early October-December interviewees. Of course, since matching depends on rank lists, you have a possibility of still matching so don't give up hope!

3. FWIW, I pre-matched and I did not get an e-Raider email but it seems like this happened last year as well and it was just a fluke on the IT department's end.

UPDATE 12/6/19: Received the email to set up my e-Raider account!

I hope this helps and best of luck!!

I'm in love with this school.. I just had my interview and I loved every second of it. I didn't really think I would have a dream school or become attached but I've fallen so hard. I'm so worried now that I'm putting too much into how relaxed it was and mistaking it for a connection. I really hope I get in here, I can't believe how much I love the area and the school.
 
So the prematch is given out a period between Oct 15th to Dec 31st. Does Texas Tech give out prematch offers in December? Could people who interviewed in December receive prematch offers?

I interviewed in El Paso, received the email, but did not pre-match. I did call the Monday after I received the email and they said it didn't mean anything...but I've been asking the same in the El Paso thread, because I was able to set up the account and have access to several portals including the "student.ttuhsc.edu". Have you been able to set up the account and have access to these portals as well? I'm hoping it's a good sign.

Yeah, I feel that it doesn't mean anything. I had friends get it without prematch. Then I got it without prematch. If they said on the phone that it doesn't mean anything, then it doesn't. Let's not get false hopes from this but keep our standard hopes from before we got this. Anyways, it's nice to have some portal access and your name tied in.

Yeah I guess we'll just have to wait until the 1st! thanks for the reply, nice to know I'm not the only one. Now I can keep a normal amount of hope. Best of luck!
 
I actually got that eRaider email before my interview, so I don't think it's related. Good luck to us getting matched tho!
 
Hello everyone,

I think I’m being a little neurotic here, but I just want to confirm just in case. Does anyone else still have this message “Please remember that: You are required to take the CASPer test, on or before 11/19/2019, in order to maintain acceptance eligibility” still on their TTUHSC portal?

I took CASPer a while back and am just worried if I still have this message because my score never got sent to them, or everyone still has this message. The CASPer website states the results were delivered.

Thanks everyone!

IIRC, the message shows up on my portal too but I found out back in September that TTUHSC never got my CASPer and had to contact CASPer to get it resent. I would call TTU and/or email them in order to get a written confirmation that they have your results.

Oh wow. See, that’s exactly why I was worried because I never received any confirmation about them receiving my CASPer exam.

Did they email you or how did you find out that your score never got sent?

Thank you so much for that information!

They never reached out to me -- I was just paranoid so I called TTU and emailed them and they told me they had not received it despite CASPer having confirmed they sent it in June.

Honestly, though, I think it was just a fluke with my score, so try not to worry about it till you get confirmation from TTU!
 
Does TTUHSC normally send an email to confirm that CASPer was received, or does it appear somewhere in the secondary application portal?
 
I just called the Office of Admissions (806-743-2297) and they confirmed that they have already received my score! All I had to give them was my full name and TMDSAS ID.

The reason I wasn't sure if the CASPer results were in was because I never got an email and it never appeared on my secondary application portal's status section. A simple call was good enough to confirm, though!
 
Can anyone tell me how OOS works at Texas schools with the match? Like do they send out notifications on Feb 1 with everyone else?
 
should I send an update letter to tell them I'm taking a prereq course I didn't mention before? where should I send it?
 
What if I didn't take 6 credit hours of English at my university, and instead claimed 6 hours of AP credit? Do both AP Lang and AP Lit count as English prereqs?

Edit: It seems like at UT Austin, AP Lang (RHE 306) and AP Literature (E 316P) both count as premed English classes... I hope that claiming credit for both counts!

Be very specific and check the pre-requisite rules for each school where you interviewed! This would be an awful reason to not be able to attend, and you could still have time to take the English classes if they won't accept AP credits.

You should be able to see on TMDSAS if they put those classes in your sheet of prereqs fulfilled. Homepage of TMDSAS under “2020 PCR” link.

I checked my PCR and it has all the pre reqs listed but it shows in the top left corner that the PCR has not been validated. Is this an issue?
My undergrad GPA doesn't need to be updated with Fall 2019/Spring 2020 grades since I graduated May 2019.

This type of question is best asked directly to TMDSAS via the internal messaging feature. You will sign in and message them your inquiry. Response time is quick and you’ll get your answer from the source.
 
If anyone is ranking TTUHSC high on their TMDSAS list, can you share why? And what about the program you loved most? TIA!

Do you guys know when the classes end during the day for preclinical years? I’m not sure if they mentioned this on the interview day?

I haven’t been able To find this in my notes either. But I believe they said it depends on the subject block, with some being morning and others afternoon blocks? Were You able to find a typical weekly schedule?

Thanks for the info!

So I’m guessing classes aren’t all day long?

First year you are typically done by noon unless there's a mandatory meeting or activity
Second year, classes start around one and run until five
Class is not mandatory though

Yes! Asked a current student and they said this and that time is really your own for both years unless there is a mandatory event or exam that is specified in advance.
