2021-2022 Texas A&M

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Current M1 here- if y'all have any questions about A&M COM feel free to DM me! I honestly love going to medical school here and am very happy. It's a great place!
 
For those who have interviewed: how was it? Although I haven’t received the schedule breakdown yet, 7:15-4 is intimidating.

Any insight would be well appreciated, especially on the patient sim

It was pretty relaxed. The first half of the day is just learning about TAMU and the things they offer. You only interview for 2x 30 min slots. One with staff/faculty and one with a student (for most people).
 
YAY Congrats to everyone who's gotten a prematch!! is there a chance we can get a prematch email throughout the rest of the day as well? or do they only send one batch of acceptance emails in the morning?
 
^^ anyone heard on the EnMed side?
I know they're still interviewing EnMed folks. One of my interviews mentioned they received a lot of interest from highly qualified students in and out of state, so they're likely taking their time ranking everyone they're interested in before they send out offers... At least that's what I'm telling myself 😅

Only reason I ask is last year, the same question came up about whether EnMed people had heard anything throughout the day of prematch. So I’m wondering if EnMed will follow the same routine - give out some A’s but just later in the day
 
Congratulations to everyone who pre-matched today! If you're in BCS and you go out to celebrate tonight then there's a decent chance you'll see some of my fellow M1's celebrating finishing our first class today! One year from now, you'll be in our shoes having the experience of a lifetime.

To everyone still waiting and maybe a little disappointed, please keep your head high and remember that Match Day is far away and when most will get their acceptance. You are still an amazing individual and you'll be a M1 soon enough, too!
 
I’m sorry if this is annoying, but do you think those are all the prematches for today? (for regular acceptance)

I was wondering this too, it feels like fewer prematches were sent so far compared to previous years tbh
 
Also! For those of us who haven't prematched yet - don't forget, some prematch offers from TAMU go to the early acceptance programs like E2M etc., I have friends who are in that program who heard they got in today, so some of the day 1 offers likely went to them too.
 
So ... I'm guessing we don't hear about any EnMeds today? Unless they wanna squeeze in offers after 330pm CST - but I don't know if that's likely, because old posts don't have the time they were posted, only the dates. If anyone has something to weigh in about past EnMed acceptances that'd be really appreciated.

Sorry for the back-to-back messages.

I can’t tell tbh

Thank you for sharing that!! If A&M was to ever release more prematches - do you have any guesses on when that might be?

based on last year -
I've got more TAMU COM prematches (so non-EnMed) happened about 2 weeks later, the next EnMed batch appeared to be 3 weeks later.

For anyone who is interested, I have a friend who prematched today through E2M, but still didn't hear anything from EnMed.

Thank you so much dude! Im gnna stop refreshing my email now haha
 
Got this from an EnMed student the other day, thought it’d be helpful to share: this is EnMeds first year to be standalone as the newly established Intercollegiate School of Engineering Medicine, meaning that they can now likely play by their own rules and break pattern from what they’ve done in previous years (i.e. why there aren’t any apparent prematch offers heard of yet)

Any news for MD/PhD applicants? During the interview and on the website they said they might be giving acceptances out on the 15th but said they might be a bit late too.
 
I know I have someone interviewing at EnMed tomorrow - but anyone else who might be doing so, or even MD/PhD applicants, would y'all mind asking what the timeline would be for acceptances now that rolling admissions have started? That is, only if you feel comfortable doing so.

Because, now that they're behind, it throws off the pattern and every day could be "the day" for those programs.
 
Did anyone log onto their application portal to see an "Interview RSVP" message, but status still says "Under Review"?

So, I might be misunderstanding your question - but if I'm getting this right, you have an II (or have interviewed) and your status says "under review" still.

If that's the case - last year's thread in TAMU had a few people asking the same questions, some ppl had interviewed but their status said "under review" instead of "interviewed". The hypothesis back then was that it was just a bug and didn't mean anything.

If I'm misunderstanding, I am sorry

Don't worry too much about these small wording things on portals.
Important news like interview invitations or admissions offers will come to your email inbox 🙂

that's exactly it! thank you.
 
Is there a pre-interview social for TAMU? I don’t recall seeing anything
 
Does A&M allow pre-II update letters?
A couple months ago I checked on this for Texas schools. From what I found, Texas A&M, Tech El Paso don't accept updates. McGovern accepts an update only after an interview. I couldn't find anything about Dell, but sent one anyway. I sent updates to all the rest of the Texas schools. I applied really early this cycle and now I am working as a scribe in the ER. So I updated them on how this is giving me great clinical experience.
 
Do we have an idea at this point in the cycle approximately how many interviews are expected to be left? This is my top choice and I’m kinda surprised I’ve heard nothing just because my application aligns with their mission and everything so well. Trying to be patient but just curious!

You can follow along over here to see how many days they have sent out interview invitations: #2

Last year their last invitations went out the first week of December. But to answer your exact question I don't know & can't predict how many more interviews remain.
