I honestly haven't decided that yet. I really didn't think I stood much of a chance of getting accepted this cycle, so I would have been happy going anywhere. It probably is my number 1 b/c its so close to home. (Austin)


Good luck to you HD.

That's awesome, congrats! Can you tell if they mailed out Wednesday or Tuesday. I'm trying to figure out when a letter would reach the Dallas area.

I think San Antonio mailed it out on Nov. 30 (Tuesday) so it should get to your area tomorrow. Good luck!
 
Just got the Baylor acceptance in the mail today. Don't be nervous when you get the envelope, it's a thin letter.
 
you stole your way into dental school. 🙂
good job

😀 🙂 👍
 
Hey Burglar, you plan on going to Baylor? I have an interview at Baylor on December 6th, 10:00 a.m.
 
Congrats to the previous lot of accepted folks.

Also got the UTHSCSA letter in the mail today. Very nice and close to home. It would not require much of a lifestyle change for my wife and I (she is faculty at UT-Austin and could stay here as long as we live in-between Austin and San Antonio). Luckily there is a nice little place called San Marcos in between, complete with outlet malls.

Where do you live Burglar that you would get a Baylor letter today?

My most sincere congratulations to you Trypmo. I knew you would get in and was pleased to see your name added to the big list (mind you, we were deleted immediately by the next poster). Good work.

Good luck to all those still waiting to hear. I am sure good news is on the way.

Good luck to all the people waiting and congratulation to all my future classmates 🙄

Nice work. You say you are from Austin? Are you still at UT? Maybe I know you?

I actually live in Dallas and I am amped about going to Baylor. I graduated from Baylor Univ in 2002, GPA 3.2, DAT AA 20 PAT 19. I've been lurking around on this board for a few months now but never really had anything to contribute. Everyone has been extremely helpful and I wish everyone the best of luck.

congrats to everyone so far.

Congrats Shaka! Now you have to choose between two awesome schools. 😡

good luck in that process

I have received letters from University of Oklahoma, San Antonio and Baylor. Did anyone receive a scholarship offer with their Baylor acceptance? I was wondering if they offered it to all students as an incentive to go to their school or if they really do just offer it to select students. Please let me know if you have heard from them. Thanks!
 
So HAPPY 🙂

I got accepted to UT - Houston and San Antonio in the same day 🙂 I'm so excited...it's all God ~ 100%

Best wishes to everyone! Hope to see some of you all next year.

Too soon to assume anything, HD. Get a good night's sleep and keep a good thought. We're all pulling for you! 👍
 
Received acceptance from Houston. However, I have already withdrawn my applications from both Houston and Baylor.

All of you who've received Baylor letters--do you live in the Dallas area or have the letters already made it out to whole state?? Just sittin here bitin the old fingernails!!!

I live in Austin. The letter arrived last Friday.
 
Hockeydentist I feel ur pain my brother..R we gonna have to wait till Jan to find out if we haven't found out now?? Also, did everyone who received the Baylor letter also receive the scholarship letter along with it??
 
for those of us that were not lucky enough to get letters on Dec. 1, what should we now expect? letters in january? february? has anyone received a rejection letter from a texas school?
 
I know from UT houston from last year, I didn't recieve a rejeciton untill may.

Baylor- I recieved in February

San Antonio-March(i think)

Letters for acceptances

could go out in January, February, march-april, as you get further along the number of acceptance letters drop.
So if you didn't get a letter in january, just hope that you will get it in February, I could see the school being full after february.

January and February are the months.
 
What if we get an acceptance from one (that we wouldn't mind attending), but really want to get into another (with which we've already interviewed but have yet to receive any communication)?? What do ya do?? Do you tell one yes, and then if you get a letter from the other you backtrack and tell the 1st one you were just kidding?? Or do you try to find out your status some kind of way from the school you would prefer to attend??

in response to my own question, i called baylor today and got some info...admissions lady said my application was still pending and that second round letters would be going out in late january. she then asked if i had interviewed already and i told her "yes" - she then said not to worry too much and just wait till the end of january. i asked for a specific date and she said it has not been decided yet...2 more months of agony...ugh
 
For those folks interested in whats happening at UT houston, expect to hear for the second round, shortly after the 15 of January.

Hey future, I would go ahead and put the deposit down, becuase you have it in hand and there is no gurantee that you'll get an acceptance to you're top choice.

I had friend at UTSA who wanted to go to UT houston, no luck though, she is attending UTSA. She almost turned down the UTSA, but later convincing from friends. Otherwise she would be outstate.

Hey , everyone:0)

I am a little bit upset as I had interviews in all 3 TX schools but have not hear from anyone of them yet. In Houston Mary Huerta told me my file is up for review, is this the "wait list" thing?
My GPA is average and DAT also, is 19 overall and 20 science. And I have only 86 hours of my undergrad.
I think what makes me upset is that I had little hope even to be invited for interviews, but when I did, my hope was too high and I had confidence that I would get at least one acceptance letter in early December.
So I am preparing myself, at least mentally, to stay at undergrad college for the next year and finish my degree.
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE :0)
 
Applicant one, without a degree had a 3.8 GPA and 22 on the DAT, got accepted to UT houston, in one try.

Applicant two applied twice, first time a 3.4 GPA and 19 on the DAT NO degree, got waitlisted, no acceptances.
second time around, gpa 3.4 and 19 on the DAT finshed a degree in biology got accepted to UT houston.

I think if you're going to apply without a degree, you would have to be in category one. HIGH GPA and HIgh DAT. I think UT houston is the only one that accepts people without a degree. Baylor and SAn antonio, you have to have a degree, I could be wrong.

I am not making this up, I know both of these applicants at UT houston.

hope this helps.

I go to San Antonio and yes, a few (maybe 5/93?) do not have degrees. If the school had no intention of admitting a student without a degree, they wouldn't waste both their and the student's time interviewing. UTHSCSA is not big on wasting time with respect to anything. So don't sweat it Azurelyana - if you interviewed at all 3 your chances it means you look good on paper regardless of having no degree, and that's the biggest part of it. Plus the schools will see that you interviewed at all of them when they compare lists, and that will help.
I applied the last hour of the last day and interviewed at the last interview session of all the schools and still got in in late Jan. So anyone worried about being late, there is still plenty of time left.
To those who interviewed and are still waiting on a letter, again, lots of time left. A friend of mine had already paid tuition for hygiene school when she received her admittance in May. Several students interviewed in the fall but did not get admitted till January. If I remember right, the acceptance list they posted this year for ya'lls class only had about 75 names on it. If those 75 (who likely are the same 75 admitted to the others as well) get split between the 3 schools, that leaves 68 open spots at SA alone for January. Also remember that many people reserve a spot at one school while holding out for another (including AADSAS schools, most of which have much later deadlines than TX schools), and so spots will open up in January when the schools compare enrollment lists and start calling around demanding students to commit to one (like they did to me).
Also remember that once you're in, you're in. It doesn't matter if you were #1 admitted or #93 admitted, if you have a degree or not, if you had a 4.0 (or if you enjoyed the bars a lil too much and it reflected on your grades the semester you turned 21...), or if you got a 17 or a 22 on your DAT - everyone starts from the same exact place and no one knows where you stood before that because it JUST DOESN'T MATTER. Do you know what your friends' high school GPAs were? See my point?
Best of luck to everyone, I remember how hard it is. Feel free to ask me any questions about SA (computers etc) and its differences from the other schools.
