Does anyone know if TCU is planning on increasing class size, if not this year in the next few years? I cannot remember if the admissions team mentioned anything during my interview, but with the new building I was wondering if there were plans to expand the class in the future or if they like the current flow with a smaller cohort.
I believe it will remain the same

There are no plans to increase the class size and we anticipate the cohorts remaining at 60 students per class.

OOS Pre-II R just now, complete mid-late September
Good luck to all, whatever stage you are in. One question: Does anyone know the number of individuals who have been offered admission from the alternate/waitlist in a typical previous year? TCU is a top choice. (Also, my understanding from the communication on alternate list status is that, at this point, the admissions committee does not expect, or welcome, further information. Instead, those of us on the alternate list should simply wait. Any confirmation or suggestions on that issue welcome! Again, good luck to all!)
The Admissions Committee welcomes additional information to review with your file for consideration from the alternate list (e.g., update letter, letter of intent/interest, etc.). Additionally, while we cannot give specific details regarding the number of individuals that we expect to offer admission to from the alternate list, many of our previous cycle matriculants have been from the alternate list and we do not suspect that this year will be vastly different.
Thank you. I submitted a letter of intent earlier with updates. I will submit a further update when additional relevant information is available this spring.
Does the admissions committee continuously look at the alternate list? Has anyone been taken off of it recently?
Thank you for your question. Yes, the admission committee will continue to review files and offers will be made on a rolling basis up until matriculation in early July.

TCU med is relatively new right? This is one of their first graduating classes? My best guess is that the people that a few may not have matched but the majority of it can be explained by people taking a 5th year for research/advanced degrees to boost their resumes for competitive specialities. Over time this will even out with 5th years from the class before graduating with the class but since this is a new school there is not a consistent pool of 5th years. Does that make sense?

are you using the 2024 data?
From my math it adds to 59.
Also I don’t see plastics or Derm on that spreadsheet, but they had matches there this year.
The Burnett School of Medicine at TCU recently matched the Class of 2024. This is our second graduating cohort.
The best resource to see where/which specialties our students matched is here.
There are a variety of reasons students choose to not enter the match process or are not listed. Some reasons include research years, military service, medical reasons, and personal decisions to not publish.
We advise prospective students to review our curriculum, as it will prepare students for all specialties.
We wish you the best on your journey into medicine.

Thank you for sharing! Such an impressive list! Congratulations to the students! Praying to be accepted off of the waitlist and one join their ranks! 🙏🏻
very good match list for a 2nd batch.

Hi y'all! Current med student at TCU here. Just wanted to encourage the new class to make a groupme, if there isn't one already. We had one early on and it really helped bring our class together, even before starting orientation! The link to ours was posted by an incoming student in the facebook page and our class still uses ours to this day
I think someone set up a group back in December
Declined my spot this evening, best of luck to everyone on the WL!!

are you a newly admitted student? when did you hear?
Hi, wysdoc! I am an incoming M1 here and I was admitted in November 2023. We deleted the old GroupMe posted in the thread due to a bot infestation. I figured I’d post the new link for folks looking to join everyone else in the new GroupMe.
I hope the new one will survive the bots-
Sometimes those GroupMe links posted on a public board, even on SDN, will be invaded.
A link sent by DM is better
Noted and post wording has been changed. Fingers crossed this one survives 🤞. Thanks for the heads up!!
