That person was a TX resident with 7 TMDSAS interviews. I believe they got off the waitlist though

That is amazing to have a Texas resident having seven interviews that didnt match. Where did they end up.

I'm not sure! Another person didn't match with 6 but got off their #2 and #3. This was all before Baylor joined TMDSAS though, I heard waitlist movement was really decreased last year because of it.

You’re right, thanks the waiting just sucks and I don’t know when I should prepare to reapply because I likely won’t find out if I match until March and the application opens in may/June.
It’s not a mistake, they (Texas Tech Lubbock,specifically) does this sometimes to talk to someone more or clarify something. Take it as a good sign and set up the interview.
Even if they pre-matched?
Did they apply to more than one program?
The person who asked this did not say they had pre-matched, just that they had interviewed.
But, if they did ask you to check in after a pre-match, it could be checking on your pre-requisite courses.
Yeah I didn’t pre match. Only applied to one program also. That is interesting though, I hadn’t heard of schools doing this before. Thanks for letting me know!

They are completely independent schools with no relationship.
El Paso doesn't accept them, so, just Lubbock!
They do not
Attention to detail is a crucial skill a prospective doctor needs to develop.
I would have been shocked if they did!

Come on now…
@wysdoc aint a prospective doctor and so doesn't apply. Real doctors dont have a lot of humility in my opinion because they do want people to take their opinions as gospel, medical or otherwise. 😀

I am so sorry guys. I understand it was a dumb question. I was genuinely just asking a question about the texas tech programs. I am an international applicant and wanted to confirm it on this site. wont happen again
Please remember that there are a lot of fellow students (applicants) here but also senior admins who are established doctors, faculty and even many secret admissions people tracking these threads who can sometimes figure out who you are!
Btw do you get an F1 visa if you are an international applicant?
#3 so far, thanks for the positive words haha

Hey y’all! Does anyone know if Texas Tech also sends post-interview rejections/waitlists before match day or do they wait until match day 🫢
None of the Texas schools (excluding TCU) send waitlists after an interview but before match day. It is also uncommon to send rejections post interview before match day although we have seen a couple people post an exception from UTMB.
Texas Tech has sent rejections post match day in 2022 before leaving some on waitlist. A communication was sent to all interviewed candidates giving them a waitlist or a rejection.

since you have 3 acceptances. Which one will you choose? Also does Lubbock send out a lot of pre-matches?
Haha, I'm not totally sure about which one I want to choose yet - and am still waiting for any more rays of hope to come from the med school clouds. Not sure about Lubbock's prematch situation either, but other people may have more info on that.

Since Tech sent out pre-matches last week, it looks like we may not get a pre-match wave for at least another month based on threads from previous years 🥺
Any II recently?
Thank you for putting all this effort in tracking all these dates.
II today at 4 PM CST.

For anyone that has completed interviews and done the post-interview survey, you had to select your interview date from a drop-down list. What dates are included in that dropdown? I'm just curious as to when the last interview date is.

How many prematches has this school sent out already? Or at least does anyone know how many waves of pre-matches ?
Late July.
For those who went to a previous preview day, what was the dress code? And are there any good, cheap places to stay at for those flying in.

I'm 99% sure that the admissions office works with visiting applicants and pairs them with current students who have volunteered to host free overnight stays at their own houses/apartments. It's definitely worth a shot to ask the admissions office. In previous years, the school has offered various informal preview/second look days, and the dress code is pretty relaxed. Most people show up in jeans and a college sweater.
Thank you so much!

I’m not completely sure but on past threads I think there’s a trend where they send one last batch of pre matches (before match day) sometime in December!
Can someone talk about the pre-interview dinner social? Would you all say its important to attend? I have my interview on upcoming wednesday and I’ve already requested a leave from work for that day. I can request to be off on tuesday as well if it is important to attend the social dinner.
I am super glad to have the chance to interview here and don’t want to create the wrong impression.

It's by no means mandatory. Its purpose is just to make you feel more comfortable with the format. It's simply a casual hangout where you can talk about anything from good food places in lubbock to research opportunities in med school. This school really cares about providing a laid-back, stress-free interview experience, and the virtual hangout is just to help do that. You'll meet the nicest people ever, and the whole thing will not even feel like a med school interview. Good luck. Just be yourself and genuinely enjoy it.
Does it require a day off to attend an online dinner event? Are you working nightshift @Newbieuser?

It is not important to attend. It has absolutely no bearing on your chances of admission. It is just an opportunity for you to ask questions to current students before you interview. If that would help calm your interview nerves, I would recommend going. If you don't really have any questions about the school that need to be answered BEFORE the interview, don't worry about going. There will be plenty of opportunities to ask questions during the interview and before school starts.
Got an II this morning!
