Can someone please comment on the options for 4th year rotations? Are you stuck in the city you chose or can you do rotations at the different branch/satellite campuses?

Similar to every other US school, you are always able to apply for away rotations during your 4th year (especially to places you want to go for residency), so that is always an option.

However, you are able to rotate at any of the clinic locations (and this includes Temple, despite not being able to do 3rd year core rotations there) and it is considered a home rotation. This means it is easier to set up (not to mention you will likely have med school friends in the area you may be able to room with) and every site is considered a home program for residencies (regardless if you ever visited).

It is not unheard of for students to align an elective schedule at another campus to spend several months in, say, Dallas even though their clinical site is Round Rock.

hey yall might be a dumb question, but if you got an interview for enmed and the MD program are you supposed to have 2 entries to rank on tmdsas or just one?

Just so happens that THES made a blog post about this question this week!
Medical Acceptances for Dual Degree Program Applicants

If you have doubts after reading this, message TMDSAS in your portal and your liaison will respond to you directly
 
Do they still have OOS acceptances to offer at this point? For EnMed or regular MD. Starting to lose hope ngl.
I think it’s too early to be worried, as OOS applicants still have not needed to narrow down their choices if they have other acceptances. They can fill OOS spots if people withdraw, I’m guessing in April.
 
Are we allowed to send Letters of Intent for TAMU (Regular or EnMed program) post-interview?

OOS student...since match day happened, should I send an email regarding a letter of intent now? Interviewed back in September, but haven't heard anything yet.
 
I emailed them, and it turns out that I received the regular MD offer. This was surprising because I have never seen anyone who interviewed at EnMed but got into the regular MD. Still, happy to go to A&M since this is my 3rd time applying!
Congrats on the acceptance future doc
 
hi y'all, I didn't match here and am wondering if I'm on the WL or not. My portal status changed back to under review, do y'all know what it might mean?

Their website says they send notifications to waitlisted people on March 11th so you should wait for that day to find out! I also didn't match but my status says "interviewed". I honestly don't think it means anything
 
If we are OOS (enmed) applicants who had an interview already, are we either going to be put on the alternate list on March 11 or rejected at this point? Or can we still be accepted after match day?

Does anybody know likelihood of getting accepted off EnMed alt list?
It's hard to tell because all the data that's shown is for entire TAMU applicants. I assume it's lower than other MD programs because the program is very niche that people are willing to give up higher ranked schools. I personally know a person who ranked EnMed higher than Baylor. It's only n=1 so take my words with a grain of salt.
 
If I haven’t yet received an email regarding my status for both EnMed and straight MD, can I automatically assume it is an R considering they have sent out alternate emails already?

I thought alternate emails are still going out through tomorrow but I could be wrong

What does it mean to be an OOS applicant (regular MD) who is post-II and not heard anything back? Is a WL or A still possible or is this a soft R? Any insight is appreciated - thank you!

It usually means that they have extended 10% invitations already to OOS and waiting for their responses. If people turn down their admission, it will open up opportunities for others, OOS or IS depending on how late in the cycle these openings become available.
