Lol. Texas Tech just sent me an email telling me I was rejected. Ummmm, I ranked them lower than my prematch offer to Foster, then I matched to UTMB. Of course I'm not going there. They didn't need to tell me that. That's a perfect example of, "You can't quit, you're fired!"

Some folks don’t like being told no...that’s life lol

I was waitlisted and have sent my LOI. I've also heard of a letter of support, a letter written by a current student in support of my candidacy for medical school. I've developed a professional relationship with a current Tech student and wanted to know what kind of weight this type of letter holds (or if it even exists as it's something I've only briefly heard about and can't find any other information on). Would greatly appreciate any insight from @wysdoc

Best of luck to any other fellow waistlisters!

Current student here. I'm pretty sure LOI's get added to your application but are not read. Was told this directly by an adcom when I had applied here. As such they have no real impact on your chances. Best thing to do when waitlisted is to not wait for a miracle, and just keep improving your app.
 
I've heard from 2 random individuals who said that Tech's academics/competitiveness has gone down over the past couple of years...is this true?

Just my 2 cents obviously, but I feel like it actually has been going the opposite direction. For admissions it looks like average MCAT & GPA keep going up. The match list this year looks pretty solid as well tbh. I could see it if someone said it has like stagnated or isn't increasing as fast as it could, but I personally don't see an argument that could be made for the academics becoming worse.

agreed here. to my understanding every MD school gets more competitive every year as people do more and more EC hours and there are more applicants

What time you received a call? I am on waitlist and didn’t get one so just wanted to ask if you mind sharing when were you waitlisted

I did not send an LOI, and I received the call on April 30th.
Not gonna lie, I saw the number was from Lubbock Texas, and then when they said they were from TTUSOM I was prepping my thank you speech for the acceptance lol.
I don’t think the call means anything, tbh. I tried to get as much info as I could from them, but they weren’t willing to give up any.
 
Anyone get off the waitlist in-state today. Today was quite on posts. I am wait listed at Tech and another Texas school. Anxiously awaiting a call. It just seems like little movement this year off waitlist. I know everyone says it’s a weird year. Just trying to keep my hopes up. I have this coming year TMDSAS application ready to go.
 
Hey y’all, I was hoping someone would be able to help me out here. I have a friend who got into tech after May 15th without matching on March 5th and also without prematching anywhere. She’s also waitlisted at another school & was wondering if she’ll be able to withdraw her acceptance at tech if she’s accepted into her preferred school. Thanks in advance!!

Yes she could but remember getting 2 WL offers at this late date is uncommon.
Is your friend on SDN?
 
If I currently hold a spot at a TMDSAS school but am still on another TMDSAS school waitlist, since it is past the May 15th deadline does this mean I can no longer be accepted to my waitlisted school.

Yes, you will be attending the school you hold an acceptance at. You are taken off the wailist at the other schools.
 
My friend got offered admission!! She was NOT on the waitlist though after the match…she was a dual applicant for one of the programs and got accepted to the other school (law) but didn’t match. It was so unexpected but super awesome!! She got the email Thursday
 
When did people receive the notification of any scholarships they received?
