If we interviewed but did not match at a Texas school, are we automatically put on the wait-list? Thank you
I think it's school-dependent. The schools will contact you regarding the next step. Some programs put everyone who didn't match on a wait list, while others may choose to reject some people in favor of creating a more selective wait list.If we interviewed but did not match at a Texas school, are we automatically put on the wait-list?

6 options, hey, thats still pretty good odds, just stay positive.Not matching really suckkkkks! Especially since I just received ANOTHER rejection from an OOS program. I've only got about 6 options left at this point-- all of which have been dead silent for months

Well let's hope that they keep their policy that nothing will affect your position on the wait list, even negative factors.
P.S. You didn't mention any information about yourself though right?
Oh no, so you're not even on the wait list yet.Yeah with my name. I just asked her if she could put me on the waitlist. oh man i don't even know why

You got an wait list email? That's great! I would call them to make sure, but if you get onto the wait list, that's another opportunity!I know someone has probably asked this before, but do you guys know when the most movement is for waitlist? I am just curious! Also, was anyone else offered an alternate for A&M after getting rejection email?

As for most movement, no idea. It changes each year.
I'm hearing not even a few... more like 1 dozen for each school. With a wait list pool in the 100s.how many students get accecpted post-match? Does anyone know approximately? I'm guessing, just a few dozen in all of Texas?

Wow, there isn't alot of hope it seems... although I heard UT Houston has a lot of movement because a lot of their students match to Baylor, so I would say maybe close to 20. I also read in a previous thread that A&M selects candidates off waitlist who best matches the person who gave up their seat to maintain the diverse and academic profile they want to maintain. I am not sure if it is the same for other medical schools.I'm hearing not even a few... more like 1 dozen for each school. With a wait list pool in the 100s.
I'm assuming that they feel wait list is too negative a term. So they used "alternate" to make us feel better.What does it mean to make the "alternate" list? Is that just the wait list?

Would it be appropriate to call and ask certain schools why I didn't receive an interview? Just purely out of curiosity.
Hey what's up all - congrats to everyone for staying sane through these past few months and extra congrats to all those happy with the application cycle!
This is my first post. I'm mainly just interested in seeing if there's anyone else that experienced something similar to me this past cycle/serve as a reference to future applicants.
This is a quick snapshot of my application: 91% percentile MCAT, 3.7 cGPA, 3.4 sGPA, ORM, TX resident, top 20 university, transmitted end of June, study abroad in a Spanish speaking country, normal health care volunteering and non healthcare volunteering experiences throughout college, lots of research.
-Graduated in June 2016 and have been working for a healthcare company
-At the time of my application I had "2 submitted" 2nd author publications in my TMDSAS. Both got published in the last 2 months.
Overall, I saw myself as a pretty competitive applicant with the weakest point in my application being the low science GPA. I figured the competition at my university and pretty good MCAT score would make up for it to a certain degree? I didn't expect interviews at UTSW or Baylor, but I thought I had a solid shot of getting interviews at basically every other school. I only received invites from UTRGV (couldn't attend interview), TCOM, and A&M (day after I called them to check the status I got an invite).
I ended up matching at TCOM, which I ranked below A&M (alternate). I'm cool with going to TCOM, but I really thought I'd have more success at least getting interviews at places like Tech, UT-San Antonio, McGovern, etc. Anyone else go through something similar/think I had a weird draw of the cards? I'm just trying to understand how this whole process actually works...

Did you guys hear about A&M cancelling their waitlist? I really hope other Texas schools don't follow their lead...
Wait what? Where did you hear this?

Also, people on the waitlist got a letter via regular mail, including myself.

Yes because of legislature based reduced funding of 6-50 million... BUT any possible movement expected is after MAY 29th. I hope those who have multiple offers can be selected off waitlist after that date because it conflicts with the TMDSAS June 1st rule and the traditional waitlist period is now on holdDid you guys hear about A&M cancelling their waitlist?

Any possible movement for the TAMHSC WL is highly, and I stress, HIGHLY unlikely given the fact that they have 180 seats right now and they are planning on shrinking it to 150. Any attrition will be made the class size unless more than 30 people drop, then they'll go down the WL.Yes because of legislature based reduced funding of 6-50 million...

Question about establishing Texas residency:
Is AmeriCorps "Gainful employment"?
I checked on the MSAR and neither of these two schools provided numbers about how many were accepted from the wait list last year.Do you guys know if UT San Antonio and UT Houston will have waitlist movement this application cycle? Do you guys know the percentage of people who usually gets off waitlist? Thanks
I created a thread to answer this specific question. https://forums.studentdoctor.net/th...he-veil-of-uncertainty.1246176/#post-18713620Do you guys know if UT San Antonio and UT Houston will have waitlist movement this application cycle?
