Has anyone who pre matched last week received the email to create the SHSU account/castle branch account? It says 5-10 days for the email to be generated but I still haven't received it.

Thanks

Pre-matched last month, but no emails yet. I spoke to someone at admissions and they essentially said that things will roll out as they roll out. Don’t worry about not having anything until match day.

We are in a super fortunate position. Enjoy it! Plenty of time to correct any technical issues or call/email people if necessary.

Edit: as in, don’t worry about them not sending any of those administrative emails until after match day

Other than transcripts, it should be fine to send and fill everything out after match day right

Wait, if TMDSAS hasnt approved your transcript and its been 20 business days what happens next? Aren't they due in 1 month from the day you got the email? How do I even check if TMDSAS approved my transcript

TMDSAS also has not approved one of my transcripts, and it has been around 20 business days.

look on your TMDSAS portal for messages and enquire if it has been more than 4 weeks
 
Where do I see if the transcript has been approved and uploaded on my TDMSAS page?
 
Hi everyone! Received an IS II today. Does anyone know how high the post II acceptance rate is for this school. I would love to attend here as an in-state school :). Currently have an acceptance at a school out of state and need to know if I should just eat the $1500 deposit that is due by December 14th... :(

Unfortunately I think you will need to pay that deposit :( I know it sucks but the potential of not matching is much more devastating than losing the $1500.

Wait until the lost possible day to pay but ultimately most of us Texas folks will be waiting till match day.

congrats on the OOS Acceptance and the recent II!

Did it ever get approved? I sent my undergrad's transcript and its been like a week so far, not approved yet. Not sure what the timeline is.

Nope, I will reach out again cause it has been over 1 month since I sent it.
 
Just sent another message to TMDSAS, and got an email right now that my transcript has been marked as received.

Received II invite today as well. I can't sign up for 12/1, because I already have another interview that day. Per the email, Additional dates will open throughout the cycle. Continue to check AMP if the dates listed do not work with your schedule. How often should I be checking for other dates to open up since there is no other date available? Should I just go ahead and email admissions?

Yes email admissions! I don’t believe any additional dates will be added other than the ones posted. If you were invited earlier you’d just see certain dates “blocked off”in which they meant “wait until we open those up.

I think you should email the admissions of the other school if possible!

Thanks, they will have upcoming openings for the 1/19 interview date
 
This time last year they were sending out more pre-matches. We will see though

Well, still have not heard anything :cryi::cryi:
I wonder why it is taking them longer this year.

We never really know, but Im sure a lot of schools are relatively conservative with prematches! SHSU will have a ton of matches and WL movement :) I’m sure some people have prematched that haven’t made it to SDN yet too
 
Did anyone you got accepted last year need to do the "Learning Tracker" from CastleBranch? Medical OSHA and a HIPAA course is included there. The acceptance page doesn't mention anything about it.

Yea on the portal it says to disregard the other requirements on castle branch as they do not currently apply. What @OffTheLand said, I think we just wait until they send out more info.

Has anyone who interviewed 12/1 heard anything? Have any OOS students who interviewed in the last few months heard when we will find out about the results of our interview since we can not participate in match day?

I don’t think we’ve seen an acceptance since sometime in November

I think you will hear a result around Match Day even though you are OOS.
They could surprise me with a few offers in January though, let's see what happens

Thanks..
it is unfortunate that I will likely have to pay a 2000$ deposit somewhere else before hearing a decision.

If you prefer SHSU over the school with an upcoming deposit, you could email SHSU and ask if there is any chance you will hear news before that date.
Best case scenario: you have an acceptance, congratulations!
Worst case scenario: You pay the deposit but get into SHSU later. Is that deposit so much that it cancels out the lower price you would pay to attend SHSU? No? Then you still win.
