haha but nobody has them yet so you can't possibly be late. I'm sure they will arrive soon
Patience is a virtue, and one I think I'm losing quickly in this process!

Trust me I know. I’m a reapplicant so I’m used to the wait by now. You get used to the silence lol.
I went to the YouTube session that UT Tyler had today. Secondaries are sent selectively and are free. Interviews will be in person starting in September.
Did they mention when secondaries will go out?
They said starting by the end of July
They did their Q&A today!

they'll definitely have a "Why This School" from what I've heard
I'm assuming you have to meet those stats to even be considered for mission fit/secondary invite.
They will post the recording on the THES YouTube channel in a day or two. Mission is improving health access & outcomes for east Texas counties. Mission is on their web page also
The video is already on their YouTube channel.

FYI if you go the YouTube video around minute 17, they literally read off the secondary prompts. In case anyone wants to get a head start

- Why are you interested in applying to UT Tyler SOM? (500 words)
- Describe any experiences or information you have in or about East Texas as it relates to our mission statement. (500 words)
- Please share with the committee what unique skills, experiences, and/or qualities and characteristics, and/or ideas you may have or possess that will help you contribute to the mission of UT Tyler SOM if selected for the class. (500 words)
- Please review the SOM’s values and select the value that most resonates with you. Explain why. (500 words)
- Please share with the committee any additional information that may help us evaluate your candidacy that is not addressed elsewhere in the application. (Optional).
I didn't catch a word count for #5 but I'd assume probably 500 words like the rest.

They screen for a 3.0/492
That email title of "prerequisite issue" scared me. Glad they're keeping us updated on the issue but I thought it was about my coursework.
I fully empathize with the fact that this is their first application cycle, but this drag-and-drop system to verify prerequisites is one of the most unfriendly user experiences I've ever seen. I hope they overhaul it for applicants next cycle somehow, I felt like I was playing a minigame to unlock the rest of the application.

A lot of schools use this same feature. Pretty sure VCU also has it and TCU as well (if I'm not mistaken).
I had no idea that this was so common. Perhaps it's just my pent-up frustration/burnout from secondaries but for some reason, it was weirdly triggering. I don't mean to be rude I just wasn't sure if others shared my opinion.
Probably just going in waves. When was your app transmitted to UT-Tyler?
Secondary received today at 11:50 am!

Still no secondary with what I believed to be solid mission fit (rural focus app). Oof.
in the same boat. I'd imagine they're going down the descending order of mcat gpa combo.

To those receiving secondaries, when were your primary applications transmitted?
OOS/IS? ETX connections?
I don't think you were screened out, they just started sending out secondaries yesterday. Give it some time, especially if you know you meet their MCAT/GPA.
7/5

@wysdoc is there any reason to hesitate to apply to schools like this and UH that are not fully accredited yet (besides the obvious of no students ahead of you, etc.)? Is it reasonable to worry about accreditation falling through or poor residency placements?
I think both schools are well funded and have good planning in place. Tyler has had a teaching hospital for years and other TX med schools have sent students there.
