I'm wondering what is the "premed course schedule" at UT-Austin? Are there no gen ed requirements or space for electives anymore? (Sure, I'm part of the choir, but it's not earthshattering news... except for those who don't take the advice seriously...)
Your major determines your course schedule largely, and there isn’t a “premed major” at UT Austin.
Usually you shouldn't need to email the admissions team, but i suppose you can check in. AMP should flag your file for each update. It's a question of how busy the team is to review your update. Your updates aren't going to be deleted.
I want to add some past numbers for total number of medical school applicants for context. Entry Year (EY) is the year they started med school: EY 2020 would be people who applied during the 2019-2020 application cycle.
You can send your transcript to TMDSAS now. It will say "In progress" for your Spring 2026 classes.
maybe wait until Fall 2025 grades are on it 😉 will save you one step of in-putting those on the portal
You're anonymous here so come out and ask your question instead of tiptoeing through the garden.
Thank you! Yes, it is a DO school and the combination of a bad interview experience, location, and DO immediately dropped it to last in my prelim rankings. I've had 3 other TX interviews and no prematches, so hopefully will be ok but on the off chance, I'm debating whether I would rather just try again next yr than go to this school. thanks!
The above message says you already withdrew from this school and it sounds like you still have 3 outstanding?
It sounds like they just want to withdraw from the DO school.
Missed the IF clause!
Haha yeah I'm going to finish the cycle for sure! And I think the combo of my mcat/gpa may have held me slightly down from my dream school who unfortunately love high stat. but it's cool, definitely going to finish cycle and wold be happy to match the md schools!
As long as you have covered the prereqs for your schools you should be fine. They know future registration plans may change.
Sure, keep it clear and concise

well, sort of... "The facility isn’t a standalone medical school. The academic control stays with Texas A&M’s College Station campus. But, Kingsville would host a full medical education unit. Students would begin their training in Kingsville, continue residency in South Texas and directly transition into the communities that have struggled for decades to recruit providers."A new medical training school is coming to South Texas — Here’s what it means for the region
TAMU-K will build a massive facility designed to help train doctors, nurses and PAs.
Your other qualities and experiences attracted their interest so do your best to go to the interview with interest and optimism
Yeah unfortunately stats do matter even post-interview, a lot of schools give you a points total based on your MCAT and GPA (and several other factors). They accept people based on that points total.
You can update it if you want to, but it's not required. You would probably have to message TMDSAS within your portal to ask them to "unlock" the settings, to allow you to correct & update your courses.
Ok so its not a red flag or anything. I was worried they might think I didn't update it on purpose or something. Thanks!
You might get an acknowledgment that they received it and added it to your file. I think most commonly they will see it only if they open your file again for a selection meeting.
You can match with just one interview. Sadly there is no way to predict exactly what your individual odds of matching are.
You should be ok, having the official transcript let TMDSAS see that you had omitted those courses and corrected it for you
I’ve heard from 2 deans at Texas schools that they all communicate with each other regularly throughout the application cycle. There’s not many ways an applicant can express bad faith besides submitting an LOI to two schools, and I’m going to assume that is discussed alongside the fact that a school has received an LOI from an applicant. If what I’ve heard is 100% wrong and you have any other info feel free to correct me
One school will not see another school’s letter that you sent. Really though just rank them in your desired order
Hi: Yes, admissions deans do talk to each other throughout the cycle. There are meetings like the TAAHP meeting of health advisors where they meet in person and regular zoom calls related to programs like the JAMP program. I also heard from multiple deans that sometimes deans have lunch together if one is in the other's town because they are quite often former colleagues and personal friends. However, they DO NOT discuss specific applicants until the waitlist period where if they are accepting an applicant off the waitlist that was matched at another school they notify the school that they were matched at about it. This is done as a courtesy so the school can start to look quickly for a replacement from their match list. Non-dean members of admissions committees of course are not generally (if ever) privy to LOIs and are forbidden to discuss applicants outside the committee meetings/process.
Thank you for the insight, I appreciate the details. With match approaching I’m slowly going crazy
While you wait is a good time to fill out your FAFSA
Thanks! I’ll get it done this month
I would like to know this too
One thing to know is that the number of students awarded scholarships for medical school is unfortunately very small compared to college.
This seems to be some outdated information or hearsay- are you an applicant or a student?
