Surprising it took this long for them to call you.

Use all the free resources available to you from SDN: articles, guides, expert advising, forums discussions, and school research.
They are very clear, actually, in telling you that the campus assignment will not be made until after acceptance.
You may indicate your preference but are not guaranteed to get it.
How much more up front and transparent can they be?
Go & clutch your pearls somewhere else if you don't like it

80 to 20 lottery
Exactly. If it were completely random you have an 80% chance of being assigned to Houston.
a) you get to mark your preference
b) if people later leave their Baylor spot to go to Big City East Coast med school, Houston spaces may open up.
I thought it was a pure random lottery too but the verbiage from the admissions committee and the medical students on the interview day is that they try to make both student populations varied and diverse, which would mean they are probably shooting for an approximate 50/50 male female split and making not 'every houston student being super surgery gunnery and every temple student being super rural medicine focused' (paraphrasing their words).

any advice on when to send a letter of intent for this school (im sure this is my top choice!) and the general format of doing so?
Sooo uhhh. I just realized I made an error in my Baylor secondary. Instead of checking two additional areas of interest, I only checked one. I meant to check clinical research and community health. However, I only checked clinical research for some reason but wrote about wanting to engage in research as well community health. Should I email the admission committee about this error or just leave it as is.
The directions are to choose "up to 2 areas" so I think it's best to just leave it as you sent it.
+1 IS II
not to neurotic-post but should I start getting worried 🙁 LM 82 submitted late june... I did get an email mid august about not meeting their prereqs bc i forgot to include one class on my SP25 tmdsas coursework but they let me correct it
Do not worry, I also got an email mid august about not meeting pre-reqs (due to Dual Credit), just had to let them know I plan on taking!

IS II, received 9/24. Complete 8/8. LM 84
Congrats. Did you get all 4 IIs today or posting them all now?
Does anyone else see a "web interview" tab on the AMP page? Is the agreement something we need to sign?

Yes, you need to sign the agreement. Once you do so, you'll be able to see the names and times of your interviewers!
All top schools. Did you apply late or something that they all showed up at once?

Applied mid-August and late-July for OOS IIs, and early-August for IS IIs. Turned in quite a few secondaries closer to, or past, Labor Day unfortunately 🙁
Hey it all worked out
Oh gotcha, thanks!
You must have an excellent resume to have gotten interviews at pretty much all reach schools right after applying despite late apps.
Eh, 84 on LM is one less than 85. Might as well hang it up and withdraw if you can't be perfect (I am actively afraid of this person)

If sending thank you emails, they said to send them to a specific admissions email, but should I write both notes to my interviewers in one email or send 2 emails with the notes separate? Not sure what the proper etiquette is here lol and idk if they just forward my email to the interviewer or what

I usually send two separate emails, one for each interviewer to the admissions office and ask them to forward it to the specific person. It makes it easier for the admissions team because they can just click forward on each email.
OOS II today! LM 74 Complete 7/28. Texas Undergrad
As an OOS applicant, does anyone know when we can get accepted? Do they offer acceptances earlier than the TMDSAS match for OOS? If so, how early?

We can be accepted October 15 onward is what I heard from southwestern.
Baylor in the past has not admitted anyone before November.
One of the deans of admissions said it was rolling starting from mid October for OOS, although yeah historically only starting in December it seems

Complete date?

IS II! complete 6/25, literally sent an update letter this morning LOL. What a nice surprise!
forums.studentdoctor.net
The first A offered last year to anyone was on Nov 13 and that has been the earliest Baylor has accepted anyone. Their standard practice until last year has been to start calling people just around thanksgiving. They had not deviated much from that even after moving to tmdsas.
May be they will be different this year if they mentioned mid october.
No, in my interview they said they don't Prematch often and If they do it will be later, around thanksgiving2023-2024 Baylor

That was before they interviewed me. They’ll have a change of heart.

Baylor is one of the few schools I did not apply to as I knew it was a reach (LM: 70). However, I can't get over the what if thoughts that are circling my head. Realistically, would it be worth adding them and completing their secondary this late in the cycle?
