As a philo major, you should see the major flaws in your argument.
Let's run through them:
a.) True, no arguments here
b.) It obviously had something to do with updating GPA because you yourself, and many others, said their GPA changed. If you go by my "Maybe those profiles which were updated are those who did not match and their grades are updated because UTSW no has to compile a ranked alternate list?" hypothesis, only those who submitted new transcripts would show a GPA change. If it didn't have anything to do with updating GPA, then your GPA wouldn't have changed.
c.) Sending the information of the rejected applicants only makes just as much sense as sending the accepted applicants. UTSW has to make an Alternate list, and having an updated alternate list would be better than an old list. If you were already matched to UTSW, they wouldn't need your updated information.
d.) Your sample size for the 1/2 and 1/2 argument is WAY too small and not even close to reliable.
e.) You really don't have any idea whether TMDSAS is finished with the match. We all assume it, be we don't know for sure.
Using your logic, my hypothesis is just as likely as yours. Does that mean I can say that the UTSW status change is 100% negative? No.
I appreciate the optimism, and I hope and pray that you are correct, but I will say it again, we really don't have any idea!
