Hey you lucky OOS'ers! I am in-state and am dying to find out if I got in. Did TCOM call you or did your status change online or both?
I called to see what was happening on Oct 16th and was told over the phone. The status page also changed and they sent a letter by snail mail too.
I'm in at TCOM...I like A&M too. However, TCOM is ranked and for me it's a better fit! Plus I don't have to move (far)!😍 😍
I am so going to TCOM! 😍

Has anyone else gotten an e-mail about the Preview Day on Dec. 9? I think it would be good to go, but it starts at 8:00 am and I'm from Houston, which means I'd have to drive up to Fort Worth the day before and get a hotel room, and I'm not sure I want to deal with all that if the Preview Day thing isn't really that big of a deal. Anyone going?
You think you have it bad I'm from New York I have a final the following monday. I think I'm going to give them a call and ask if they are intending to have another one during the spring semester. At that point I think it won't be as bad and the majority of the class will be able to go for preview day and look for places to stay at the same time. Just my 2cents
There are some really nice lofts and apartments just down the street from TCOM.
Firestone Upper Westside (Good if you are single): http://www.lincolnapts.com/communit...muID=568&pageSubNavigationID=FeaturesServices
Also search for Houston House (Fort Worth, big old building converted to lofts, 5 mins from school) and the Electric Building. There are also tons of houses for sale in the surrounding areas.
Rent: From $600++ (1 bedroom), $1000 (house to rent, 2-3 bedrooms)
Buy: 3 bedroom from 80,000 (needs work) to 150,000++(really nice, for a student)
Utilities: Electric is a freaking rip off and the summers will kill you but DSL, cable, etc. are reasonable.

Best of luck with finals! I hope I survive mine!
Does anyone remember if classes are all day everyday? Whether they have blocks, etc??
If you guys have any questions about the area you can pm me.

Just wanted to say congrats to everyone for getting in to TCOM! 
Get excited! You're going to be doctors! 😀
That being said... sounds like Snowkhat knows FW pretty well but I grew up on the West Side (Ridglea, which is farther down but close to TCOM) so if anyone has questions about the area feel free to PM me. 👍

I was given a freshman and sophmore M1, M2 schedule when i went for my interview:
Tues
9am-5pm
Wednesday:
10am-3pm
Thursday:
9am-4pm
Friday:
8am-2pm
Year 2 also varies --- basically some days go from 8am-5pm some go from 9am-4pm, some 8am-3pm
I heard that attendance was only manditory for the labs
Hope this helps
Also to give everyone a heads up : If you are going to be looking for an apartment for next year it would be better to go to the spring preview day because the apartments will be ready for when you need them, Plus it would be better to wait until the spring preview day becuase it will include everyone that is definetly going to the school aka. after the texas match. So everyone that you meet there will be your classmates.

And another couple questions....
Does anyone know if they give out class notes/syllabus notes for each course... like they do at UTSA and UTMB?
I don't remember a gym on campus... was there mention of where students work out?

any idea about the specs on that tablet laptop? i really want an ultraportable and it would suck to get stuck with something that id ont really want to but have to pay for...
also, any specs on the PDA? i'm looking into acquiring a nice PDA/Smartphone/Digital Camera/Toaster all in one thing. i would hope that they give out something useful so that we can combine our gadgets into one.

The only thing I know about the tablet is that they use Gateway.
they do give out scholarships but not before the match, you would find out sometime during april/may. Its called the deans scholarship search it on the TCOM website for more info only 5% of the number of last years class will get a scholarship. So that works out to about 8 students total will get a schoarship out of the whole class.
So, laptop specs. Gateway tablet (they only have one). As of now, we are all ordered the same machine and the cost is built into total attendance/tuition. For the PDA. They didn't really go into it. I would love an all-in-one with phone, but who knows?
Oh, yeah. Go ahead and apply for FAFSA asap (when taxes are complete). They might have some grants available.

Hey guys just wondering what everyone is up to this coming summer? Working and saving for medical school? Partying? Travel? Classes?
Party, Party, Party, and relax. Don't do anything if you can help it, and for god sake don't study. It is the last time in your life you won't have something over your head. Live it up!!!

Thinking about traveling as in Road trip down to Texas, anyone have any suggestions on where I should stop on the way down?? I'm comming from New York. And I was wondering, is anyone looking for roomtes? I am and if your interested PM me.
Ummm, depending on your route you could stop in Memphis or Saint Louis. Both have awesome places to go and great restauarants. Of course you will have to stop somewhere on the east coast as well.
You should post your roomate request on TCOM's student portal website.
Goodl luck and have a safe drive!

Hey whats up everyone,
I might be a little anal to start this already but I thought I would throw the link up for people just in case I'm not alone. Here is a link for all the immunizations and all the other jazz we need to have filled out before medical school. I'm sure they are going to send it to us in the mail but I thought if we printed them out now we could get a head start.

this if for last years class but I'm pretty sure its going to be the same for this years also.

Nope, I am either buying or renting a house. I hope to move by May or June.
How bout' you?
How bout' you?
I was emailing people that put ads on the students web page. I got a hit for a roomate possibility, and a few that said if its open when your here you can take a look but thats it. I will definetly be renting just a matter of figuring out weather it will be alone or not. I would like to have a few roomates. I really can't wait just to meet a few people from our class its driving me nuts right now. Does anyone know when the spring get together is going to go down?
Yeah!!! I got accepted to TCOM today. I was not even expecting it because I didn't think they'd be offering anymore acceptances. Well, now I have to decide between TCOM and UT-H. Soooo difficult!!!! I love both schools for different reasons.
We'll see.
We'll see.
