Will we be impacted negatively if we are unable to visit campus in person? I received their email invite to tour but I am unsure if I can make it

why not? Until you have an offer of admission, do all you can to show interest. If it conflicts with an exam you can't get out of, that would be a good reason.

II received today, complete 7/2

During the virtual interview they mentioned that they make their decision almost immediately after your interview. I don’t think that touring the school weeks after would effect their decision but it might have an impact on yours!

Wait, they mentioned this?

Hey y'all! Current Foster SOM student. Feel free to ask me any questions about the school!

I know some fourth years that do interviews and from what I remember them saying was that you are ranked same day of interview.

I checked last year’s discussion and PLFSOM sent out some prematches on the second-third day after the period opened.

No same, I'm just glad I have a packed day so I can stop thinking about this.

I wasn't, but now I am.... Had my interview last week and feel like I killed some of the questions, but rambled too much and didn't make sense for others. This is my only Texas interview thus far so really hoping for a pre-match.

I love how they took the time to write personalized parts of the email with details from my application. It means a lot.

Give them a chance to update their portal over the next day or two and try again

I read that "Additional documents and/or updates must be submitted through the TMDSAS" in the sentence before that. But TMDSAS doesn't have an update system, right?

Thanks for the help btw!

Yeah, TMDSAS doesn't really have an update system like that.

TMDSAS allows updates of a limited number of things, like contact info, new grades for applicants still in college, and new MCAT scores. There is no option for updating essays, adding letters or resumes etc.

Congrats on your prematch! I haven’t been able to submit the payment because there’s no link shown. I emailed them about it but haven’t received a response. Good thing it’s not due until May like @texasvandy mentions

Hi guys! I interview here next week and scrolling through this thread I see people mentioning that this is an MMI format interview. However, I do not see any mentioning of MMI in any of my emails from PLFSOM or in my portal. Can someone who has already interviewed confirm that its MMI? Maybe I'm just blind and am reading over the MMI part lol. Also any interview tips for this school is much appreciated! Congrats to all of you that pre-matched! 😊

It’s MMI! My biggest tip is to use the time before the response to read the question and form a rough outline of how you want to respond to it. Also show up a few minutes early to the MMI. Best of luck!

Thank you!!!

Another tip, is remember to keep your phone handy. Sometimes issues can arise like a glitch with the window of one of your interviewers not opening after a couple of minutes. In this case they will probably reschedule that particular interview at the end of your series. Stay calm and in communication with the admissions team and everything will get sorted out fine. Congrats on your II!
