Hi hellOKiTTyrox,
I don't think you should give up hope yet.. most of the letters are not arriving at the same time.. give it a few days.. then maybe try to contact the schools.. I know Baylor said not to contact them till Dec. 8th if you haven't received anything by then.. and Houston..if you don't, maybe you should try to email the dean... well, I don't know about UTSA.. anyone? well, good luck and don't give up yet.. it's still early after dec. 1st

...Remember that Texas dental schools accept 260 between all three schools and interview about 300 (they interview the same pool so its not like 300 different applicants per school)...

Really? They only interview 300 people total? This seems like it'd be reasonable, but I just thought it'd be a much bigger number. Where'd you get this info?

 

[katdds]

Each school interviews about 300 people (not total for all 3).. I know Houston around 200 and something or maybe even 300 this year..Baylor around 300;

but the total number of accepted of the three schools is around 260 or maybe a little more than that.. cause i know Houston is expanding their class to about 70-75 this year, more than what they usually take (60-65); and Baylor and SA is still around the 90's ...

 

[Dr. Music]

Ok that seems more realistic. 300 seemed to be way too small a number to be the entire interview pool.

 

[tonydds]

Ok that seems more realistic. 300 seemed to be way too small a number to be the entire interview pool.

ok when i said all three school interview 300 i didnt meant total... lets say houston interview 260, baylor interviews 300 and SA interview 260 u would say that all three schools interview 820 people right? but thats not true because some people have multiple interviews. i had all three interviews that means that SA interviews 1 of me, baylor interview 1 of me, and houston interviews 1 of me but im going to only pick one school. so all three school interviews 1 person and accepts 1 person. so statistically all 3 schools interviews about 300 people of the same pool.

In the letter from San Antonio, it just asks if you accept or deny their invitation... when do they ask for the deposit?

 

[Underdawg]

For those that got into Baylor, any Scholarships? I got a little one for the first year.

[vipergts66]

you must be out of state...? if so...then...

 

[Utes]

They only interviewed 21 out of state students for 7 spots. Some of those spots go to applicants of states that have deals with Texas schools (I think New Mexico and Arkansas?).

I've got a Baylor interview in January.

 

[alkibiades]

New to the forum. Hi.

Just interviewed at Houston. Other than the initial presenter, it was pretty standard. Only one professor interviews you.

All the presentations were pitching research.

Good luck to all applying this year and congratulations to those already accepted!

[vipergts66]

hey texas peeps. anyone hear anything lately, whether it be interviews or acceptances?

I'm not sure when Baylor's next round is (any input from anybody who knows would be appreciated), but I know that Houston will be meeting again around mid-January to determine another batch of acceptances. So, I think that it is safe to say that you missed the second round of acceptances at Houston if you don't hear by the end of January.

2nd round for the Texas schools is usually around the 1st/2nd week of February. If you don't have an acceptance letter in hand right now, enjoy your holidays and wait another month. No need in stressing out.

hi
do you know if we can still fill out FASAF online if we cannot say for sure we are goin to school in the fall ? how does this work ? anyhelp thanks

 

[alkibiades]

tonydds, my application wasn't complete until September. No acceptances yet.

hellokittyrox, you can fill out FAFSA anytime. If you're applying for 2006 money (ie you're planning to start school in 2006), you'll need to apply as soon as you finish your 2005 income tax return. I'll be doing mine January 2nd...

hey--thanks slash, that is good to know.

fyi--it is true that houston has sent out another round of interview offerings for jan; i just received a letter a week or so ago.

lets try to keep this texas thread going.

 

[tinman831]

I just got an interview invite from SA this afternoon

Too bad it was accompanied by a rejection from Temple

 

[LG-dent]

Is there a way to see an estimate of the number of applicants that have accepted their Texas offers from the three schools? Even if it is on this website? I would love to see how the schools are filling up considering it seems that the same people received multiple offers.

 

[alkibiades]

LG, check the threads on "acceptance" and "attendance" for 2010.

 

[vipergts66]

anyone hear anything lately? i missed the first round with baylor and SA, interviewed early september. when is 2nd round?

First week of Feb. according to Slash a few posts above yours.

 

[hellOKiTTyrox]

for Texas, may I ask how your stats ? because for first round iknow aguy that had 3.75 GPA and 22 dat 20 pAT. and he got in all 3 schools just want to see what was good for 1st round and how the 2nd round people compare. thanks.

 

[LG-dent]

2nd Round in February?

If we have to make our choice by mid January. . . why would they make 2nd round applicants, which I believe there will be plently of spots available, wait until Feb? This seems almost mean.

do u htink it is because you get 45 days to reply, but not everyone get s a letter on december 1st. so example someone gets a letter marked for dec. 7th,then they would have an extra week than someone who got one the first day ? or am i not makeing sense ?

Hellokitty- I think you are right.

I just hate that people are having to wait until Feb.

 

[Uber-Arnold]

I have a quick question about the Texas schools:

I grew up in Fort Worth for 17 years. Then when I was 17 I moved to another state..I'm no longer a resident because I have been living in another state for the past 3 years.

I know it's hard to get into Texas schools if your not a resident, but would i have any advantage??

 

[alkibiades]

Sorry, Arnie. Every admissions staff person will quote you the residency restrictions verbatim.

If you really want to be a Texas resident for tuition purposes, you'll need to move here and not go to school for 12 months. Otherwise, you have to convince the harda$$ residency people that you didn't move here for educational reasons. I've heard that they will promote your residency status if you qualify for a certain amount [$1k for undergrad] of scholarships, though.
