2020-2021 Texas A&M

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Just wondering, but is there a FB page for acceptees?

Members don't see this ad.
 
Checked TMDSAS and Texas A&M is now showing up on prematch/rank page. Haven't checked in a couple weeks now so it could have been up earlier. Prematched on October 15th

Two questions...
For OOS students, we never see a prematch/rank page on TMDSAS, correct?
Also, could any current students say whether or not A&M does "secret" class rankings? Like on the LORs for residency?

Thank you!

Fellow OOS here! We don’t have prematch/match/ranking since we aren’t part of the match process. Best of luck!!

Does anyone have any idea what the "standardized patient exercises" are like? I received an II for EnMed yesterday and saw that these were required to be completed before the interview.

You basically are given a prompt/scenario and then enact that scenario for 5 minutes with the standardized actor. They are pretty laid back and are over before you know it; don't stress too much about it.

Just pretend like you’re in a customer service job and you’ll be fine

Most schools are scheduling for their final interviews I’m pretty sure. Although UTMB and McGovern are done sending invitations.
 
I interviewed here last month, but didn't receive a prematch. A paper that I've co-authored just got accepted to the NEJM. Is it worth sending an update about the acceptance at this point? I already have a few publications listed on my app, but they're all in low-impact journals.

It is worth an update letter. It's hard to imagine any school will finalize and submit their match list before the deadline (and certainly not before all interviews have been conducted) so it could still make an impact.

Agreed. Also, congrats on getting published in NEJM! That's quite the feat, especially before you're even a med student!
 
Did anyone who got accepted to Texas A&M receive any new notifications other than for the MD plus program? I'm still waiting to receive a background check and assign campus rankings or is that later on?

You need to finish match before those pieces kick in. At this time no one knows you plan to attend A&M.

Does waiting past the match date also apply if I’m an OOS student?
Fellow OOS. Got the A in mid December and received BC about two weeks ago. The match dates/deadlines do not apply to us since we do not participate in the match.

Is A&M planning any preview days, online info sessions, etc before match rankings are due?

I believe the only utmb is the only one that does preview days. I have not received any email from A&M about online info, even after I got accepted.

Prematch today! I gotta say I loved my interviews here more than any other school. I'm fully convinced they have great and interactive faculty. Not sure how I'll rank it yet.

Complete early August, interviewed Nov. 19th
