thanks carbohydrates for your reply. i appreciate it. yeah, I read that too, actually. Just banking on the other schools...at this point since I know nothing for sure. I actually didn't apply oos this year because I knew it was too late and I didn't want to waste any precious chances on any oos schools. The money is a factor for me, and I personally thought since I was applying late that I'd put all my eggs in a basket for texas and see how it goes down. Took the DAT only when I thought I was ready..and that ended up being Sept so yah.. :/
