Does anyone know how frequent the pre-match waves for Tech are? Looks like the only sent out pre-matches for Aug interviews today.

oof, I'll expect the worst
Has anyone from 9/27 heard back?
Don't forget, @ExcellentCycle2425 and @interestingnickname that pre-matches are only a small portion of acceptances and if you have had an interview here, you can still get in on Match Day
They did mention in the information session that they're not pre-match heavy, but with no other IIs at this point in the cycle, a pre-match would be reassuring.

Hmm I'm not sure what prematches mean to be honest. I am OOS and interviewed 9/20, so if they sent out 9/20 acceptances already, I might have gotten an WL or R
More likely they just haven’t decided on you yet.
Pre-matches apply to Texans only and OOS applicants could hear back any time after Oct 15.
Wishing you luck
Is this first or second round of prematches?

first round
Do you know how many rounds they send out?

First round is expected to cover several months of interviewees while those come after are mainly considering the delta with those previously not offered a prematch. Could be once a month.

I take my bricklaying with me. Each brick is a cell, the cement its tight junctions. I've always wanted to help people put up walls, to shelter them from the harshness of nature and disease. I change, and yet I am the same.
Prematcharoonie, interviewed 8/14 LM 83 🥰 Thought the email was just some newsletter or something cause it just said We Have Some Good News!
Boo yeah!
Boo yeah!
That's Dr. Deadrok! Congratulations!
I am sure they are expecting you to show up in Lubbock. They need to pad their averages with an 83. 🙂

Congrats!
According to MSAR:
"Letters of intent, interest or update are accepted, they must be sent to [email protected] in pdf format, but will not be made an official part of an application after the supporting documents deadline. This deadline is typically two weeks after the primary TMDSAS application closes."

They'll send you an email of the agenda a few days before your interview.
I had a presentation first and then two open-file traditional interviews (1 faculty and 1 med student), 20 min each

Love your name haha and congrats!
Honestly, they haven't been able to send interviews out for a month. I like to THINK there's a very high pile of theoretical accumulated interviews that they're working to distribute over the next month to "compensate," so keep holding your breath!!
You’re fine

After interviews, can we send emails to our interviews directly or do we need to send them as pdfs to somadm? Also, would it be too late to send thank you letters on Monday after interviewing the previous wednesday?
In the info session before my interview, they told us to email our notes to admissions, who can forward them to interviewers.
Even if the note doesn't impact your decision, I think it's a common courtesy to send thank-you notes, so not too late. Idek if mine reached them because I sent mine to somadm right when their system crashed🤣

Very excited to have received a pre-match! Just to make sure, as for the $100 non-refundable deposit, is this also due by the 2-week deadline? Do I have to pay this now even if I am not sure about attending? Probably should've clarified this earlier but thought that this was due after matching.
Verify this with the school
edited to correct that the deposit is due within 2 weeks of the offer

It is indeed due by the 2-week deadline. They e-mailed me saying that they would rescind their offer by EOD if I didn't pay the fee
