so does it seem that WL preference is given to someone who doesn’t have any acceptance?

We are only seeing what gets shared on SDN.
There have also been some offers to people who had another TMDSAS school already.
From a pragmatic standpoint unmatched students are more likely to promptly accept, helping finalize a class roster.
After 5 pm on May 15, further offers will only go out to those with no current TMDSAS acceptances.

Another 52 hours and this for sure will be 100% accurate.

I’m not following - CYaL8Er01 got off WL and they did have a prior acceptance

Yes, they apparently had an acceptance earlier in the cycle but hadn't shared it on SDN.
It's still before May 15th, 5PM. After that time, new TMDSAS WL offers only go to those holding no TMDSAS spots.

 

[decrepit2023]

is it accurate to say that majority of wl movement for unmatched people will happen after the 15th?

It is accurate to say ALL of WL movement will ONLY happen for unmatched after the 15th in TMDSAS.

I already have one acceptance, but UTMB has been my top choice since day one. At this point, I can only envision myself at UTMB and not at any other medical school. How likely is it that I will receive an offer at this stage, with only 50 hours left until the deadline?

This utmb thread last year showed like zero movement after May 15 🤣😭

 

[iloveharvard]

Does this 50 hour deadline apply to ALL TMDSAS schools or just UTMB?

To all TMDSAS schools, if you have a TMDSAS A.

 

[tntttttttttt]

what month can one realistically expect that any chances of getting off the WL are over?

I had a previous acceptance so idk.

so apparently the class size is full as of now according to admissions office I called

Class size after May 1 is always full or exceeds depending on how well they predicted yield.
At this point, there is no upward waitlist movement (just one more day) since everyone with an admission loses all their waitlists.
The only movement will be for people giving up spots to accept a waitlist outside of the state. These are primarily OOS students but can be IS students also.
In rare cases people might take a deferred year if the colleges allow.

When OOS students give up a spot, can it be filled by IS students who have no matches

Yes.

What's CTE deadline for UTMB MD program? Is it May 15?

Any new offers made from here on out will have a very short turnaround time, like 2 to 5 days.

Thanks! How about the offer received in January? Can I stay in PTE until the orientation begins?

 

[MrFutureDoc]

As someone who holds an acceptance at another TX school, is any action required on my end if tomorrow comes and I never moved off the WL here, or will I be removed automatically?

You don’t need to do anything @MrFutureDoc
You will just know that your present school IS now your Texas school.

 

[neuroticpremed222]

Welp RIP then, May 15 is tomorrow and class is full - wishing well to those that still need a spot afterwards, grateful that I have one already.

 

[dancing-rat-chancho_366]

I’m counting only 4 ppl total who got off WL. I’m guessing a good amount of folks didn’t report their WL A’s on sdn. Or UTMB is becoming a more desirable school

I am a bit lost. why wouldn't UTMB be a desirable school?

I’m saying in comparison to Baylor, UTSW, Long, Dell, McGovern, and TAMU plus I was betting some non-Houston folks who matched here would be hesitant about moving all the way to Galveston

Galveston is only 30 minutes from Houston...

Its the oldest medical school in Texas practically on a beach.

Texas schools get quite stratified right after match. Most of the openings occur due to people moving out of state after that from higher ranked schools but lot of it gets settled around May 1st or before.

 

[Arbitas]

Galveston is only 30 minutes from Houston...

That is objectively incorrect. If you count League City as part of Houston, sure. However, if you're looking to get to anywhere inside the 610 loop (say the TMC) you're looking at least in hour. With traffic and all the construction going on with I-45 you're looking at least 1 hour and 30 minutes.

UTMB is also located on the very east end of Galveston island, it takes almost 30 minutes just to get from UTMB to the mainland!

 

[Arbitas]

I think a lot of it has to do with Galveston rather than UTMB the school itself

every student I know attending UTMB is quite happy. Even more interesting is that several medical students that I know from other schools in Texas are ranking UTMB high enough to go there for residencies.
