not trying to sound judgy but do ppl rlly turn down baylor bc of campus assignment?
There are three sets of people who can turn down Baylor bc of campus.
genuinely curious, but what are yall looking for in match lists to determine whether a school “matched well”?
imo I think looking at IM match (# of t20s/t30s) and numbers in specialty is the best way
totally agree but it is interesting to think about whether UTSW will move above Baylor in the future, I do think that P/F for Baylor was the right move to attract more students here
The rankings in USNEWS are arbitrary but have never used a match list to add points.
I believe in one of the campus tours, Dr. Vallejo said that spousal reasons (spouse works in Houston, for example) would be a valid reason for campus reassignment if you do get assigned to Temple. So it would be a good idea to contact them and ask about your specific situation
I haven’t heard anything haha
have not, I believe information on it will come out next month according to my friend
Received a merit scholarship specific to the Temple campus!
Are campuses assigned?
yes, they were assigned on March 15th
Surprising not a single person complained here. @MCAThiccy must be doing excellent marketing.
GroupMe has people who aren’t happy don’t worry
Ahaha but at least we don’t have to read the “but that’s not I wanted” comments as much on here
Look at all the impressive places they did match to
Baylor IM isnt all that big deal. UTSW is top 10.
can't go wrong with a t30 IM though - guaranteed to match any fellowship
When students apply they are looking at residency ranking in the field of their choice. Looking at Baylor match list of 18 for IM, UTRGV and Loyola are below Baylor but the rest are above or at worst peers. So most students landed where they wanted to be.
I don't think they've updated the website yet, those changes take a little time. The details we have been given are that the 1 year pre-clinical is pass/fail and core clerkships are pass/fail. Our pre-clinical grades are only "tracked" so that our academic support office can reach out for tutoring and additional support if they feel you are falling behind the rest of the class and those that finish in the top ~15% receive a one-liner on the MSPE that indicates this. Core clerkships are pass/fail to encourage us to learn as a provider and better our clinical skills -- they are still offering the H/HP/P/F for elective rotations and sub-Is I think though (@MCAThiccy have you heard this as well?).
Did you get any notification that you are on the Baylor WL?
No. Nothing appears on my portal, either.
I am sorry but it looks like
Shoot, I thought that OOS students were also automatically placed on a waitlist, albeit one "separate" from Texas residents. So at this point, it's safe to assume no WL email=soft rejection?
Here’s what an applicant who took the time to enquire and share the answer was told:

Thank you for bringing this to my attention!Here’s what an applicant who took the time to enquire and share the answer was told:
2023-2024 Baylor
Does anyone know when scholarships for matched students are dispersed? I was wondering if it was after campus assignment or if those who received them had already gotten their aid offer
Baylor will create their OOS WL after April 30, it seems.
Also, please read the post I linked which says an OOS person could also get an offer of admission before April 30.
I'm IS but I don't have a status on CYMS or the portal. No email either. Did I slip through the cracks or should I just have full faith in the "automatically placed on the waitlist".
I think someone on here a few years ago said the same thing and ended up getting off the WL
