Think you're gonna switch to UTMB?

If you are really interested, you could still send something. Be honest in your email about your reasons for interest in UTMB, and don't complain or mention that it was in your junk mail 😳
Hey, if you don't mind me asking, what email was that? I didn't receive it and I'm on the WL
Hey I already sent a letter but it doesnt seem to be helping. What do you think about going to UTMB in person and speak with the members of the admission committee to show my interest ? Will this be received negatively?
One LOI is enough and if they still have spaces to fill from a WL that's when they will take a look at those.
Since you have no TMDSAS acceptances you can still be on their WL.
I'm not a fan of impassioned road trips...
They are asking for a letter of intent. TX schools don’t bank on ties to Texas but on ability and mission fit. So don’t throw around no bull in your letter.
I also just found this email in my junk mail... from april 27th. UTMB was my top choice, but I already have an acceptance from TAMU. Since it's past May 15th, I guess there's no point in responding to the email right?
Yeah, sorry no more chance to swap TMDSAS schools now
Hi all, first things first I want to thank wysdoc for all their help on these Texan MS threads. They've been extremely helpful and I actually created a SDN account today just to talk here.
I am currently on UTMB's waitlist IS with no other TMDSAS offers. I understand the rule about WL offers after May 15th, but I am curious as to how common it is for students to matriculate through this process? After yesterday my optimism has dropped dramatically and I am frantically considering sending in a LOI. I did not receive that email others are talking about regarding letters. Yes, I checked my junk mail thoroughly.
Thanks in advance!

Welcome to SDN and yes, there will still be WL offers between now and the end of June, when they usually wrap up for Texas.
If you want to follow the adds and drops from the TMDSAS schools go here: #861 where we started listing WL offers the first week of March.
UTMB seems to be filling the spaces one by one when someone leaves for another school, and there will probably be more offers before we're all done.
In general, a medical school may not mail out the same form letter to every applicant.
In this case they may have mailed it only to some people on the WL, by whatever stratification method they use.
Does the score include interviews as well? (Probably a dumb question 😭)

Are we done with movement? 🙁
Only folks who can get offers right now are 1) OOS, and 2) IS with no other A’s. Very little OOS movement with UTMB thus far.
Howdy folks. I recently learned that MSAR apparently reports when the first and last acceptances were sent out for each school. If this is true, can someone subscribed to MSAR tell us when UTMB extended its final acceptance last year, please?
It says July 1, and I observed last year that they were wrapped up in mid June.
