OOS alternate over here as well. I looked at MSAR waitlist positions and it said 8-10 spots with 8 acceptances.
Anyone know how accurate this reporting is?
They are not specific to OOS. OOS is admissions in Texas are usually limited to 10% of the overall class.

So would that essentially mean that, from the 8-10 waitlist spots, only about one to come off of it would be from OOS, statistically speaking?
Or are there 8-10 people that usually get added to the waitlist, including IS and OOS applicants? In this case, most added to the waitlist (even if they are OOS), would eventually be accepted.
The AAMC is stating that typically 8-10 are put waitlist and I want to dispute that number since it looks several who just posted saying they are on waitlist are all OOS.
People coming off the waitlist are listed as a total of 8. I cant imagine every single person is OOS.
The class size is 124, 9 people are OOS although they are allowed 12.
TX schools will only replace one OOS with another OOS and so for anyone waiting on the waitlist, please be aware another OOS person has to give up their admission. The OOS waitlist applies only to OOS positions.

Has anyone tried asking the admissions office about their position on the alternate list?
Sorry, none of the Texas schools will track or give you your number on the waitlist.
What’s the difference between a prelim year and a transitional year?
I just copied it as I saw it from their Match Day slide show.
In essence they are the same, but I would hazard a guess that those which say "Transitional year" had tried to match into a specialty that requires a transitional year (like ophthalmology or radiology) but matched only the transitional part but not the specialty residency.
The "preliminary year" guys may have failed to match and got something (for 1 year at least) in the SOAP round.
I am IS and will be giving up my spot here as I was just accepted off waitlist to my top choice. Good luck all!
Congratulations! Where are you headed?
Thank you! Sorry I didn't mention, but I was admitted to UTMB off waitlist.
Withdrew from TT El Paso! Good luck Class of 2027!

Congrats! Please let us know when you’ve had time to think it over whether you will attend 🙂
Does anyone know if PLFSOM gives instate tuition as a norm to OOS students?
I emailed the admissions office asking about that because I forgot if that was the case or not. I still haven’t heard back yet
Even if they don't offer you a tuition discount of being able to pay IS tuition, the OOS tuition here is $36,435 - still quite affordable compared to AMCAS schools.
That’s true, but their OOS tuition compared to my state school IS tuition is very similar, so I’m looking to see if tech can provide a financial edge.
