Word is that Dell is very match heavy (prematch nonheavy). Despite this, anyone know how many prematches go out on Oct 15?
 
Does anyone know if Dell accepts post secondary but pre-II update/interest letter? I recently published a couple of papers that I think would potentiall could help w their decision. TYIA!

Dell does not. But have those things ready to talk about at an interview.
 
Has anyone heard back from Dell since their interview? Their website says Dell begins extending acceptances after Oct 15...any A's?
after October 15, not on October 15.
Looking at past years, they have begun pre-match offers at the end of October.

Your letters (3 minimum, 4 maximum) should be submitted via TMDSAS. Are you still waiting on one of your recommenders?
I have 3 letters in and was waiting on the extra one. However, I just messaged TMDSAS to take the extra one off today.
 
What are yall's stats (GPA and MCAT) if you dont mind be asking for those who have either received an interview or have already pre-matched?
 
I don’t men to overthink this, but is missing the social the night before a bad look? I have work and can’t make it.
 
Has anyone received an invite to an on-campus interview after completing the virtual interview? I'm a little confused because I remember an email at the beginning of the cycle mentioning there would be on-campus interviews after the virtual ones, but I haven't seen anything about them since then.

During the interview for my session, they mentioned that that was the pre-covid delta surge plan. It’s just the virtual interview for this cycle

They're in the process of planning their in-person second look for accepted students in the spring. I'm not sure if this is for students with prematch offers (which they haven't sent out as far as I know) in early spring or for students after match day. They said they aren't offering any other kind of tours or visits right now.
 
I checked last year and there were some prematch by this time. They’re really taking their time this year then @@

I'll just point out that Dell also does their pre-match process a little differently than other schools. Most Texas schools send out a batch of acceptances at once on certain dates on a rolling basis. Dell likes to call each acceptee individually and usually do only a couple per day at a time. They also pick up more in the late Winter/Spring as people start finalizing their school decision. So if you haven't heard back at all don't worry, just take it one day at a time

Have you heard of people receiving interview invites months after submitting their secondary? I submitted mine late july-early august. From the past threads it seems that the later interviews in December/January went to those who submitted their secondary's October and later.

During my student panel, multiple students said they got their interviews in January. They didn’t necessarily mention their secondary dates, but I hope that helps put you at ease for a dry November. The adcoms also promised that Dell’s class comes kind of evenly from the prematch, match, and waitlist. They actually promised waitlist movement. Dell is weird, in a good way. Stay positive!
