so I don't want to rub anything in, but this is mind numbing and shaking.

I was at the liquor store to celebrate UTMB, when I got the call from UT Houston. WHAT! I'm so confused and shaken and in a whirl I don't know what to do, but I know I must work fast. I think I must be the luckiest person alive.

If I were to tell you to go to UTMB it would be for purely selfish reasons. But..... UTMB did call you first, so it could be interpreted that they want you more. 🙂 Good luck making your choice. I know many people are going to be excited to hear your decision. And again, congrat-u-freaking-lations. This must be a VERY good day for you today. 🙂

I thought it was supposed to be an email.
 
Just want to let all you guys waiting for the TCOM waiting list to now, I just got my acceptance into University of Buffalo yesterday via e-mail and will be withdrawing my spot from TCOM. I will call/e-mail them as soon as I get my official acceptance paperwork in the mail to free up a spot for someone. Best of luck!

There was quite a bit of movement two weeks ago and the week before that (ie. at least three getting off each of those weeks, and that's not even factoring those who don't post on SDN). The last few days, a couple or so people have gotten off the waitlist. Suffice it to say, out of all the TX schools they seem to have had the most movement so far. I don't know if that'll change when the other TX schools pick more on their waitlists (like the recent UTSW/UT-H moves).

Congratulations and good luck in Buffalo, Bluemirage! Belated congratulations to everyone who've gotten off the waitlist this past two days!

Any UTSA movement? Or TCOM news?

Thanks everyone!
I was holding a spot at TCOM so I hope that's good for someone!!
I'm so overwhelmed--I am leaving the country for 2 weeks on Tues and have no idea how I will get everything in order!!

wishiwasfoosin--I just tried to PM you---they said there were 60 on the WL
 
OMG! Congrats everyone! It's raining waitlist acceptances here!!
 
Rowdyrock, that was me who PM'ed you (I also meant to send a PM to wishiwasfoosin). That looks like a smaller waitlist than I imagined. I hope good news will continue to come.

So ... anybody else relinquishing seats?
 
yourmom and aggiesarah..
I'M really really routing for you guys to get your A&M and (for your friend aggiesarah) UTH acceptances!!

just to let you know..I just withdrew from UTMB so someone should be getting a call today.. and i really really hope that it's someone from SDN.

COngrats man! Way to go!!!!

60 on what waitlist? TCOM?
 
I think m email server is down... what a great time to crash! Makes me paranoid about previous emails from schools I may have never received!
 
congrats texans! sorry about the wrong thread post
 
I just got pulled off the waitlist at Tech, pm me for more details
 
Congrats my friend! This WL season is hopping!
 
congrats everyone for getting off those crazy waitlists!

if anyone has any questions about UTMB stuff, feel free to PM me with questions/concerns. I'm in Galveston right now and could try to help any new acceptees!
 
ok so what exactly happens on June 15th, that being tomorrow? and who does it not benefit/benefit...
 
i actually don't get the whole jun15 deal. from what i had heard, those people holding an acceptance are taken off of any waitlists, leaving people without any acceptances.

that kinda sucks.

also wtf, there doesn't seem to be any TAMU waitlist movement. thus far, i've only heard of one person getting in, which means only a handful could have gotten in. WTF?!

Yeah, at this point I've pretty much given up hope...sigh.

Aw! Never give up hope! You've got until classes start. And TexMD just left a UTMB spot open 🙂

P.S. your pictures on facebook are amazing! You look like you had a great time on your trip!

Historically, TAMU only takes off 2-4 people on the waitlist a year.
 
i was hoping against all hope and praying for an email today, that somehow they would bypass 120 people or so and be like hrmmm... eternalrage looks like a nice guy, how about we do a rocky I and give the underdog a chance
 
OMG I just got accepted by UTSW!!! OMG OMG OMG!!! So, since it's already June 15th and I just received the email like 30 min ago, does that mean I have to decide now??? Should I got with UTSW or UTMB???

Just wondering: where were you on the waitlist, rank wise?

ARrggggghhhh i pretty much gave up hope, but i guess not yet! I really hope thre is some more more WL movement at SW (and YOU can make that happen for me by choosing UTMB 😉 👍 )
 
Treva, you gotta take UTSW...cause I think I have a better chance at UTMB... lol 😀
 
dammit mulliewins, you should take the UTH spot. (for completely unselfish reasons on my part of course...)

and dammit trevagandalf. you've gotten 2 spots, while i've gotten jack. i wish i had been interviewed by one of these schools with more movement. i guess it's TCOM 2011 for me.
 
congrats everyone!!! major crazyness! 🙂

can someone clarify something for me? if a person has an out of state acceptance and is on some texas waitlists will they be booted off ??

here's what it says on the TMDSAS website:

"After June 15, no medical school in Texas may offer a position to an applicant already accepted by another medical school in Texas. This is the result of an agreement between the four UT System Medical schools, Baylor College of Medicine, Texas A&M University System Health Science Center College of Medicine, Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center School of Medicine, and University of North Texas Health Science Center at Fort Worth College of Osteopathic Medicine."

yes i know its self explanatory.. but i need confirmation from others lol
 
out of state acceptances are ok. you won't get booted off.

THIS SUCKS FOR US THAT HAVE ANOTHER TX ACCEPTANCE. i don't think this is fair.
