Does anyone know when the next prematch batch is?

I see that TCOM has a H/P/F grading system for pre-clinicals and clinicals. Could a current student comment on how the grading works in practice, and if it's more of a competitive or a collaborative environment?

Also do the dean recommendations for residencies include any ranking/quartile information besides the H/P/F?

Thanks in advance!
 
Congratulations to all those who pre-matched! I apologize if this has been asked before, but does anyone know what percentage of TCOM's class is filled by pre-match students versus those admitted on match day on Feb 15?

I think the entire class is filled by january 31st; that is what one of my emails said before getting accepted.

Thank you for clarifying. I believe there is one more pre-match round in early Jan and those of us who haven't received the pre-match yet can still remain hopeful before letting fate decide our outcome on TMDSAS match day roulette on Feb 16th.
 
Did anyone get tmdsas email to submit transcripts? I was pre-matched here and was under impression that tmdsas only asks for transcripts this early if there was a prematch offer. Can someone verify?

TMDSAS will ask you to send transcripts to them after you have had an offer of admission.
The school you end up attending will also ask for your final transcript to be sent to them directly from your college, as part of your enrollment tasks later.

Do you have to submit it to both?
 
Has anyone who interviewed in Sep received a pre-match last week? Or should we assume that the Dec pre-match were for Nov interviews only?
 
Wondering how late into the cycle they do interviews? I submitted back in June or July and haven’t heard anything as an OOS. Should I keep hoping or realistically is the time kinda passed?

Typically till early January
 
I think I fumbled the interview : (
I felt okay, but not great or terrible coming out of mine. Now the more that I think about it and pre-match releases keep coming out, I start thinking I fumbled as well. All I can say for both of us is to just trust in yourself and your application as well as to ensure that your well-being is not based on an application cycle. Find joy within the journey and have fun with friends and loved ones. Work on your passions, stay productive, keep your mind on things elsewhere besides interviews that have already been completed. No matter what happens, persistence is a testament to how great you'll be as a doctor when the time comes 🙂. I don't know you but I'm proud of you and I'm sure the people around you are as well so just keep going.

As I know so far, TCOM holds only 1 interview day with 2 sessions in January. Interview in December is full now.
 
Searching threads from the last two years and here are some information to help us predict when the next pre-match waves are:
1) 22-23: pre-match - Dec 12, Dec 20, Jan 24, Feb 13; match/waitlist - March 3; accepted from waitlist - April 27, May 5, June, July 21.
2) 23-24: pre-match - Dec 7, Jan 25; match/waitlist - Feb 16; accepted from waitlist - May, June 3 (OOS), June 21 (OOS), June 26 (OOS).
Good luck to us!!!
 
Stupid ask, how do I tell my parents that Tcom is considered top DO program. They are worried that I am making right choice or not.
 
Just to make sure, TCOM (and SHSU) doesn't require a deposit by 12/14 like other osteopathic schools right? We just have to accept our spot on the portal and that's it for now until after match day?
no deposit for either of these
