Everyone go check your applicant profile, and then tell me what in the world a TScore is!
Last TScore update: 000000

Not sure what the TScore is, but mine says "000000" as well. I think that's been there all along, so I'm not too worried about.
I don't think it's been there the whole time, because I don't remember seeing it last week.
I finally got some LMFU action (7/27) after nothing for three weeks since processing.... thank God, now I just have to see if something comes of it![]()

San Antonio put my totally fluent roommate on the spot to speak spanish and she almost froze! So definitely be ready to converse 🙂 One of my Tech interviewers was a Spanish speaker and apparently really wants people to be able to speak Spanish (totally random pairing because I've never taken Spanish). Those are the only places I had it/heard it brought up at.
So now I am totally confused. I retook the MCAT in July. On my status page, where your MCAT score(s) are, it said 072007 and blank for the score. Now it is just totally blank for that score. Did any other retakers have it do this after they finished taking the test?
so i just got an interview invite from TAMU😀, i'm OOS
what airport do u suggest i fly into?
You should probably fly into easterwood airport (a smaller airport) in college station. Otherwise, you could fly into houston and drive a couple hours to get to college station. Costwise, I don't know if it is cheaper to fly into college station or rent a car.
Sanity-wise, I suggest flying into College Station. Driving that long after a flight makes little sense if you're trying to save cash. There are way too many unforseen problems.
This is my ridiculous interview schedule:
8/8 Texas Tech
8/10 UTMB
8/11 Wedding in Waco
8/13 UTSA
8/16 TAMU
I guess it'll be good to have it all done though.
Mine's almost as bad.
8/8 Tech
8/10 UTMB
8/11-8/15 Moving 🙁
8/16 A&M
8/20 UTSA
I really hope you two aren't complaining. 😕

Finally got my first LMFU 7/27/07
hope that means something, the A&M invite is getting lonely.
so did everyone's LMFU change to 7/27/07 because of the Tscore thing? or is it totally unrelated.
My LMFU has only changed twice from 6/11 to 7/13 to 7/27. I've had my LORs in before the 13th so I hope it has to do with interview invites.
It's not that bad driving to CS from Houston, it's only 90 miles. If you fly into College station you'll probably be in those little airplanes.
In the personal statement for TMDSAS, it says to discuss your philosophy of the medical profession and your goals relevant. How did you discuss this, I have it written out but I don't know if this is what they really want to know. I think I might have got into too much detail, what did you guys do??
I used anecdotes to segway into explaining each of my points so I don't seem too dry. It forces you to write a semi-structured PS that you can easily reuse for AMCAS.
See and I was told by one of my mentors, a UT-H doc, not to do storytelling. Everyone does it and most stories are made up, plus reading stories gets boring really fast for the PS readers. Discuss more philosophy but I'm so consfused on what to include and what not to include. Can someone give an example of how they incorporated their discussion of the medical career so that I can understand this request better...

This might not be related, but the docs I've talked to have absolutely no idea how the admissions process works these days. They're all "just take the MCAT and get good grades and everything will be fine." 🙄

I am new to posting, but have been reading many of the threads trying to figure out all of this med school madness. My husband is applying through TMDSAS for 2008. He took his MCAT in May and received a 27L: 10PS, 6VR, 11BS. He is retaking on Aug 6th, so his results are to be back Sept 5th. He has completed his application, but has not sent out or requested any seondaries. He has received one interview to UTMB. My question is.. because he is retaking to improve his MCAT scores, should he send out the secondaries and do the Texas med schools review applications twice? He did put on his application that he was retaking. PLEASE HELP! 😳
So, I talked to this girl today who said UTH and Baylor already sent out interview invites. I think she was a re-applicant, but I was like what?? I didn't even think they started lookin at our apps until august 1st (for UT-H)..i dont know about baylor.
Do you guys think she was straight up lyin or she really did hear bak?
I don't know about everyone else, but that doesn't sound accurate at all to me. If I remember correctly, I thought Baylor doesn't interview people until September?
