Does any one know the approx. number of applicants placed on the AL?
*This is what I remember hearing at some point*
When a spot comes available, I believe they have a meeting and holistically review those on the alternate list and make a decision at that time- it isn't as simple as a ranked list or a number generator, but it's a thorough holistic review and meeting to make the decision.
A small school such as TCU will need to choose from alternates someone who fits similar traits as someone who gave up the slot based on various institutional goals (race, first gen, low income etc) in order to keep the balance of the class. A lot of work goes into keeping that balance.

If anyone has an MSAR account, what is the acceptance rate at TCU? On another website it was reported as 0.78% which is insanely low and I am not sure how true that is.

MSAR info: 6328 verified applications -> 320 interviewed -> 1 deferred -> 60 matriculated
less than 1% of verified applicants matriculated
acceptance rate is unknown
For this school you have to take into consideration that they don’t offer everyone a secondary, interview a small number compared to other Texas schools, and have a class size of 60.

Hi. I know TCU does not accept letter of interests but I am curious if any one sent in one and what the outcomes were. I am really interested but do not know how to express it since updates are not accepted.
TCU does not accept letters of interest - they have restated this so many times.
If you defy their request it doesn't help you 🙁
Received an acceptance call today! On CC since my interview in October.
Does anyone know if TCU uses NBME exams?
Yes each block exam is NBME

Incoming M1 here. I need to find housing ASAP. What are the best housing app./resources for TCU M1s? Also, what is the best geographical location for an M1 without a car that is safe and convenient? E.g., should I be looking for housing near the med. school, or near TCU, or near the medical district?

I cant PM you for some reason? your permissions maybe?
The class is always full at this point. People can pull out before commit to enroll date due to which there will be openings.
It already happened — June 1
They wont be able to leave for another AMCAS program any more. Some may get a deferral on an emergency basis or only other option is to drop out and reapply (can also go to a DO program).
I believe this person was admitted due to CTE deadline passing which created one or more openings.

Me as well please!
This is an appeal to applicants who have taken Casper for admission to Texas Christian University SOM (before the 2023 application cycle).
Complete the 2023 Situational Judgment Test Experience survey.
HPSA/SDN has the 2023 SJT Experience Survey available to anyone preparing for SJTs (especially Casper and PREview). If you completed the 2022 survey, you are welcome to go ahead and complete the survey again. This survey consists of multiple pages and will take up to 10 minutes. You can also place yourself on a waitlist for a study focusing more on school-run SJTs run through platforms like Kira Talent, to be released later in the year.
Your feedback matters!
We learned a lot about how applicants prepared for Casper and PREview last year, but the number of PREview schools has almost doubled this cycle! Over 20% of all AMCAS applicants will likely have taken PREview, and up to 90% of all medical school applicants will likely have taken Casper this cycle (according to Acuity Insights). This does not include applicants in non-medical professions who have had to take these assessments for admission to physician assistant, anesthesiology assistant, dental, veterinary, pharmacy, or physical therapy programs, where we see a trend that applicants with higher Casper results are preferred. Medical residency applicants are also being asked to complete Acuity Insights Assessments, and very little is known about how program directors use these data. Your responses are vital to get objective insights on how admissions committees value the results of these exams.
Your feedback matters!
We want to hear from as many people as possible, especially those attending or applying outside of medicine (MD/DO). This year saw an expansion of SJTs in admissions, and more information has been made available on preparing for these assessments. We want to stay current with these trends to guide future applicants and students facing these SJTs.
Many of our findings from the 2022 survey align with the NAAHP Testing Task Force report released last summer. This includes concerns about proctoring, consistency of scoring, and concern that applicants are paying for validity research. But we need more student voices to gain a louder voice to advocate for future health professional school applicants.
Your feedback has helped HPSA develop a workshop focused on preparing for SJTs like Casper and PREview. This workshop is part of our Becoming a Student Doctor preparation course, and we have already had some positive results among those who have participated in our mock interview workshops. An updated workshop will be presented at the UC Davis Prehealth Conference on October 14, and we welcome opportunities to present the full-length SJT workshop to your campus!
Fill out this survey and help future applicants become physicians in their chosen profession!
