Don't know. But Baylor said they are only going to offer ~75 prematch offers this cycle at the interview last Friday. That is probably 1/4 of their admits so they are likely going to be light on prematch offers compared to UTSW who from what I've heard fills their class mostly through prematch.
Yeah from the MS1s who I spoke with on interview day, it seems most students were admitted on Match day.
For OOS applicants , do you guys think they will send acceptances on the 15th ?
I would just contact the school about this
Did you already list it under sciences and TMDSAS is listing it as biology on your approved transcript?
Same exact situation as you. LM 71 ORM IS Reapplicant who interviewed here. Make sure you show baylor the person they fell in love with on paper during interview day! I'm rooting for you!
Thank you!!
OptionalII also on 10/4! Does anyone know if pre-interview social is required or optional? I have a conflict
I got an email with all the details on Monday
Interesting I wonder why I didn't 🤣
I haven't been to either
did you finish your interview?
No other Texas schools have had a branch campus that people stay at all 4 years.
That is true, it was the houston open house. I’d assume there would be a lot more excitement demonstrated at the Temple open house. There were some people who seemed to express hesitation around temple campus in front of the tour guides which was interesting. I was really referring to my private conversations with other applicants at the tour but it’s a pretty small sample size.
Students. They made very clear that they have absolutely no influence on our admissions decisions.
It is surprising to hear current students being excited about Temple campus. It is not like they were there or will be going there.
Since the Baylor team has said that campus assignments aren't being made now but later in the application cycle, let them know your opinion a little later. Did you talk about it on your interview day?
Yes, I tried to slide my interest in during both of my interviews.
can't answer your question, but looking to attend the january 21 open house. is it totally weird and embarrassing for my mom to come with me? what's the vibe
The email said we can’t bring any guests with us so i don’t think you are able to, sorry :/
@wysdoc mentioned Mayo but Mayo is quite distinct in terms of how each of their schools are quite small - The main campus only has 40 seats and Arizona and Florida have 30 each (?). This is more like how Columbia started a Bassett campus and NYU started a Long Island campus, much smaller than the main ones.

The focus at Temple will be closer to training people to work in underserved areas (I am guessing) since they are training high school students at many of the underserved areas. They are also creating rural residency programs.
Texas Magnet School Affiliates
Baylor College of Medicine partners with several high schools and middle schools to develop programs for students interested in careers in healthcare....
"Several graduates from Texas Magnet School Affiliates have entered Baylor and The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley’s B.S./M.D. program, or the Joint Admissions Medical Program."
But one can not discount temple as a great place for residencies and fellowships. I have bumped into cardiologists, internists, hemotologists and so on in the recent past who have all been trained in Temple. Going to Temple should allow you to have access those programs by default (they were all A&Ms not sure if they stay that way).
Bottom line, Temple will be a great addition by the time they graduate their first batch just as Dell and Rio Grande are, UH will soon be and UTT and Temple will be the newcomers. The main difference in year 1 is that those who want to go to UT Tyler are doing so voluntarily while BCM is not giving the same choice upfront to people who may truly want to be at Temple while letting the rest who are only interested in Houston have a choice before prematch. Those applying to Bassett (Columbia) and Long Island (NYU) apply separately so interest is clear while BCM is not giving that option or making one's intentions clear before prematch.
Gotcha. I already did my interviews and was difficult to emphasize campus preferences because both of them were Temple faculty. But thank you for the response!
Glad you said this, I don't think people realize that even the most prestigious universities emphasize primary care.
Temple will be an independent school for all practical purposes with their own faculty and rotations with an overall Baylor label. Once the school is fully implemented, the Houston school and Temple school will have zero relationship and will operate independent of each other. This is what essentially has happened with A&M EnMed program. Even their interviewing policies are different where A&M says online while EnMed says please come in person.
Thank you for voicing this. I hate being pessimistic or negative in any way but I feel the same way as you. BCM Houston is my dream school but idk if I can rank it over the other 3 schools you mentioned. At the same time, I understand that it is a huge privilege to even be interviewing here period.
Good point. But for me and probably many others, it boils down to the location that is not related to prestige or opportunities. I’m sure Temple will give me many medical-related opportunities, but that’s not why I prefer Houston or San Antonio or Dallas.
You hit the nail on the head. I agree 100%, the main difference would be whether you want to live in Temple vs Houston.
Lmao I feel you lol. I think DFW is the best in Texas but no love from UTSW.
In your case you could try to get Dallas for MS3-MS4 if accepted to A&M.
