I recommend going to the DO forum to ask, and also google AACOMAS traffic rules.
Does me accepting an offer from an OOS DO school affect my current WL schools and potential future offers from any IS TMDSAS schools?
No, they are separate
what is the last day a tmdsas applicant who already matched can hold on to acceptance offers from the waitlist?
Are you still holding 2 offers even after getting your big scholarship?
No I withdrew already, but I got a message a few days ago saying that the deadline was 4pm May 2nd? That’s the first I heard of it
Since there’s a lot of offers starting up now, the schools are going to set you a pretty short decision timeline. Read each offer closely
You know, @Doodledog, I used to argue with applicants on SDN about this exact point for years.
If you never took classes at that CC, you don’t need a transcript from them.
i think so personally! if it's a meaningful experience, i'm sure you would have multiple perspectives / takeaways from it.
It’s just for statistics on family size and how many in your family have attended college & their ages.

bernedoodles are the superior doodle dog!
Hey, I'm a proud mini-golden doodle. We're not competitive in the doodle world like you premed hoomans are. I'll sniff the you-know-what of any doodle type. Oh yeah, remember Texas people, and I can't say this enough, that TMDSAS does not use or mandate the CTE/PTE system. If someone has done a CTE for a TMDSAS school, it's because they also applied to an AMCAS school and are on the CYMS system and CHOSE to do do a CTE. TMDSAS schools DO NOT require a CTE. Having said that, Texas schools will honor them whether done for a TMDSAS school or an out of state school. Finally, we're currently just under 9 hours until the last time a TMDSAS school can offer admission to a WL applicant who currently holds a TMDSAS acceptance. I expect few such offers to be made today as most schools have filled and got folks to give them decisions by yesterday.
In the grand scheme of things, does that mean the majority of offers made after May 15th will be due to OOS applicants CTE at an out of state school?
No, I believe that all the TMDSAS schools will honor CTEs and not offer those individuals a spot. When doing a CTE, students indicate they will withdraw from all waitlists. Although CTE is not a legal process within TMDSAS schools, I would be extremely surprised in the current year to see a TMDSAS school intentionally offer a place to a person with a CTE regardless of what state that school is.
I am not 100% sure of the rules about this, but I recall one guy from 2-3 years ago that got 2 WL offers in the same week the last half of May. The first offer came from his favorite school and when he got offer # 2 after that he was able to turn them down & say he had accepted another offer.
Interesting question and not fully answered by the rules. But, the rules do say "after 5 pm CT on May 15, no medical school in Texas may offer a position to an applicant already accepted by another medical school in Texas", now, I would interpret this as meaning that "already accepted" refers to the applicant formally accepting the offer. From the time they make the offer, they will give you 2-5 days to accept, depending on when it is relative to the school start date. However, the second school might not see the first offer or acceptance on the TMSAS website (remember, no CTE in Texas) for a couple of days after you accept it and could offer you a place without meaning to violate this guidance. So, I think there would be a bit of flexibility for a few days around this. I do think that once you had accepted the first offer and it appeared on the TMDSAS site that the second school would not make an offer, excluding exceptional circumstances. I also think you COULD call school number 2 after you get offer #1 before accepting it and see what they say. Not sure what they'd do but I don't think it would be a terrible thing to do if you really preferred school #2.
That’s a good dog!
You can put more detail and personal value of the experience into it. Value and takeaways are more important than listing every task you did or technical details if it was a research activity.
I would say turning in your primary within May 15-May 30 assuming it takes a ~month to verify and having your secondaries in by June 30th or right before July begins is "super early", as in the earliest possible submission that will make any difference. For example, the Tech schools love to send II's early, like July 1st and 8th, which means they were already doing secondary and primary review well into early June. Most other schools however will start sending interviews July 20th onwards, which means if you turn in your secondary by the beginning of July there's a good chance you are within the first few pools reviewed and have most if not all interview slots available to you.
Yes you are
sounds good to me!
Thank you!
Enter expected dates and say I plan to continue my weekend volunteering at the hungry hungry hippo food bank every Saturday
estimate what you will do by August and list your August end date.
