Remember TMDSAS is just starting transmission to schools this week then the school admissions staff needs to upload your app to their system.
Thanks!
You shouldn't copy it & paste it, because remember Texas A&M admissions people have already read that optional essay in your primary TMDSAS application. If you want to further discuss the same topic or bring out different aspects of it, you could do that.
They verify your app without the transcript. They give you 30 days to get it to them when they email to ask you for it. Trust the process ! 🙂
Has your application been filled out completely?
You just need to complete it before matriculation. The school that accepts you will be the one to check all your completed courses against their pre-requisites.
Thanks for getting back to me! So no need to place it as a projected course at this time? Or should I do my best to put a placeholder? For me it's complicated by the issue of not knowing which school I would take it at.
If you find a discrepancy on the PCR, contact TMDSAS right away to have them check it.
Uggg, figured out I must have fat fingered "other science" instead of "phys lab"
I don’t think this is worth worrying over. You “may “ put an activity in both employment and healthcare but you don’t “have to”, especially when you have other entries in the healthcare activities category. Good luck this year!
Try SHSU com
This year TMDSAS is posting a running update of what they're working on, it will say something like "TMDSAS is currently processing applications submitted on May 26"
You could do that if you prefer, but I don't see this strategy used as much in TX. Probably because the fee is the same to apply to one or all schools.
I don’t think there’s one answer for all TX schools. I know you can create a Texas A&M account and get their secondary as soon as you submit. You will get an email from UTSW as soon as they upload your app. Others may do some screening before sending one to you or may wait until they see your score. Just check your email and spam folder daily and work on them one by one.
It will be on the order of weeks not days if they screen by reading your whole app.
Your letter can go to both MD and DO schools, so easiest to send it to TMDSAS now so your application can be seen as complete by everyone.
I think it fits the teach for America type service. However, there is nothing wrong with putting it in the employment category and then explaining more in the “most significant activity” space.
if it's still a good likeness you can use the same one
I used the same one when I re-applied last cycle. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions about re-applying.
Yes you can do that, but to add more schools you will need to message TMDSAS via your portal and tell them which schools to add. It can't be added on your own like AMCAS.
I usually recommend that Texans submit to all schools, yes. Especially since TX schools really like earlier app submission.
@poblanopepper If you have completed your primary TMDSAS app up to the point where you list the names and contact info of your recommenders, TMDSAS portal sees that info and has already sent an email to your recommenders to upload. So yes it's all secure and is matched up with your application ID already.
@wysdoc Oh that's good news thank you! It had been a couple of weeks since my writers had informed me they uploaded their letters. I was not sure if they would approve/verify them without my primary submitted but the first letter was actually approved this morning! I should have waited a day to ask on here lol.
The only way to find this out is to look at each school's web page, or the MSAR if you are subscribed to that.
Refer to pages 44 to 46 in the TMDSAS handbook. If this still doesn't answer your question, message TMDSAS within the portal.
