With the match system, you rank the TEXAS schools (except Baylor). If you get into your top-ranked school, you will not know of your acceptances to the other Texas schools. They are automatically withdrawn. If you don't get into you are waitlisted at your top-ranked school and get into a lower ranked school, you can wait for acceptance to the top-ranked school. Does that make sense?

Does this system only apply to Texas residents or to all applicants? Do I rank those schools in primary? Since I am still working on it, so far, I haven't been asked to rank any schools yet.

Thanks
🙂

 

[JDAD]

Will all the texas people set up a MDApplicants profile please. It would give everyone a greater understanding of where they stand. The should also link them in their signature like the others have done.

As for myself, I will post mine as soon as I get my MCAT score. I took it in August. (BOOOOOOO)

Thanks

You rank the schools that you interview at after you interview by Jan 15 and then you know where you matched on Feb.1. Once you fill out the primary application, you will be able to click on "Applicant Preferences", then after you have interviewed you click on "School Preferences (for Medical School Applicants ONLY after Interview)" where you rank the schools.

Check out this site, it should help you understand the match: https://utdirect.utexas.edu/nlogon/mdac/MATCHP.htm#Posting of Match

And, of course, you are welcome here resident or not! It's for all people applying to a Texas school!

Does anybody know if Baylor and UTH coordinate interview invitations so that an applicant doesn't receive invitations to interview on the same day for both schools? This seems a little strange, but I received an invitation to interview at Baylor on 9/24. I know of three other people who were processed the same day as I was andreceived UTH interview invitations for 9/24 last week on the same day. None of them received invites to Baylor. Our stats are all very similar. Does anyone have any ideas?

I'd prefer not to post that information, thanks.

It applies to all applicants who apply to more than one texas school. You need to rank them by January 15.

I think a lot of people on this thread have similar GPAs and MCATs if not already posted....around a 30 MCAT and 3.6-4.0 GPA. If you want to know individual stats, you can send the designated person a PM (that's what I've been doing, or at least, how people have been receiving my stats....)

Highly doubtful. Actually, I would say no. (I don't think we want the admissions offices to be communicating with eachother!) You are probably next on the list at UTH, but they can only interview so many people on each date.

 

[neoncandle]

I had 3 interviews last year at Tech, UTMB, and UTH.

I couldn't get a straight answer from any of the schools as to why I didn't get it. The best I can come up with is: 1) I only had 2 LOR (this year I have 4), 2) I was weak in clinical exposure (this year I show at least am trying), 3) I think I gave lame answers to some of the interview questions that made me look reeeeallly dumb, probably b/c I felt like a "deer in the headlights." 😱

I love it how many premed advisors don't know what they're talking about, don't you? Oh well, they try, I guess.

I know several people who didn't get into Tech the first year, but got in the second. They don't just want to see good manners and insight into medical school, they want to know that you want to go to their school. They are trying to put together a class of people who fit together. I have my first interview tomorrow and I am sure I might have that "deer in the headlights" look no matter how prepared I am. Interviews can be scary things.

There are no sure things anytime there is competition. If you interview at all the schools, you do increase your chances though. I mean, after 3 or 4, you would be a real veteran, right?

Yea I agree with this, most of us have similar stats, there are a few however who are well outside the average.

 

[txguy]

Ditto, I'm right in there too.

I also don't want to put all my stuff on MDapplicants and a link on my profile....sorry......you can PM me tho if you want 😀

[Giving My .02]

The TMDSAS website has the averages, I would look there, and that would be more accurate anyway.

 

[AsianDoc816]

Yea I agree with this, most of us have similar stats, there are a few however who are well outside the average.

Even a few people who lie well above the average (i.e., 35+ MCAT, 3.8+ GPA) may choose not to post due to personal preference. I for one do not want to be a statistic, regardless of how how high or low my stats are. However, there's nothing wrong with posting...I simply prefer not to.

 

[FosterChild]

I have it from an intimate source in the UT-Houston Admissions office that they do NOT coordinate with Baylor. Baylor does not play in TMDSAS or with any of the other Texas schools for just about anything. If you ask REALLY REALLY nicely with lots and lots of prior notice (and send flowers and chocolates 😛 ), they will schedule your interviews early in the day if you are interviewing at UTMB in the afternoon.

Also, UT-H doesn't use a computer to select whom they interview. The Dean himself actually reads the profile sheets, looks at grades, checks MCATs and Letters of Reference/Dean's Letter, etc and then tells the staff whom to send invitations. So, invitations for UT-H interviews may come a little later than other schools (they apparently strive for 2 wks notice, but sometimes come a little short). Also, that means if you get an invitiation to interview, you have a decent shot at getting in since the Dean has already had his look.

Other hints:
1. BE ON TIME. The letter says "arrive by 7:45" because that's when the day starts. It does not say ?arrive sometime around 7:45?. It is noticed who can't follow directions.
2. Parking sucks. Deal with it. The Texas Medical Center ain't a cow pasture with space all around to park your suburban/dualie/hot-rod lincoln for free. Plan ahead. Find the parking garage; find the med school; put $10 (yes ten dollars) in your pocket; all the night before. Remember, parking on the east coast is closer to $20-30 per day, if you can find it.
3. Take the silly tag off your jacket sleeve. You look like a goober. What it also shows is that: a) you just bought it because you weren?t prepared to interview this year and were surprised by the invitation, b) are overly label conscious and want everyone to know you own the latest J.Lo design, or c) you don't have the attention to detail to remove a label. And does anyone want a doctor with poor attention to detail?
4. You're an adult. You get dressed in the morning without Mom and Dad (hopefully). You go to school without Mom and Dad. You go on dates without Mom and Dad. Don't bring them to your interview. Spouses on the other hand are VERY WELCOME at UT-Houston Interview Days. There is even a small-group session on Families and Medicine most days. After all, spouses are who gets you into and through medical school, so they should be involved in the process, right?
5. You're still an adult. Clear directions are given to your interview locations. No one will hold your hand to get there.
6. It says in the letter "wear comfortable shoes" for a reason. If you're interviewing with a doc from MD Anderson, the Mental Sciences Institute, Texas Heart, or TIRR, you'll probably interview there, which can be a little hike from the Med School building (but worth it to see the facilities available!). But, if your feet get messed up, ask the Admissions staff (nicely... remember the flowers and chocolates?)... sometimes, they have mole-skin/band-aids/etc.
7. Why complain about the food? It's free, right?
8. It's southeast Texas. It's hot outside. You may go outside. Be prepared.
9. It's southeast Texas. It rains a lot. You may go outside. Be prepared.
10. Medicine is a fluid enterprise. Your interview day will be too. Doctors get stuck with patients. Researchers get stuck in the lab or class. The medical world doesn?t stop so that a pre-Med can interview. Take that extra time to come up with a better answer to ?why do you want to be a doctor? than ? I like science and want to help people.? Or come up with an insightful question of your own for the interviewer

Anyway... this has kind-of turned into a rant, but hopefully it'll help a few folks out.

 

[latinfridley]

hey can anyone explain in a bit more detail about the severing of ties between Baylor and Methodist Hospital, or if u have a link to an article that would be nice as well. Just curious.

Does Baylor use a formula? Or do they also screen using LORs, the secondary, ECs, etc.?

good luck with your interview. It should be easier than you think. All you have to do is be the person you have been your whole life. If they don't want you for you... then it was never meant to be.

You edited your post. 😉

But sage advice nonetheless. Everything he said is so so so so true.

Hey Foster...you applying this year? Or just an interested party? 😀

 

[IndyZX]

Anytime I hear someone complain about UTH's parking, I laugh. It's $10, folks, it's not the end of the world. You do get a very convenient spot for the whole day in a secure garage. (I am guessing that most people who complain have never been outside of Texas very much.)

Yeah man! I remember you. I was just finishing that 2000 word autobio for Vanderbilt. Good to see that your TMDSAS was finally processed. See you in Houston on the 24th.

I think you may have like the highest MCAT score out of all the 19 year olds!

 

[IndyZX]

It's all about the Benjamins.

Apparently, Baylor wanted Methodist to build them a new teaching hospital that they would have total control over, so Baylor could oversee the cash flow. Methodist didn't like the fact that they were being used and told Baylor to go **** themselves and hooked up with Cornell.

This is from a 4th year at UTH, so it's probably a bit biased, but I'm sure it's all politics and money, as usual.

I have a question regarding the TMDSAS application.

Question 28: List all other medical and/or dental schools you are applying to or will apply to this year.

My question is: am I obligated to list all the schools I have applied through AMCAS? What do they need this information for?

Thanks.

 

[txguy]

Hey guys....I switched my UTMB interview from 9/24 to 9/10....I had a few tests that were on the 24th, so this works out great for me. Plus, I won't be as far removed from "interview mode" on the 10th.

Who else will be there again?

-tx

 

[aidan73]

So will I hear from the schools if they are planning on rejecting me outright? As in not even offering an interview?

Can you tell I'm not feeling very optimistic!? I know logically it is still early to average in the cycle, but emotionally I'm feeling very rejected. 🙂

I'll snap out of it later, but it's Monday, and I'm at work and I just hate all the waiting.

You probably won't get an official letter of rejection until VERY late, once the class is officially full (like May, June or even later). But, if you haven't received an interview by the last interview date... then it doesn't look good.

But cheer up! All the schools interview until Dec and some into January.

Quick answer: Ethical question. Tell the truth. Don't want to be the kid found out to be unethical, right?

Long answer: they are probably trying to see if you really do want to be a doctor (e.g. are applying to every school you can get into), have realistic goals (aren't applying to a school well above your GPA/MCAT scores), and, finally, aren't going to try to game the system by holding a spot at an AMCAS school AND a TMDSAS school.

hey can anyone explain in a bit more detail about the severing of ties between Baylor and Methodist Hospital, or if u have a link to an article that would be nice as well. Just curious.

I currently work at Baylor and a theres a lot of DRAMA going on right now. Baylor wants to build an ambulatory care center and have control over it, but Methodist would not agree to give them control.

Most of the faculty at Baylor also have appointments with Methodist. So, right now there's a tug-of-war about which institution is getting which doctors. The president (Traber) regularly sends out emails about which updates to staff (New Neurology chair) and whatnot. About a month ago, Traber sent out an email..he's upset that Methodist is aggresively wooing Baylor faculty. I am more than happy to send or post the emails if anyone wishes to read.

 

[DeepCowboy]

I would ask him first, he might get pissed. He probably views them as internal mail, and in a very extreme, litigous world (such as ours) it may expose you legally. Just a thought (I am a paranoid superhero and see it as my duty to protect you, so don't think I am weird, except for the tights).

 

[tgerwuds]

OK so finally something useful...

I interviewed at UTSA today (8/30) and was intrigued by their admissions procedures. They DO NOT interview based on numbers. Dr. Jones (Director of Admissions) said that they interview those based on proven intent to practice medicine. In addition, he did say that they reject many with high scores and high GPAs if they have never exhibited any such intent prior to the appications.

In addition, he mentioned that once you are invited to interview academics mean nothing and the playing field is level. The interview, for UTSA, is what makes the applicants stand out. (This seems a little difficult based on their high numbers of interviews)

All in all, it seemed like a pretty good place to go to med school and their clerkships seemed like they would be pretty awesome with all of the hospitals in the area.

 

[IndyZX]

Take this with a BIG heaping teaspoon of salt.. It does not ACTUALLY level the playing field. Accademics are indeed very important to the decision process. It is very very possible to have an outstanding interview and still end up getting rejected.

 

[IndyZX]

well you may as well explain yourself after making a comment like that

envision me lying on the floor, whining like a little baby at my post-secondary "silence" from UTSA. that'll just about cover it.

ignore me.

i can picture the whining part just fine

so you didn't get an interview...it happens to a lot of people. no need to be bitter.

and for the record, it's "UTHSCSA"

Also haven't heard back from UTSA and I have A LOT of extracurricular/healthcare stuff. I think it has to do with my high GPA as well. It's honestly the only thing that I can think of, and yes, I'm getting agitated as well.

shouldn't you be studying?

 

[AsianDoc816]

Okay, honestly, I'm not a cocky or stuck-up person. I'm just trying to understand why I've heard back from almost all of the other schools and not San Antonio. Maybe I've been listening to rumors or I've been influenced by what Indy has said. I'm trying to make sense out of something that I shoudn't be making sense of. I'm sorry if I offended you or anyone else, but I'm just really worried because I'm interested in San Antonio, especially since others have said how much they enjoyed interviewing there. So I'll offer this instead: I'm probably just an average applicant, and they can't interview everyone, so I'll just get over it. I'm just a little hurt right now....shouldn't have posted what I did 🙁 Have had a LONG day of research/class/work....and this is just upsetting me more....

I don't remember when you guys were processed, but it could still come.....I was processed on 7/21 and my letter from SA hasn't came yet. I just found out I got an interview when I was called asking about my LOR's that TMDSAS said they sent but none of the schools have received yet.

So don't give up on SA yet.

No offense taken, Asian Doc! 😀 Keep your chin up and good luck!
