It's realistic, but I sure hope you're wrong lol. Either way, we all find out for sure on 3/3

10 spots seems awfully high to be remaining. I’m also leaning towards the fact we’ll have to wait till March at this point

That's crazy to me since we were told ~20 prematches were filled by mid December. Do you know someone directly on admissions?

I emailed UT Tyler admissions last week about if they're giving out 40 pre-matches and if the TMDSAS deadline is 1/31 and this is what they said:
Good afternoon,
TMDSAS has extended the pre-match deadline to February 16. The Admissions Committee will have reviewed all candidates who interviewed by this point.
We can pre-match up to 40 students, but the Admissions Committee doesn't have a set number of offers they plan to extend. It all depends on who they feel absolutely confident about. If there are spots left at the end of pre-matches, those will just be additional spots open for Match Day. Students can also accept multiple pre-match offers, so someone we extend an offer to might decide to attend a different institution, opening up additional spots.
All the best,

Now that makes more sense why there's still 12 spots then haha. It just didn't make sense they would dump the rest all on one day

Thank you for the update!
Is this just for UTT?

Honestly I was having difficulty finding a web page where TMDSAS stated explicitly that prematch ends in January. Individual schools had their own deadlines, but I could never find anything that was a hard and fast rule (other than what's on these threads).
It’s on the TMDSAS guide.
This is the first I’ve heard of an extension so I can’t confirm or deny right now

Then that makes sense. I only checked the TMDSAS website and calendar

Also they just sent me an email, and I got super excited.... turns out it was just an interview survey form 😢
me too i almost threw up fr
SAME. Interesting how they want it completed before the extended pre-match deadline though 🤔
I got it too. That was cruel. 🤣
Idk why they sent a second one- I did a survey a few days after my interview also
I pulled over on the road when I got the email/survey. I first thought it was a rejection.

Both people were told that they did in fact extend it by admissions directly, so no reason not to trust them
I also got the same email as them yesterday saying it was extended

The email they sent just now scared me.
The virtual Q&A session?
It's going to be packed.

Hello, everyone! I've gone through this forum and, like most of you, am eagerly waiting for what would be some of the best news of my life. I'm a little embarrassed to ask, but I cannot for the life of me find this information anywhere: can someone explain or point me to a forum that explains the abbreviations/code y'all use? For instance, I've put together that "II" means "interview" but I don't know why.
II = Interview invite, A = acceptance.
Are there any specifics that you're curious about?
II we use to stand for Interview Invitation.
IA can mean Interviews Attended, but in other contexts means Institutional Action 😵
Don't worry, you'll catch on.
Check these threads too:

Thanks! I've also seen a lot of small print on individual posts like "LizzyM Score" and such. I put together that these are personal pieces of information folks are advertising.
Ah, yes those "small print things" under a member's posts list their grades, Mcat, and number of interviews and such.
It can save a lot of posts and questions because when someone announces they got an interview, 5 people will ask "what are your stats?"

That makes sense. And thanks for forwarding those threads - I'll keep an eye on them.

Some acceptances may come following match day as people decline their acceptance. However, in my opinion I wouldn't rely on that and would just assume 3/3 is final
While you wait to hear:
Rank all the schools that interviewed you on your TMDSAS portal before February 17.
Please watch the TMDSAS match explanation video and read the FAQS on the TMDSAS guide
The Republic of Texas XLI: You'll Never Break A Horse if You Stay Sittin' on the Fence
Forgive me if this question doesn’t make sense to you. I am prematched to a Texas school currently and accepted the offer. Is it secure to put this school on the third rank on my school list for Match day? I am happy and satisfied with this school but I still want to give a try at UTSW and...

Hi, so I was accepted on 1/25 with a 12/13 interview. I've been creeping on this thread since I turned in my secondary... lol so I know there's a groupme for accepted students! May I have in?👀
p.s. I don't remember my science GPA but I graduated 3.59 over all four years of undergrad here in East Texas. I had a good GPA trend upwards my junior and senior year. Highest MCAT 500. I've worked as a scribe in ETX for almost 2 years now.
A fellow applicant reminded me once so I'll restate it: Remember you can't standardize a person! I think my stats and my story speak to that!
