TEXAS Med Schools Entering Class *2005* Applicant Thread part 01

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I am going to make a list of people I have to call and when I find out. Some of the people want to know right away. I just don't want to call them if I don't get in.

I am kinda doing the same. I have a bunch of people who want me to call either way, but I don't think I'll be doing much calling if the news is ugly.

My parents are on a cruise this whole week too... Arg 😡 I want to relax too!
 
So can you folks still log-in to the big sib site or is it blocked? I tossed my interview letter. 😕

Oh, let's please not start this....but if you're dying to know, I think UTSW fixed the problem (meaning no one can get in at this point).

Everybuddy, good luck trying to get through the day! I have Biochem at 11 and lab from 2-5, so thank goodness I'll be busy until 5. I am surprisingly calm. Just remember this--we can't change anything now....it is all out of our hands at this point!

See ya laterz =) 👍
 
So have we nailed down exactly when the results come out on TMDSAS's site? Is it the stroke of midnight? Or do they flip a switch when they come into work in the morning?

It's supposed to be 12:01 tonight, but I've heard they sometimes put it up 30 minutes early.

I just want to email them and tell them I haven't slept the past two nights and that my stomach is killing me b/c I just want to know if I'm going to go to med school this year. Then I want to beg them to post it early b/c I'm sure they've known for at least a week and it's not fair to put us through this agonizing wait! Do you think it will work? 🙂 Probably not, they're here to torture us. 🙄

According to the people last year, it was apparently at the stroke of midnight, CST. I somehow don't have much hope for the servers that host this thing, and can just see it crashing for hours!!!!!! How terrible of a joke would that be if we all had to stay up till 6 AM refreshing the page.....
 
Good luck to everyone tonight/tomorrow am!

As someone who's a native New Yorker, I've found this match process fascinating!

I hope y'all get into the school of your dreams!

:luck: :luck: :luck:

After going to UT Austin for three years, I am used to staying up and refreshing. Whenever registration opened at 8AM, i was in there at like 7:30AM refreshing over and over, waiting for it to open. And classes STILL closed before I could type in mine. Oof... I loved transferring to UTSA for just that reason (among many other things).

I REALLY HOPE IT WON'T HAPPEN!!!
 
man, i slept a little too well last night. I'm really late for work, but I don't care 😀 Had an aweseome dream, mountain biking through houses and up and down stairs :laugh: . I guess I have a clear conscience, bring on the match!
GL everyone :luck:

I had a dream that I was in the EXORCIST movie. What do you think it means? 😕

I think that his UTSW question is perfectly accpetable. It wasn't too long ago that you were always posting about wanting to know why you hadn't recieved a San Antonio interview. Everyone was supportive each time you posted...even though some us didn't get interviews there and would have liked to.

So, give these people with UTSW questions a break already.

I had a dream involving Anna Kournikova, a can of whipped cream, and...


Whoops! Wrong thread. 😀



Morning, people. 🙂
 
Anyone in the TMC area want to have lunch?

Oh, and second Runner's comments. Let's keep it supportive around here, folks.

Morning, Runner. How're things?
 
Mornin' Evo. Things are goin' well.....just trying to keep myself busy today! You?
 
RangerD said:
No rejection letters in the mail yet and 14 hours to go... :luck:

There's nothing like a stack of 16 rejection letters! 5 of them arrived in one week's time. 🙁

The same. Had a good time this weekend. 🙂 We must do it again. Is there a plan for drinks tomorrow evening?

Sorry for being so unsympathetic. It's just that there were 10 pages on this topic (as well as that for Tech), and I don't know if I can handle any more conspiracy theories. I think I'll just keep off this page, for fear of saying something rude while everyone's emotions are flaring up and down....but I only meant it with the best intentions. Sorry.
 
May be we can meet today for happy hour... May be Rice Village? 🙂
 
RangerD said:

You're mail's already there? Wow.

FWIW, we can't have all matched into TAMU. I think that what it does indicate is that, at the very least, we were all on their rank submission to TMDSAS. That's pretty cool. 🙂
 
ilona said:

Or somewhere within walking distance for the TMC folks? Someone willing to drive?
 
EvoDevo said:
Good. How're you, TB?
I'm OK. I hardly slept last night and yet I am surprisingly wide awake now. Thank goodness it will be a busy day!

So I think Jess posted that TAMU was sending out accept/waitlist letters today. I bet they are already in the outgoing mail basket. 😱 :scared:

Sorry...random thought 🙂

What part are you from? I can see countless Psych majors doing their doctoral work on the effect of the TMDSAS match on aspiring physicians....hmm.... :idea:
 
MadameLULU said:
Morning all!

Think we can reach 6K by tomorrow? 😉


My thoughts exactly. :laugh:

That's about 300 in the next 14 hours.

22/hour.

~3/minute.

let's get goin, guys 😀
 
time seems to have come to a near halt.........wish I could just go back to bed and wake up later tonight 😴

Wow! Lucky you? My day seems to be speeding by. Actually, I don't know when the weekend came and went. Of course I will admit that with each passing minute, the knots in my stomach become tighter.

Is anyone else even a little bit afraid to check the results tonight?
 
wdarli said:

yeah for real...any other out-of-staters on this thread...i'm from Tuscaloosa, Alabama...ok 13 hours and 26 minutes to go...

Been reading here since Nov 04, but haven't posted at all.

I have a movie recommendation for today: Outland (1981)
the one with Sean Connery as the sheriff of space station...
kind of a take-off on High Noon, he's waiting for the
arrival of some hired killers on a shuttle from Earth...

and the clock keeping counting down...

.... only 13 Hrs 24 Mins to go....

Good Luck All!
 
oh i saw "the perfect score" the other day...it was pretty cool and funny, about stealing the SAT's from ETS...now only if we could steal the Match List from TMDSAS...holla!
 
Mornin' ya'll 🙂

I kind of can't believe today is the big day.

I also kinda don't want to know my results, fear of rejection I guess :scared:

OH well!!!

Good luck to everybody

wait....wouldn't that be like 1/3 minutes?
 
I am from out of state too, Oregon specifically. That means match is at 10 pm for me! But, I was going to be out bowling, so now I am trying to debate what to do... 🙄
 
Since schools have already started notifying interviewees of rejections, I say we all call TMDSAS and ask if they will post the results early.

OK, who's in? 😉

Go for it TB 👍

Just don't give them you name, they could be evil and hold you results longer just because they can

Good Morning all..just reading through the pages of posts that I missed over the weekend and I just wanted to say thanks for all the help I received on this board and I would definately be honored to have all of you as classmates. It has definitely been a trying and fun experience. Good luck to everyone.

Aww, AsianDoc, don't take it personally. I don't think they wanted to drive you off. Come on back, if you want!

I just think everyone should know that I just bent my thumbnail back and now it's bleeding. It's a sign of my match results!!! :laugh: :barf:
