I don't know. I was thinking it meant maybe they didn't update their records indicating that I showed up for the interview! Maybe they still have me listed as Pending for the interview!!! 😱 😱 😱 What if they didn't log something in their computer or something???? 😕 😕

😱 😱 😱 I never thought of that before. I sure hope that they've perfected the matching system. Even if they made a mistake with one of our records, we'd never know!!!!!!

 

[true blue]

Yes, you should! Wine is great! 😀 Perhaps if I really wanted to stay in TX i'd be somewhat OCD right now as well, but I got my first acceptance last week so, I'm happy that I'll be going somewhere!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I bet it feels great knowing you are going somewhere this fall! 👍

Good luck!

Don't think it means anything, unless you haven't finished your pre-reqs (which you should know, right?)

I have no idea what anything means as far as dates go. There are some people on here who are already validated w/o completing pre-reqs (DualSuperLead...sorry in advance if I am wrong).

AsianDoc, I think you are going to be just fine! You have nothing to worry about!

I say that at the rate we are going, we will make it up to 5,000. And not out of neuroticism, of course! 😉

 

[JDAD]

I think today was abnormal. I am sticking with my primary prediction. Things will slow down during the week, but next weekend might be trouble.

[basten0]

okay, apparently i haven't frequented this board nearly enough in the last 3 weeks.

first question:
could someone direct me to a link that tells me what the validation date is cause i'm really confused. it says my validation date is 121404 when i don't see how thats possible when i didn't turn in my fall transcripts until 122004.

second question:
whats with all this "TTU: blank" stuff. are people having problems with TTU. aight. talk to y'all laterz. thanks for all the help. good luck everybody.

 

[Lubbock21]

hey lubbock21 was yours blank or said interviewed?

TTU Status Field: Interviewed
Schools Interviewed: (1) TTU
LMFU: 1/15/05

[synapse lapse]

EvoDevo, Lane and JDAD.. Just a question on where this information come from? Trying to figure out the validity to all this craziness!

It is info that we all pieced together from last years and this years dates on the status page. We have all reached a conclusion that the dates probably are not indicative of anything, but maybe the Last Master File Update means smoething, though I don't think it does. Basically, we all speculated and haven't really found out anything.

 

[jdovez]

Well, the pasword was included in your physical acceptance letter, so if you don't have it you can maybe call them and get it from them. You had to use the online system to confirm the interview date, so if you interviewed there you did use the system. Anyhow, sorry if you don't have pw anymore.

Hey thanks, I will check my paperwork tonight. Having interviewed there like 4 months ago, I really didn't remember I had to confirm, but thanks for the reminder!

I second the 5000. This is the last week so I think we'll be spending more time than usual on this thread to share conspiracies and paranoia.

 

[papunjabi]

Okay the nightmares have begun. I dreamt last night that I had trouble loggin g onto the TMDSAS website Mon night. It was so bad I stayed up all night trying and was miserable all day. I finally got in at 1 pm on Tues only to find out "Schools Matched: 0" 🙁 🙁
I was interviewed at 3 and ranked them in this order(UTSA,TCOM,A&M)
LRCW: 010305
LMFU: 011505
Validation Date: 000000
I sent in my fall transcripts sometime in the 3rd week of Dec.

 

[ninebillion]

Ranked: (1) UTSW, (2) UTMB
LMFU: 01-17-05
Validation: 000000

Withdrew from all other TX schools after admission to a non-TMDSAS school.

To add to my previous post: I didn't send in fall grades... Hopefully that won't matter?

 

[RangerD]

I'll say we hit 5001

Happy Monday everyone! 🙂

Happy Monday, TB. How's your Monday going?

Busy! That's a good thing I guess. Not totally freaking out yet, but then again it's only 10:15. 🙂

How about you?

 

[runner1979]

This thread went NUTS yesterday! Only one more week until we can lay these conspiracy theories to rest....and celebrate all of our accpetances.

Congrats MadameLuLu on your first acceptance!

 

[shock827]

I just heard on the radio that today, Jan 24, is the "Most Depressing Day of the Year" according to some British doc.

Linky

Welcome to the start of the slowest week of your life. 7 days and change.....

Hi! Yes, we went nuts yesterday. That and we are going to make it to 5000 posts 😉

I'm good. I'm not nearly as freaked out about the match as everyone else seems to be. That's what happens when you already have an acceptance.

Hopefully I can get to next Monday w/o spazzing.

I'm going to the shooting range this weekend to relieve some anxiety, though.

5000 for sure...if not more at this rate.

 

[synapse lapse]

OK, I said 4650 earlier, I think I'm gonna call one the 5000 mark now!

 

[Ylime]

Ok this may be a dumb question but does anyone know how someone can have an acceptance to a TX school already if they didn't apply ED and they did participate in the match?? 😕

Emily

Are you referring to myself and MadameLulu? My acceptance is to an out-of-state school....which costs ~30K/year.

If that's NOT what you were referring to, then I don't know how it's possible.

 

[Brain]

Emily

I heard of an out of state student who only applied to UTSW and found that he got accepted a few weeks ago.

 

[runner1979]

maybe MD/PHD or some other program like that with a separate application process from the MD.

 

[Ylime]

Evo,
No I wasn't referring to you or Madame, I was actually referring to an acceptance on the official thread. Maybe runner's idea is right... Sounds logical, anyway.

Yeah. I know for a fact that MD/PhD peeps knew about a week ago whether or not they were accepted.

On the match website it says that if you are an out-of-stater and only apply to one Texas school, they can tell you before the match.

I saw that too, for UTH. It's been there for several weeks now and was wondering about that myself.

Awww...No fair! 👎

Hey guys

I know that I shouldn't be worried but it seems like almost everyone has been validated except for me 🙁 . It's really weird though because I finished my pre-req's a long time ago and turned in my transcripts a long time ago but still haven't been validated. 😕

I'm in the same boat as you. I graduated in August 2004 and I still haven't been validated either.

There has to be some order in how they decide to validate people. Perhaps alphabetically? Or maybe by when you got you initial application in. I have not been validated yet, and they have received all of my transcripts (as of 1-10-05). My last name begins with a "P," so maybe they are still in the "L"s or something.

Soon enough we will all wonder why we were so obsessive when we find out we will be doctors on Jan. 31st + 1 min.

i'm not validated either. finished all prereqs. didnt send in fall transcripts, app completed 070704 and last name starts with B. so who knows at this point about the validation date. omg I really think i'm going crazy 😱

Same song, different verse. Graduated May 2004 and turned in all college work/transcripts in august. Had 2 interviews with the last one being in november. No validation to date but LMFU on 1/15/05. I agree validation has nothing to w/ the match, but it still makes me wonder. the things the make ya go hmmmmm.... We'll see. Anyone else have parents or friends that think you're absolutely nuts and psychotic about this??? I DO! I think it's b/c this process is soooo drawn out and mentally and emotionally involved to the max!! eveyone keeps asking what my backup plan is??? argh!

I don't really even bother talking to my family or friends about this process because I know they won't really get it, and they'll give me the "You're so smart, you'll get in, don't worry." speech.

Sweet Jeebus, I was expecting this thread to be silent until just before the 31st! Glad to know I'm not the only one sitting around and wondering what the hell is gonna happen to me on Feb. 1st. Well, I hope that I will be partying in celebration as opposed to partying in depression. Sobbing at a bar just makes me a real killjoy. Don't transitional periods like this where for a few weeks you have no idea what you'll be doing with your life just suck ass?
