It won't stop even once you're accepted, I have a friend who's already at a different medical school and they still gets these emails lolOkay, why are they sending me random emails, like just let me know Iām rejected or somethingā¦what are the chances of getting a II at this point?
Yeah I would like to school the school as wellIs there a second visit or tour or anything for this school?
I am hoping and praying as well too. IS and interviewed on 10/25Winter is coming. Hopefully pre matches are too!
I know that there are tours offerred by the school that you would just schedule through their website. But I'm not sure if they're planning on having one day for everyone to come by.Is there a second visit or tour or anything for this school?
Can you give any insight as to how TCOM views interviews in determining the A/WL/R list?
Not sure if this helps, but HSC Policy 15.503, "TCOM - Applicant Selection", talks about how they rank applicants and it briefly mentions the interviews. It's a public policy that can be viewed here: https://unthsc.navexone.com/content/dotNet/documents/?docid=315&public=trueI can't say. I was only an interviewer and was not a member of the admissions committee. I forwarded my forms to the admissions committee and that's the last I ever heard.
Our tech package includes a MacBook Pro, 2TB external drive, ethernet cable & adapter, and a USB-C hub included in the first semester's fees! This year we got the 2020 M1 MacBook Pro, 16GB RAM, 512 GB SSD, since we started just after the M2 MBP came out, but I wouldn't be surprised if y'all got the M2 for next yearDoes anyone recall if TCOM provides students with a laptop or ipad?
I probably should've condensed my last two replies all into one mega-reply, but I didn't get anything in the mail after acceptance. I was accepted off WL though, so I'm not sure if that makes a difference.Do they send any acceptance letters or package in the mail?
So we technically don't have to "pay" for the laptop bundle since it's included in the first semester fees?Our tech package includes a MacBook Pro, 2TB external drive, ethernet cable & adapter, and a USB-C hub included in the first semester's fees!

Everyone has to use the school-provided laptop "so nobody has a hardware performance advantage over anyone else during exams", is what I'm told by IT, but it's still yours to keep after you graduate!
Yep! Since it's in fees, it's considered part of your total cost of attendance that gets send to the DOE/FAFSA for financial aid purposes. The Cost of Attendance breakdown on the website isn't entirely accurate, it just takes the total fees for the year and divides it evenly into both semesters. My fees for the F22 semester were ~$5,600 mostly because of the technology package, while my S23 fees are a lot lower at ~$1,300.So we technically don't have to "pay" for the laptop bundle since it's included in the first semester fees?
Okay awesome, and I just noticed it is neatly laid out on their website. Side note: I am in love with TX in-state tuition. It's just so much more affordable.Yep!

Not sure if it's published anywhere, but the stats are similar from what we were told on interview day except for the fact that they mentioned they're only interviewing ~660 this year (less than previous years) and that their average MCAT score last year was a 508.Anybody know where to look up UNT-HSC TCOM's most recent admissions statistics from the last admissions cycle, 2021-2022? The only latest ones the TCOM website released was from 2019.

Good luck!II this morning!!! So excited and nervous because this is my top choice!
Was what you were told on interview day similar to 2018 and 2019's admissions data featured on their website?Not sure if it's published anywhere, but the stats are similar from what we were told on interview day except for the fact that they mentioned they're only interviewing ~660 this year (less than previous years) and that their average MCAT score last year was a 508.
Dang, 1/10 is the last day of interviews available for UNT-HSC TCOM? Does that mean after 1/10, it's over for those who didn't already get an II at this point in the cycle? UNT pretty much has exhausted all its interview spots?II received around noon! Only one date available on 1/10. Was complete late July/early august Idr
Although this could be the case, it could also be that they are only opening up interview days one at a time as they send out IIs.Dang, 1/10 is the last day of interviews available for UNT-HSC TCOM?

I agree that they mightāve sent spots one at a time because I there was only one spot for me to sign upDang, 1/10 is the last day of interviews available for UNT-HSC TCOM?

I did the same thing and didnāt get a reply.I have a friend applying who interviewed in late September and sent a thank you letter to the UNTHSC Admissions email address ~4 days later. She received no reply and was wondering if she should send something again as this is her top choice.
Is sending a thank you letter recommended? I always hear mixed things on this lolI did the same thing and didnāt get a reply.
they will file it but usually not reply to it. Sending another one is too much and you don't need to ask them if they got itI have a friend applying who interviewed in late September and sent a thank you letter to the UNTHSC Admissions email address ~4 days later.

I donāt see why it wouldnāt be recommended. I always saw it as being polite and professional š¤·š¼āāļøIs sending a thank you letter recommended? I always hear mixed things on this lol
I believe its just email and portal updateDoes TCOM mail any letters or anything after you get accepted?
why is that?12 more days for pre matches. Although, I do not anticipate them sending anymore out
why is that?
Lol it's a DO school. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think any DOs across the country match plastics except for 1-2 a year (IF THAT). Now you could do gen surg then do a fellowship. Also the category on their list only includes 4 years, not every year prior to that or even last year.Does anyone know why thereās no plastic surgery category in the residency match list? Does that mean no one matched into plastic from this school, ever??
Theyāve had derm and ophto and neuroLol it's a DO school. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think any DOs across the country match plastics except for 1-2 a year (IF THAT).

Plastics has an extreme bias towards DOs from my understanding. Regardless, match lists tend to be reflective of the class's goals rather than student success. More likely than not students at TCOM just simply don't pursue plastics for various reasons.Theyāve had derm and ophto and neuro
This group will certainly disagreeTo me surgery as a field does not necessarily reflect osteopathic medicine.
I am not disagreeing but rather trying to validate why plastic surgery might not exist.This group will certainly disagree: Overview
If they are done with interviews this cycle, why haven't the remaining applicants who haven't heard anything back since submitting secondaries been notified of a rejection? I submitted a secondary to UNT-HSC TCOM and haven't heard anything back.TCOM is done with interviews for this cycle according to office of admissions
