Do y’all think they are done giving out prematches? Considering the fact the Q&A is on Wednesday.

I'm not admins nor do I know anyone on admins, but I would say so based on the fact that someone reported receiving a call. Again, take what I say with a grain of salt as I am just as in the unknown as you. Here's the post:

I'd graciously accept being wrong!
 
I didn't register because I knew I wouldn't be able to make it. If someone could summarize any key points after I would really appreciate it!
 
I joined for 15 minutes and they answered my question...had to get back to work.
 
I am a little confused about what they said about how they take letters of intent into consideration. Did anyone else understand what they said?
 
Did y’all find the info session insightful? I plan on listening to it when I get home. Hopefully they send it today
 
Dr. Abrams said they absolutely take it into consideration but then Dr. Willis jumped in and said they do a blind application review where extra application documents that are sent in are not considered to keep everything equitable?
Maybe it's multiple review processes? Initial review blind, secondary review could include supplemental materials? Or a LOI could bring an app back into review after initial review?
 
I thought it was helpful if you get admitted bc it was all about the program, housing, curriculum, etc.
Awesome I’ll definitely wanna watch it before Friday then, thank you.

And it does sound like Dr. Willis is saying that a LOI does not affect admissions decisions. Tbh, I think that’s how it works at most schools.

Maybe the don’t take it into consideration during the initial review period for pre-matches but it is considered for those on the waitlist. I was confused too, but I think it carries very little weight if at all especially before Match Day.

That's interesting. I wonder why they accept them then if they don't affect anything

Most schools accept them simply to appease neurotic premeds who would send them anyways. I obviously don’t know the extent to which they matter. It seems there was conflicting information.
 
On the status page should it say interviewed or transmitted to school?
Look on the tab called “pending actions” on your TMDSAS portal to find your rank list.
Has to be submitted today or tomorrow!
