Another question, For those who got accepted from the waitlist, did you receive an e-mail or phone call?

LM: 65 500 MCAT
IS non-traditionalCongratulations!! IS or OOS
I got 3 too, hope you get off one of them!Me too, this is my third wait list of the cycle... wish I knew what I was doing wrong...
They do!Is there anywhere on SHSU's website that says they don't or do accept letters of interest? Can't seem to find it.
Thank you so much! I hope you get that A as wellI got 3 too, hope you get off one of them!
I called them and they said they accept them but you have to email it to their admissions office ([email protected])Is there anywhere on SHSU's website that says they don't or do accept letters of interest? Can't seem to find it.
It was an email that status had been updated in portalFor anyone who got off the waitlist, did they call or email you?
Congratulations!! Can I ask your stats?Accepted off the waitlist today!!!
Congrats!! Did you send in a letter of intent?Accepted off the waitlist today!!!
And thank you, good luck!Congrats!! Did you send in a letter of intent?
Okay great thank you!And thank you, good luck!
Not since my WL letterAnyone hear anything back recently?
I'm wondering the same since I also haven't heard back from themDoes anyone even know if their class is already filled because I haven't heard anything from SHSU since match day?
I’m not sure if it’s different for TX schools, but it might be early for WL movement? Someone in another thread said a school hasn’t moved anyone off WL yet but we’re expecting to see things change in the next few weeks as deposits become due. Hopefully SHSU will be the same? Fingers crossed...I’m also on WL here and love the programI'm wondering the same since I also haven't heard back from them
@Doc9201 I explained about WL actions in Texas schools over here: *~*~*~*Official TMDSAS Questions Thread 2020-2021*~*~*~*I read a comment of Facebook that SHSU sends offers to students without TMDSAS acceptances around May, just wanted to see if someone can confirm this. Does SHSU even have info about where students have been accepted?
Does an acceptance to UIWSOM (part of AACOMAS not TMDSAS) count as a TX acceptance in regards to the May 15th deadline?@Doc9201 I explained about WL actions in Texas schools over here: *~*~*~*Official TMDSAS Questions Thread 2020-2021*~*~*~*
All waitlisted applicants to Texas schools can come in from a WL until May 15, after that only people with no other TX acceptances are eligible.
I don't believe it does, as UIWSOM is not part of the TMDSAS agreement among medical schools to abide by the May 15th rule. Baylor, though AMCAS this year, does abide by the May 15th date rule.Does an acceptance to UIWSOM (part of AACOMAS not TMDSAS) count as a TX acceptance in regards to the May 15th deadline?
Here's last year's page if you want to browse starting where I marked. There were some WL offers made in May. 2019-2020 Sam Houston State College of Osteopathic Medicine (SHSC-COM)Does anyone know from last year if there was a lot of WL movement in May?
Thank you so much! So it looks like most WL movement happens on/after May 15Here's last year's page if you want to browse starting where I marked. There were some WL offers made in May. 2019-2020 Sam Houston State College of Osteopathic Medicine (SHSC-COM)
AmenI never received either from UTRGV and Dell. Dell I expected, but UTRGV made me do a stupid video and pay that secondary fee. The least these schools could do is have some decency to send a courtesy rejection email. Wouldn’t be surprised others are doing the same.
Congrats!!!! Did you get an email or a call?I just got an acceptance, but I'm deciding between KCUMB (100 year old, established) vs SHSU ( I live in Houston, close to med center). I am shooting for the stars for a competitive residency, and would be really grateful for any help!
Thank you for your input! The acceptance was sent through email.Also I don’t know anything about your other school but for SHSU I think the fact that their accreditation is pending a graduating class has some effect on loans. That’s something I’d look into! Congrats again! So happy for you!
This is probably the wrong thread for this, you might want to post this in the Help me decide forums insteadI need help deciding on which school! Feel free throw any information out there- I looked at last years thread and a few other students were in the same exact pickle.
KCUMB:
Pros:
-One of the original 5 DO schools, EVEN THOUGH I have heard that all DO students are looked at the same way as far as residencies are concerned.
-Good Match list since I want to go into something competitive
Cons:
-Dangerous city? Far from home.
SHSU
Pros:
-I am from Houston
-Possibly good networking opportunities since the Med Center isn’t too far? I am not sure If I would be able to, so if any student can educate me on how a DO student should be networking, I would greatly appreciate it.
-Does being a TMDSAS school help in anyway when it comes to networking in Texas?
Cons:
-New school.
-No hospital affiliations within Houston
-Mostly rural/ primary care focused (which isn’t really a Con, but when a school has a certain focus they lean away from others)
I did a while back and if I could get input from an SHSU student as well, that would be golden.This is probably the wrong thread for this, you might want to post this in the Help me decide forums instead
The choice is yours between the 2 schools.Hey y'all, just got off the waitlist at SHSU! I was previously accepted at another school, but now that I'm off the waitlist at SHSU does that mean they take away my previous acceptance?
Congrats on the two acceptances. I ended up on a waitlist for KCU and was accepted to SHSU. If I would've gotten the acceptance from KCU, I would've gone there. I think you'll be fine at either school. I'm shooting for a competitive specialty too and am about to finish OMS-1 at Sam. It's all about the work you're willing to put in that will determine your competitiveness no matter where you choose to go. However, the established program of KCU may make that task easier.I did a while back and if I could get input from an SHSU student as well, that would be golden.
Here's a post I made today about what to do with an acceptance - then - a WL offer The Republic of Texas XXXIX: Pretty words are not always true, and True words are not always pretty.Hey y'all, just got off the waitlist at SHSU! I was previously accepted at another school, but now that I'm off the waitlist at SHSU does that mean they take away my previous acceptance?
I'm not sure if this is necessarily how it works. SHSU-COM students have been able to take out loans to cover the full cost of attending.Also I don’t know anything about your other school but for SHSU I think the fact that their accreditation is pending a graduating class has some effect on loans. That’s something I’d look into! Congrats again! So happy for you!
Okay thank you so much! I will look into this more so!I'm not sure if this is necessarily how it works. SHSU-COM students have been able to take out loans to cover the full cost of attending.
Off the WL today!
I feel you. I interviewed in Oct and these months have been the toughest months of my life mentally with all of this waiting. And it was my only interview during the cycle 😢At this point, I have been feeling really discouraged. I interviewed the first day SHSUCOM offered interviews in September and didn't hear back until March when I was waitlisted. I have been seeing many people who have been accepted off of the waitlist and interviewed much later than me. Does this mean that I most likely will not get an acceptance from this school?
