I am absolutely appalled by Baylor's lack of transparency on campus selection, especially considering the disparity in opportunities between campuses and the way TMDSAS holds in-state applicants hostage. Is no one else concerned about this?

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.

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!
 
What is the interview day schedule like? Just wondering how long it will take so I can plan around classes and other commitments
 
Does anyone else see a "web interview" tab on the AMP page? Is the agreement something we need to sign?

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 🙁

You must have an excellent resume to have gotten interviews at pretty much all reach schools right after applying despite late apps.
 
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.
 
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?

2023-2024 Baylor

Oh my God I just got an IS II!!!!! LM 70!!!
forums.studentdoctor.net 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 thanksgiving
 
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?
