TMDSAS is the application where TCOM is on..its the app for instate residence tho. the school accepts 90% instate students by law..because they pay taxes..and 10% out of state..if you are out of state i'd suggest somewhere else...im from texas..if you hav any other questinos PM me...

oh and also...TCOM's #'s are about the same as the rest of the MD schools in texas..which is why its on the same common app as the other allopathic schools
 
They use a differernt form and go through a service called the TMDSAS. Texas schools have their own form except for Baylor. Are you a Texas resident? The school has a law that states 90 percent of the incoming class has to be Texas residents. Hope that helps!!

Thanks for clarifying! I swear the AACOM college info. said that they do participate in AACOMAS....I am not a Texas resident, so I may have to rethink this one. Thanks again
 
Deadline: October 15, 2005 (AACOMAS)

That was copied from the AACOM website, but underneath I see that it says TMDSAS application service....weird..
