I thought you could go back and forth between the 3 schools (suggested we narrow down to 3 on April 15th) until April 30th at which point you commit to one and remain on waitlists for others..by the way, for Texas schools do we follow this same guideline and just pretend they are in the tool?
No Texan should have 3 TMDSAS schools right now.
Sure, but it will probably happen closer to the end of April when people holding several schools have to drop one for AMCAS traffic deadlines.
Same- April/May is when most of it happens
and to the lovely people that have already done this THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE <3
Congrats man! So happy for ya!
Thank you!! I appreciate it a ton!
you don't have to plan to enroll until 30 april, but by that date you MUST choose a school. you can stay on waitlists if you only plan to enroll. commit to enroll has various deadlines i think, depending on the school, but by doing commit to enroll you DO lose your waitlist spots.
What is plan to enroll and commit to enroll?
Those are things for AMCAS applicants and if you’re TX only don’t worry about it
Sometimes a school will set deadlines that differ from or are earlier than the national PTE and CTE AMCAS deadlines.
Where are you going? :O
They love A&M and some non Texas schools. Them non Tex schools are no good though.
Loyal Texan through and through, @texasvandy 🤠They love A&M and some non Texas schools. Them non Tex schools are no good though.
Most likely Penn State. Closer to home, has home programs, great alumni network, huge emphasis on humanities with bodes well with my writing background, smaller class size, etc…
Does A&M provide campus designation before enrollment?
Should be sometime next week
Isnt there a huge tuition difference for Penn State? I thought instate was 50k.
It would cost me an extra $25K per year but I think it's worth it, especially because I'm extremely serious about public service so there is a high likelihood I could get my loans forgiven after 10 years of min payments starting my first paycheck in residency
so update I called and was told I do have withdraw
Is this for a Texas school? You shouldn't have to withdraw from any waitlisted schools in TMDSAS with an acceptance yet? Does UTMB policy supersede TMDSAS?so update I called and was told I do have withdraw
I have seen the AMCAS schools do this at times & set an earlier commit date.
Was the April 15th deadline in your offer letter as well? The explanation I was given is that since utmb starts earlier than others, they want to have their class finalized early.
I don’t expect any big TMDSAS WL action until after April 30
What happens is that people are required to go down to 3 schools (primarily OOS since Texas residents are down to 1 in Texas already) and so some are paring down their Texas admissions. It is upto the schools to decide whether they admit other OOS when they lose some or admit IS for those openings since OOS admissions are carefully measured (try to hold to 10% or less) sforo when they lose one, it is an actual opening for the school.
Yep, because people are procrastinators and will put off their decisions until the April 30 date.
Yes, all Texas MD schools are ranked
Does anyone know if UTMB reveals your spot on the WL?
None of the Texas schools will tell you "what number you are" in the WL.
Yes!
This is a bit confusing
You never hold two admissions in Texas IS past match. You are accepting your waitlist offer with the expectation that you are turning down the admission you are holding. You are allowed to turn down the waitlist offer and keep what you have.
