Did you happen to ask if they would be okay with emailing a letter of intent? Only concern I have with doing so is in the application completion email they sent it states that they do not accept any updates sent directly to the school. So don't know if that would come across as not following directions or being impatient. @wysdoc can you please school me with your wisdom on what you think?
This sounds like they don't want any updates, sorry.
But Fall 2020 final grades aren't out till mid-December, right?
it depends on your school. Enter them when you get them 🙂
Hey guys, I asked them the other day to make sure it wasn’t my fault and they said they are aware of the issue and will be adding it to TMDSAS in the next week or 2!
same, i’ve been wearing the mask 24/7 ever since i got it.
Please consider washing it 😛
This could mean absolutely nothing but the postcard I got is different than this one. It was a thank you for attending the interview but then mentioned something about hopefully inviting students back in the spring for an in person tour. Also no mask or magnet yet. Anyone else get this one?
+1
I don’t believe it means anything. I received both — the post card you mentioned soon after my interview day and then received the mask/magnet this week.
Or just that the Med student or work study student who was supposed to go to the post office didn’t do it.
Nope! Prematched and didn’t receive a mask or magnet. Maybe it’s a consolation for not prematching 😉
same 🙂
I know of a couple OOSers who got the A in mid-December last year. Not sure if that will hold true in this wacky year, but I'd say it's a rough ballpark.
I received my II on a Tuesday but wysdoc over on Republic of Texas Cowboy Code has been keeping a tracker of when invites & acceptances have been sent out. If you check, you may be able to find a pattern (or not).
I got mine on a Monday but I'm pretty sure they're random just based on past invitation dates
That information will be released Spring 2021. Keep in mind that UT Housing is high in demand (at least it was the last time I checked), and incoming MS1s are low on the totem pole, so expect to be placed on a waiting list unless you are lucky enough to snag a vacancy. If you’re really chomping at the bit to secure housing, I would Google apartments around the Med Center and sign up for virtual tours to explore your options in case UT Housing doesn’t work out.
nah just a letter which is the same thing as the acceptance email and letter on the portal
Since there will be some students who change their minds or end up matching somewhere else, most schools save their detailed packets for
I didn't even think about it being a holiday- you make a great point there. Thank you for sharing your thoughts/detailed response & positivity! This definitely makes me feel a lot better, thank you!! Best of luck to you as well
Did you get the invite today? Congrats!!
I have similar stats as you and got an II a couple weeks back. I too was surprised and was like what part of my application did they like so much? And should I try to emphasize that during my interview?
The interviews at McGovern are typically very relaxed and conversational. During my first interview, they asked me more traditional questions along the lines of "why medicine" and "tell me more about XYZ experience listed on your application". My second interview was fun because we just talked about my research the whole time so it went by really fast.
Did you get ii today? Pls update
No, it was a few weeks ago.
Thanks a lot!!
