What happens if you miss a call from them?
They'll probably try again. At last resort, email.

No, I'm saying I'm IS, I'm from Texas, but I got an acceptance at a school in another state. Could I still use this acceptance as leverage even though it's at a school out of state?
Playing one school off against another is not such a good look.

congratulations!
Does anyone know if Dell gives scholarships prior to the ranking deadline? I have multiple prematch offers (Dell being one of them), and cost
will likely sway me towards one school vs another.
will likely sway me towards one school vs another.
Also in the same boat. If I remember correctly, I believe that Dell’s aid is mostly need based. I may be wrong. In any case, most schools won’t send an aid package until after Match Day.

Hello, pre-matched as well. Really so pleasantly surprised! I sounded super funny on the phone call I am sure 🤣
Congrats to the people who prematched! When did you guys interview? I don't know if they go in order and am curious.
I’m hoping it wasn’t a recorded line because I probably blanked twice during the call out of disbelief lol.
I interviewed 9/21

I have heard of many that submitted early but didn't get interviews until January or so. It's a long, gruelling process and many applicants get a second pass in the review process. While I know some people have acceptances, many schools are still interviewing for the next couple months.

Just to comment further: no, it’s ok if you don’t go. There are only students at the social and we won’t notice if you don’t show up. The social is for your benefit: get a feel for the school and the projects current students are doing, ask questions about the curriculum, get to know your fellow interviewees. It was really comforting for me to see friendly faces the next day.
I agree it is nice for candid feedback, but less so on Zoom tbh. No real 1:1 in that format. You can reach out to any of us on here and we can put you in touch w/ other students if you have specific questions.
Yeah, I legit was coming up with my answer during the third question answering time. So I stared for the first 20ish seconds when I was supposed to be answering. I wouldn't worry too much about it as long as you gave genuine answers 🙂
I thought I did pretty bad on the secondary lol Ended up prematching. It's not the end of the road. I'm sure you did better than you think! 😃
Appreciate y'all so much!! Congratulations on the interviews/acceptance ☺️!!

If people who interviewed later than me received prematches, will I still be able to match with Dell (since there are interviews until Feb that will be considered for match)?
Yes of course, they don’t fill their entire class number with prematches, and some who prematched to Dell might have other prematches they will rank higher.

I interviewed at the first interview date, but haven’t been called about an acceptance. Does that mean I didn’t get a pre-match?
That means they are still thinking you over. They'll compare you to those who interviewed after you. Only 1 in 7 TMDSAS applicants gets a pre-match.

is there still hope to get a secondary from this school? 🙏🏼
looking through this thread, a few people said they got secondaries between Nov 2 and 5. Dell does take their time with the primaries to select, so maybe-
Received call for II today! Received and submitted secondary mid September, submitted primary early June
Same! have you got the confirmation email yet?
Yep got it about an hour ago!

Yes it’s reasonable to email Dell admissions and let them know you would love to see their school updated in your TMDSAS portal so you can rank them
I’m in the same position and did email the admissions team like you’ve advised, but nothing has changed.
Read the other posts on this page, has been answered. When were you offered the secondary?
9/27!
Dell is typically delayed. You can give them a call like I did, and they'll send their email faster. However, their typical schedule is to send the email the day before.
Submitted my secondary 8/30 and I just got an II yesterday, 12/17. So, it can still happen. They dates I was offered were Jan 6 and Jan 26/27, can't remember the exact day for the second one.
I got the confirmation email for the interview date the same day, and they said a more detailed email about the interview day would be sent 2-3 days ahead of the scheduled interview. So, if you didn't get the confirmation email I would contact them. I think it is different than the email they send right before the interview day.
Does anyone know how late in the cycle Dell continues to send out secondaries? Just wondering if I still have a chance 🙂

The last one reported the last cycle was Dec 26...
I received an invitation for secondary today.

does anyone have a rough estimate of how many prematches have come out?
