After much deliberation, I'm going to cancel my II. Hopefully you get it!

And for those that have yet to get an A, this is my 3rd cycle applying. If your dream is to become a physician - don't give up.

Congrats on Texas Tech! Is that where you're headed?
 
Haven’t checked in on this thread in a while so I’ve enjoyed catching up.

To all those that received the R: I’m sorry y’all won’t be in this class but I’m sending good vibes y’all’s way. TCU is the only school that has offered me an interview, so I am proof it only takes one....

To all those waiting to hear something:
“Patience and perseverance have a magical effect before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish.”- John Quincy Adams

To those with that glorious A: HELL YEAH! happy to have y’all along for this terrifying and inspiring ride. Join the Facebook group so we can connect!

+2! Dude, you've got three Texas MD schools who have not yet given you a final answer. I FORBID you from giving up hope yet! And if it comes to 3 rejections, you are still going to be a doctor because of your DO acceptances. Chin up, and know there are LOTS of people cheering you on, including some you haven't even met!

Tbh just know yourself and about how you feel about community ethics and the mission of the school. Also do some self care and make sure you're in a good mood and not too stressed for your interview. It was so much chiller than I was expecting

I'd also highly recommend going to the pre-interview social with current students. Everyone I met was kind, helpful, and very willing to answer questions.
 
Do we think they'll be sending out decisions today? Texas is in a really rough spot but I don't know how Fort Worth has been this week specifically. I know that even the hospitals in Austin and Houston have had water and power issues.

I was thinking the same thing, it seems only logical that admissions would be on the back-burner for now. If there are any current students on here, or admissions folks, are you all ok? Seems like a pretty big crisis and I hope everyone is safe

Thank you for thinking of our SOM community! It has been a difficult week for our city, but we have made it through the worst of it. Many of us are fortunate to have our power restored and pipes thawing at this time. Committee will meet today. We hope everyone is safe and warm!

Is the pre-interview social informal? How does it work - are there breakout rooms or is it like a panel of current students? Thanks for the advice!!
 
Does TCU give feedback on apps?

Just... love this school, looking at a reapp, really wanna know what I can do to be better, especially to be better in their eyes. I'm not planning to reapply until the '22-'23 cycle.

Totally informal. No one dressed up. In ours, we all started in one big zoom room. Each current student had a breakout room, and the students acting as moderators put a few applicants with each current student, then rotated us. I feel like that took a lot of stress off -- asking questions to one person with 1/2 other applicants there, as opposed to addressing everyone. I was able to meet and chat with 4 or 5 current students, and even after the allotted time was up, they all stayed to answer lingering questions. It was low-key and informative, and I left with a great impression of the school.
 
How do financial aid offers work at this school? I filled out my fafsa back on the first day
 
@ accepted students, have you received anything other than the admission offer? I accepted on the portal but haven't received any further info so I just wanted to make sure we were all on the same boat

I received a save the date for the virtual second look weekend in April, but nothing else that we have to ‘do’ other than accept the offer in the portal!

I was accepted at the beginning of January and haven’t received anything about second look yet! When did you get this?
 
Hi I had a question about the logistics of the interview, I know there's not much that can be said about the interview, so ignore this if it is one of the questions that cannot be answered, are students allowed to take notes during the two minute preparation of reading the prompt before the corresponding station? Thanks guys
