Is it just my browser, or does TMDSAS have the ugliest webpage you've ever seen?

It's funny how my impressions of the TX schools were shaped by their webpages. Until I could go visit them, I didn't have much else to go on.

Also interesting that now my #1 school ends up having the worst website. (UTHSCSA)

their little CD-rom they gave us was the worst too 😳 the little flash tour that's on it can also be found on their website :-\

at least UT-H gave us a little video with Red Duke...that big sexy hunk of a man

Texas Match Prelim poll

 

[pboothe]

A mother and her daughter were at the gynecologist's office. The mother asked the doctor to examine her daughter. "She has been having some strange symptoms and I'm worried about her," the mother said.
The doctor examined the daughter carefully and then announced, "Madam, I believe your daughter is pregnant."
The mother gasped, "That's nonsense! Why, my little girl has nothing whatsoever to do with men." She turned to the girl. "You don't, do you, dear?"
"No, mumsy," said the girl. "Why, you know that I have never so much as kissed a man!" The doctor looked from mother to daughter, and back again. Then, silently he stood up and walked to the window, staring out.
He continued staring until the mother felt compelled to ask, "Doctor, is there something wrong out there?"
"No, Madam," said the doctor. "It's just that the last time anything like this happened, a star appeared in the East and I was looking to see if another one was going to show up."


An Irish surgeon who had couched a cataract and restored the sight of a poor woman in Dublin, observed in her case what he deemed a phenomenon in optics; on which he called together his professional brethren, declaring himself unequal to the solution.
He stated to them that the sight of his patient was so perfectly restored, that she could see to thread the smallest needle, or to perform any other operation, which required particular accuracy of vision; but that when he presented her with a book, she was not capable of distinguishing one letter from another!
This very singular case excited the ingenuity of all the gentlemen present, and various solutions were offered, but none could command the general assent.
Doubt crowded on doubt, and the problem grew darker from every explanation, when at length, by a question put by the servant who attended, it was discovered that the woman never learned to read!


A woman goes to her doctor who verifies that she is pregnant. This is her first pregnancy. The doctor asks her if she has any questions. She replies, "Well, I'm a little worried about the pain. How much will childbirth hurt?"
The doctor answered, "Well, that varies from woman to woman and pregnancy to pregnancy and besides, it's difficult to describe pain."
"I know, but can't you give me some idea?" she asks.
"Grab your upper lip and pull it out a little..."
"Like this?"
"A little more..."
"Like this?"
"No. A little more..."
"Like this?"
"Yes. Does that hurt?"
"A little bit."
"Now stretch it over your head!"

If in, I will make plans soon. Maybe Feb 9-12 or something. Maybe in March. Soon I hope. 27 acres of hill country with horses, cows and goats. Hot tub on the porch looking out to the hills. BBQ and beer.

[powwow]

What it do people? The best way to keep your mind off the match in Htown is to go to downtown and celebrate with the super bowl crowd...... Believe tha playas.

 

[G0S2]

Go Pats!!!!!


I am jealous of the h-town playa's!!!

 

[EvoDevo]

Just wanted to let everyone know that the "Last Updated" field likely has NOTHING to do with your matching. Why do I say this? Because after freaking out that I'd forgotten to send in my Fall transcript I had one sent out.

Guess what? My "Last Updated" field reads todays date.

Hope that settles the minds of the anxious. 👍

 

[WTF]

GOS2 -- point well taken. original message-- edited

Good Luck everyone this Sunday

 

[G0S2]

I honestly feel as though this is causing needless anxiety. I called TMDSAS and they told me that the last action date had nothing to do with the match. Mine is 1/15/04. Did I match to the one school I applied to on the day the submissions were due? Am I rejected? I have no idea and will not until 2/1/04 at 12:01am CST. In general, I believe this would have been common knowledge that would not be questioned this late in the game. If this happened year after year, all we would do is check the LAST ACTION DATE to determine whether we have been accepted? It just doesn't sound right.


Just my 2-cents.

🙂

 

[catch 23]

Doesn't it kill you to know that the match results have all been completed?!? I remember what it felt like, but it's a right-of- passage and trust me it will be the best Feb 1st 12:01am in your life. It was the first time my dream of being a doctor was actually a reality. I just wanted to say good luck to everyone. I also noticed that a lot of people on this board are shooting for SA so I wanted to make a comment. 95% of the students UTHSCSA interviewed this year were ranked as ones. I don't mean the match I mean how your application is ranked when you are being considered for an interview--many of you have talked about the system where your application is reviewed and designated as a 1 (definitely interview) 2 or a 3 (don't interview) and I believe Dr. Jones referenced it on the interview day according to one of the posts I read. ANyhow, just remember that if you don't get in. It means that the quality of students interviewed was very high and that the reason you might not have matched with the school probably has nothing to do with you as a person or as your potential to be a good doctor. Sometimes this process is just very random. Plus you will hear this over and over--all of the TX schools are of great quality and place students in residencies all over the country and where ever you get into you will be receiving a great education.

GOOD LUCK TO ALL!

according to the post that was apparently edited/deleted i was accepted to my 2nd choice then bumped up to my first

that or i was waitlisted at both and got bumped up to one of them 😳

this waiting thing sucks.

edit - it changed again today to 1/29

ISN'T THIS MAKING YOU CRAZY?!?!? isfiuyawrei n sihfuafoiahsjd bfuihf 9uashdfi0 sdhfisdnfko sodfifuoisadf

 

[Disenchanted 1]

Can you guys stop talking about the "last action date" or "verification date" !! It's really making a lot of people worry for no reason. It has nothing to do with match so let the damn thing go !! 😡

 

[Disenchanted 1]

Ok.....on a lighter note we have 50 more hours to go!!

Let the countizzle contizzle .... 🙂

My last action date hasn't changed, I was wondering if yours had?

Thanks lake austin. I wish you the best of luck too ...........we are exactly at 49 hours and 10 minutes...

 

[Giving My .02]

This thread makes me feel better. I actually feel that it is normal to be driven with anxiety.

 

[Gleevec]

Wow, you can cut the tension with a knife, I dont feel like I can do anything between now and then.

 

[No Egrets]

hey guys! we're at less than two days now!!!!

i'm so nervous/excited! i can't wait to see the "TEXAS MATCH RESULTS" thread after midnight!!! yee haw!!!

 

[G_Eagle]

Yeah, I was thinking about that too... Someone should create a Texas Match Results thread with a poll at the top. That way, it would show in general how many matched where, and people could also announce where they matched...

 

[No Egrets]

Yes, good idea! A poll! Brilliant! Ah yes, the poll choices could be the names of the TX schools! And perhaps even an extra selection for "not matched," although it will clearly be unnecessary for such a talented group as us. Oh my goodness, where is the houston rockets guy with his players countdownizzle??

 

[sunkists]

question question --

are people here nervous because:

1) they just want to get matched to at least one school and be a doc
2) are fairly certain they are getting in and want to be matched to their top school

just wonderin.
