just got an II! does anyone know if this school will accept you before completing their prereqs? I've already graduated and haven't taken genetics yet but I can take genetics at my community college, debating whether I should just do that or not...but then I also don't wanna take an entire course just to get rejected LOL

I would postpone that thought until later in the cycle because the Spring semester is still several months away, and you can always take it then.

Hi current MS1 after your interviews they usually meet every 2 weeks and makes decisions on your application. So you could find out, but I had several friends who took it during their spring semester prior to matriculating. Hope that helps!

Hello hello! MS2 here. Congrats to those who have gotten interviews so far!! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions 😊
Hi! how religious is the school are they anti-choice? Does the new Texas law change what the teach about abortions

Hey there. The school may be called Texas Christian University; however, religion is not taught nor discussed at all in our curriculum-except for discussing the importance of treating all equally regardless of religious beliefs or not. The school teaches students to follow the 4 medical ethics principles and to always act in the patient's best interest. The school does not endorse a political side. I hope this helps!

Has anyone interviewed here yet? Interested in any insight on the interview day + Friday session!
 
does anyone know the oos/is ratio of their class? or do they follow the tx guidelines with >90% IS

There is no separate instate tuition which makes it hard to designate higher number of students for IS. If someone got into another state school in Texas, they would be forced to choose the other school due to cost alone.

Hi, current MS1 TCU is not part of TMDSAS and is a private school so they are not bound to the 90% in-state rule that the other texas medical schools are. I can't remember the statistic off the top of my head but there are more OOS than IS students! Hope that helps

anyone already interview here? what was it like?
Hi, I don't think people are allowed to discuss the contents of the question that are asked but the interview is a MMI format ( they will go over the logistics the day of). The interview includes 2 parts: Monday is the actual interview and Friday is an open house to allow y'all to ask any questions. Hope this helps!

It's optional and your attendance is not mandatory. It's more of an opportunity for you to talk to current students and ask them any questions you may have about the school, curriculum, etc... I would recommend going if you have the time to meet current students but do whatever is best for you!

Is there a screen for the supplemental application? How fast did y’all get the application after you were processed?
 
Really thought I was a good fit here but I haven't heard anything back yet and I was complete mid-July. Does anyone know if they send out under review emails/holds/anything before getting an II?

It's still early. They're very holistic in how they review apps from what I've experienced (interviewed last week). Just give it some time.
 
Hello! For social sciences, we accept coursework from psychology, cultural anthropology, sociology, economics, health care administration, public policy, public health, family studies, history, political science, social work and behavioral health. Your statistics course can come from various departments, such as psychology, business or mathematics. Missing these courses at the time of application does not mean you are out, for you have until June 1, 2022 to complete all pre-requisite coursework. Please contact our office if you have any further questions!
Does counseling classes count as a social science?

Yes I am aware that I'm neurotic and that it is still early. You didn't answer my question though :rofl:

Hey guys! Does anyone know if they accept application updates? Like activity updates? If so, is it by email? I don’t see a section on the portal. I forgot if they mentioned anything during the interview so thought I’d ask if anyone knew before I email them.
 
II. First interview of the cycle after two months of waiting!

International, complete 08/08.

Will they open more interview dates up? So far only 11/22 is available and I can't make that date. I just got the interview offer today. Would you guys recommend waiting or contacting the office of admissions?

Just wait. They fill up dates first before they add more. Just keep checking back periodically over the next couple of days.
 
II invite today! Instate ; mcat 510, gpa 3.9

Just finished my interview. I really like this school. It was very well organized , MMI format, they gave couple of 20 min breaks in between which helped. Took 5 hrs , I was running out of gas towards the end. :). Friday is just an info session.

The MMI process took 5 hours or the whole interview day

Wow. GL. Manifesting that A for you. I have my interview soon. If you don't mind, was it heavily scenario-based?
