definitely not as many as you think lol- our premed org (amsa) has like 80 members and the pre-health association has 110. I know not all premeds are involved but I'd say 200-300 premeds in the school TOTAL.
There are only 60 seats though?
Yeah that makes more sense, it would be more correct to say they have that total premeds rather than applicants. I only based the numbers off my own undergrad with a similar size (smaller actually than UT Tyler). I guess the point I was trying to make is there are plenty of students at ut tyler to fill the class.
I personally don’t, it was just a guesstimate, but I probably exaggerated it. Still, the point is there are plenty of premed students at UT Tyler that could fill the class if they so chose do to do with only students from East texas.
Yes it will start with 40
But there are also people like you who fit the roots part of the mission who would be applying.
totally agree, I have a feeling most of the class will have ETX linkages and many from UTT. UTT, however, does have a lot of JAMP, and JAMP won't send to UTT this year.
Good luck.
Yeah there’s also that to think about. All we can do at this point is wait and see!
it's not allowed! so they can't apply.
Did you fill out the pre-requisite course section already ? The tab for the secondary essays submission doesn't appear until you've finished that (or at least that's how it was in my case).
When was your application transmitted?
I think I did but let me check it : O
Did you fill in the paper thing to add Tyler to your medical schools? Like on your TMDSAS application, is Tyler a part of your medical schools?
heads up, I filled out the paper thing and it wasn't adding to my school list. So I straight up just used the TMDSAS contact tool and told them, and they transmitted it within a day, and I had the secondary the day after that. Hope this helps!
yep it is
I think their screening for a secondary is 492/3.0 in the last 30 hours of BCMP. You should receive a secondary from them if you have these stats.
Have you watched this video with an interview with the dean? He talks about the region in the first part. Don't quote him back to himself in your essay though! #79
Thanks! Upon watching that video, it looks like they reaaally want people with a connection to east texas. I have never even been to the area and know very little about it...is it even worth applying? this secondary is very high effort so I want to make sure its worth it lol
I’ve never been to East Texas in my life but I still applied. I have a pretty primary-care focused app though.
Best of luck. This does look like it will be one of the strongest mission-oriented schools in TX
Yeah, I’m truly not expecting much but I’ll sell myself as best I can.
The dean said they expect to have students from all over. They also talk about how you don’t need to necessarily be from East Texas to align with their mission. Just show an effort you learned about the community and have your app shows that you wish to practice primary care and/or in a rural setting and that will make them take a hard look at your app. Just my two cents!
I emailed them a few times through out the cycle and they get back pretty fast like takes them at most like a day or two.
Depends on if it's something like English vs Biology imo
That's enough!
they stated that they look at all quartiles of casper
In a first year for a new school we have no way to predict a date for their application cycle events, but I'm sure someone will announce it on here as soon as it happens
In the video with TMDSAS, they stated that they plan to start interviews in September. With that said, we can expect interview invites to be sent later this month or early September.
