This is a great idea that you can tell came from a premed mentor with too much experience 😭🫶

Most of the other schools won’t send out a specific notice like that.
Here's my notes of the last interview-invitation dates from the 2021-2022 cycle:
Foster Jan 27
McGovern Dec 1
Dell Feb 2
Baylor Nov 16
UTMB Nov 19
Long Jan 20
A&M Jan 12
Lubbock Dec 10
U of Houston Jan 3
UTSW Nov 18
UTRGV Nov 30
TCU Feb 2
TCOM Jan 19
SHSU Nov 24
UIWSOM April 24
Commenting on these, I think UTSW, UTMB, and Baylor are probably done inviting
I will guess maybe one more round for McGovern?
I think UTRGV will send out more, because they started late
The rest will probably have a few more too.

I think you are likely still in the running for an interview
What does scenario based MMI interview mean to you? Should I expect only “tell me about a time” and ethical questions only? I’m trying to see if I can skip rehearsing the traditional questions.
I would take it to mean "How would you handle this hypothetical situation?" questions, so if you reviewed that kind of thing for the CASPer test you should be all set. Of course if they throw in a station or two to ask you about yourself, you don't need to practice for that
For tmdsas, how many II would be considered average? and how many would be considered a good basis to have moving into match day?

I know that 60% of matriculants only get 3 or less interviews, but not sure specifically for TMDSAS. I also think having 3-4+ interviews heading into match day sets you up with decent odds

I don’t have data to support this but I feel like way less than 60% get 3 interviews.

So i misquoted this. It should be ~50% of matriculants get 3 OR less interviews https://www.aamc.org/media/50081/download.

So I FINALLY got my sGPA over a 3.0 this semester (my AMCAS was a 3.2 but TMDSAS has other thoughts)- do I need to notify schools of this or does it give schools a notification of this?
If you are still in school, fill in your fall semester grades on TMDSAS and submit. They will recalculate your new GPA and send it to your schools.
You can also, if you like, send a 1-2 sentence email to your schools saying something like “I just completed a strong semester and have updated my grades on the TMDSAS portal “
Thank you!
UTT literally has interviews next week so do with that what you will
Nothing is mentioned in the TMDSAS support Twitter page, assuming this is still active. Maybe it's on another social media site?

Students will be out of class longer than workers in the administrative offices. Life goes on, meetings go on.
Really, try going to the X vs Y thread, use search function "search Titles Only" and type in 2 schools you're comparing.
I bet you will see someone who was making the same choices over the last 2-3 years.
What if you are not taking a gap year, this way your transcript will be in Dec?

this is from the tmdsas email if this helps:
TMDSAS needs you to send in your transcripts! One official transcript is required from every U.S., U.S. Territorial, or Canadian college you have attended. This includes:
- College-level courses taken while in high school (i.e. dual credit courses), even if they did not count toward a degree at any college.
- Any institution at which you have any academic record, even if transfer credit was later accepted by another school.
TMDSAS prefers that transcripts be sent or postmarked within 30 days of this request to avoid delays in application validation.
Exception: If taking Fall 2022 courses, please wait until grades have been released before sending us that institutions' transcript (Likely in December).
Yes, wait until your Fall 2022 grades have been finalized & added to the transcript. It should only be another 1-2 weeks to wait.
At the end of the whole application season, the school you end up enrolling at will also ask you for a final transcript. Wait until you see that on your list of things to do for enrollment.

The "validated" field on the PCR should remain as "N" until TMDSAS has requested a transcript (after first acceptance) and used that to validate the PCR, correct?
I don’t know the answer to that specific question but you could ask for clarification by messaging TMDSAS in your portal.
Hi, I am currently trying to send my official transcripts to TMDSAS as I received an email stating it was required. I am trying to send my transcripts using Parchment and there is a section that says "Transcript Type." I was wondering whether the transcript type would be "Academic Record, Semester Hours Transcript" or the "Continuing Education Transcript." Thank you so much for your help.
The first one, Academic Record, semester hours.
mine still says N and my transcripts were received last month
Send them to TMDSAS now, and to the school you ultimately enroll in. It may be TCOM, or you may match elsewhere if you’ve had more interviews
Ohhh okay tysm for your help!

Do you know if there is a way to confirm that TMDSAS received our transcript? I'm looking at the application service but I can't find a tab anywhere

You'll get an email when they processed it. But you can check yourself by going to the "status" tab and scrolling down to the transcript section.

That's right I forgot about the status tab! Thank you so much.
No, the official determination was made at the time of your submission of the primary application.
Thank you!

How long does it usually take for a school to show up in TMDSAS after interviewing? It’s been about two weeks.

Depends on the school. BCM and McGovern were within days for me, but other schools took almost a month
There are several schools who specify they do not accept AP credit.
However, I'm wondering if CLEP credit is lumped in the same? (My guess is yes, but...)
I have emailed the schools' admission teams to clarify but the responses have been slow or nonexistent.

Usually CLEP and IB and AP credits are interchangeable in admissions offices' eyes.
And, in the opinions of the admissions, is it still acceptable to use AP Physics 1&2 credits instead of taking the classes in college? My university does list out which specific courses the AP credits I receive credit for place me out of. @Mr.Smile12
You'll need to ask each school. Many schools are explicit when it comes to accepting AP credit or not, including whether Prerequisites could be fulfilled with AP credit. Some will, some won't even if comes to physics.
Hi everyone, I was wondering if someone could give me advice on writing an LOI. I currently have a top choice school, but I still have two January interviews. I saw someone recommend to wait to write an LOI until you finish all your interviews, but I am worried it is getting too late with match day approaching. Do I still have time to write the letter if I wait?
Wait until you have had your other interviews because your opinion may change!
I put up my big ol' TMDSAS Match and Prematch explanation post over on the Republic of Texas thread. #262
Have a look, watch the video, and ask me questions either there or on this thread.
Don't put off your rank decisions until the last day! You have lots of time to think it over now while waiting.
Fair warning: I am going to put a "rolling my eyes" emoji on anybody's post that sounds like "OMG, OMG, I have one more hour to rank my schools and I just don't know what to do!"🙄🙄🙄

Should I update my grades last semester into the TMDSAS portal? Does it matter?

TMDSAS suggests you update them, but it isn’t absolutely required

Feel extremely blessed as a reapplicant with 5 interviews and a prematch offer.
Now for the longest 8 weeks ever.

Can't believe there's only 6 more weeks until Match Day. Time is flying by! I hope everyone is doing alright and keeping themselves occupied during this time.
What is yalls thought process in ranking schools?
For me, Im having trouble knowing which factors about each med school matter/ factors that I will care about when im a student there. As of right now, the only thing that matters to me is the environment I live in but even that doesnt narrow the schools down fully for me.
For example, when I have visited the schools. They have all been impressive with their new buildings/new hospitals/ "amazing collaborative culture"/step 1 pass rate/ match rates/ etc so im curious to know what do yall value in a school that makes it stand out from another one
Any insight or advice would be much appreciated !

Have you checked out the "Help Me Decide Forum"? Help Me Decide: X vs Y Medical School
Look for or search for titles in the forum mentioning the names of schools you are considering.
You might see some pros and cons you had not considered.
It's nice to have more than one choice, congratulations!
