It seems to be listed under both 3 and 4. 3 says community service and 4 says just service. I assume the one under 4 they are looking at some value metric since they are trying to measure empathy, humanism and service and also interview.
I think people from adjacent counties might get like 12.5 points? Who knows this is just pure conjecture, but I agree with you it seems very difficult for people outside the region to make up points.
Good point. I went to school in an adjacent county but i don’t live there, so i’ll probably get some points but not many.
Yeah that’s what I’m thinking. The only other people I met outside ETX were very close to ETX
I still can't rank them
I think that kinda may be the point? They're focusing on ETX, underserved, URM students. If the point based system is true it makes sense that someone who doesn't meet that criteria will have to compensate in other areas of their app
I so wish they'd send out early prematches. I know they won't, but my anxiety is killing me
Idk why but this made me more nervous🤣
ooo i’m going to the afternoon panel so i’ll see if they say the same
THIS. lol. UTT is my top choice and the only school I have interviewed at that is waiting until December. The wait may kill me haha.
I take that as we are not hearing back early 🙁
They did tell me that they will still not be informing us until december!
Everyone is interviewing thru January. The fact that they are announcing prematch in December does not make it a full class since they would probably hold some spots for the match.
Yep, and I doubt that EVERYONE who interviewed will find out in December. The Sept/Oct dates may hear back first, then the later dates. This isn't per them, just speculation!!
People are reading prematch as if the class is full. UTT is following the same process as other schools announcing some admissions in December since they are unable to do them in October like most other schools. Baylor will probably towards the end of November too but none of the schools announcing prematches will stop their interview schedule saying they are full and do not need to interview anymore.
See you next fall .
right back in the 2023-2024 thread 😉 did you ever get your secondary??
Possible. It is a good thing if people who have no intention of going to UTT if they get in elsewhere give opportunity to others who are seriously interested.
Interesting. Sounds like they have filled November and December already.
yes the support is for tuition. Living expenses will be your responsibility
consider it as $80,000+ in free money over 4 years.
yes but they said they plan on having some scholarships to cover cost of living
Would be surprised if UTT ever reaches 25k in tuition since it would be higher than most schools in Texas outside of EnMed.The official announcement on UT Tyler’s website from last year claims ~$25,000/year, so closer to $100,000 in free money lol
where did they say that?
They say they are trying to get donations to cover at least for some but don't count on it, so far what they have is to cover tuition for classes 1 and 2.
i am so unwell
wow, that is cheap. In Houston each of you will be spending 1k for rent even for most shared condos or homes.
South Tyler is safer tho ?
If you are referring to crime, Tyler does not really have much of it, but yes South Tyler is the safer but also more expensive area to live. The area that the UTTSOM campus is at though is like, past north tyler? like, nothing happens out there because there is nothing out there
Yes they are. Don’t know if it’ll help prior to any decisions being made.
Yeah the people I talked with on interview day say most people don't live near the health science center. As you said, there isn't very much there.
