Yes i have that same question. I will have to put down a lot of AMCAS schools. And I don't that would be favorable
Application for 2013 is now open!
Does anyone know if we have to report all non-TMDSAS schools we are applying to? It asks for this, but I haven't narrowed down my list and don't want to put 40 different schools!
Yes, you are required to report them.
Will be finally submitting today! Hopefully not too late lol!
So I got transmitted to schools.
Can I just go ahead and submit the secondaries or should I wait for the schools to contact me?
Can someone please answer my question?
On the TMDSAS website it says:
"07.27.2012: Current processing times:
Applications: processing those whose application fee was received on July 18"
So basically about 10 days for them to start processing ur application after receiving your payment. But how much additional time is it going to take them for them to actually TRANSMIT them to the schools? Is it a long while? I was planning in submitting my application the first week of August, does this mean that my application won't be sent out until September? Or soon after they begin to process it, Mid August?
So it's getting pretty late in the application cycle and the only thing keeping me from submitting are the "optional" personal statements. From what people have told me (advisor/friend that talked to admissions director), apparently, there is no such thing as "optional" and it's a mistake not to do all three. What do you guys think about this? I was planning on only doing two since I'm trying to submit as soon as possible. Would it be better to take a little longer and do all 3?

At this point I think its better to submit than keep putting it off if you have nothing good to say
Optional Essay 1- Unique Experience: Briefly discuss any unique circumstances or life experiences that are relevant to your application which have not previously been presented.
Optional Essay 2- Personal Characteristics: Please describe any personal characteristics and/or important or challenging experiences you have had that will contribute to the diversity (broadly defined) of or provide educational benefits to the student body.
In my case, I feel like I have a unique experience that also falls under "challenging experiences" that i feel can contribute to the diversity of the student body. To me, both of the optional essays sound the same, so i'm not sure what I should do. It's hard to explain without having you guys reading my personal statement and explaining my hardship. If ur interested, send me a PM
I would e-mail TMDSAS. In the top right corner you should see inbox or something, just click that and send a message to them and ask. They're usually pretty quick about responding.how can I enter in a zero credit class? it was half quarter intro class about the major that was required for everyone but it was zero credit. TMDSAS won't let me enter 0 for credit hours.

They also verify all info and make changes when you send your transcript in.

Do we hear about interview invitations through email or does this information come from the TMDSAS website?
Also, will a school tell you if they DON'T want to interview you? Or do you pretty much just get no feedback?
Interview invites go out through e-mail. Although I believe TCOM will call you.
If you don't hear back from a school, by the end of December, they're probably getting ready to send you a rejection letter. You won't get any other communication unless they invite you for an interview.
Haha was kinda upset when realized that I couldn't pay by credit card because I knew it would delay my app more and I had thought all that time that when I submitted it it would start processing. I don't know why they don't accept credit cards. Super lame.
Just wondering if you have strong ties to Texas if it plays a role in your favor for these schools or is it that if you are out of state your out of state ...
If I took a class over the summer at a community college just to get acquainted with the material before actually taking it at my university, do I need to put this on my tmdsas application even if I didn't claim any credit for it?
I was reviewing the coursework I put into my TMDSAS app so I could get course info for my Southwestern app when I realized that I somehow listed several bio lecture/lab courses as "othsci."
What should I do about this? Email every Texas school I applied to? Contact TMDSAS?
I did this for 2 intro bio courses and 1 for physiology. Not really worried about physiology being listed as othsci but the intro bio courses have non-traditional course names so I dont want too much confusion.
I correctly listed the course prefix as Bio.
I think TMDSAS will fix this when they verify your coursework. Don't e-mail the schools though, if anything just send a message through TMDSAS in the top right of TMDSAS.
