Do these admissions office people do some kind of pinky swear thing when they are hired on? Definitely thank you Valtry. I can't dog on those who are holding multiple spots at maybe a TMDSAS school and 1 or more AMCAS schools cause in way you've earned the right to hold those spots for awhile. But for those of you who have dropped wait spots or even admit spots because you've made up your mind already, my props to you. now you will have till august to just chill and get ready for med school.txkiwieyes said:God Bless You Valtry!

I am getting $1500 back!!!!!!!!!!! WHEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did it give your their code? Would you mind posting it? There were quite a few codes posted in our original thread and I don't know which is correct.true blue said:
I got the code off of the FAFSA brouchure they gave us in the financial aid packet. I think is EE00098 or something like that. I will check when I get home and post it tonight.SFAJess said:Did it give your their code? Would you mind posting it?

Thanks!!
TAMU wasn't showing up for me and the code somebody else had given was for the Dental school.drsungoddess said:

I spoke with the admissions office this afternoon and she said letters were mailed last Monday. She also said that the pool was not ranked and was made up of approx 100 names. (I am a parent that is sweating it out with their applicant and thought this info might be helpful)D_LOVE said:
thanks for the much needed info! I wonder if they will tell you if you're on the waiting list at UT-H if you call and ask... but i'm to nervous too call...drdljd said:
You are welcome! I didn't ask about names on the list --since I'm a parent I thought that would be pushing it a bit too far - I'm probably already TOO involved! But what's a mom to do?txkiwieyes said:thanks for the much needed info! I wonder if they will tell you if you're on the waiting list at UT-H if you call and ask... but i'm to nervous too call...
Thanks for posting that. I know some people are anxiously waiting to hear from UT-H on this thread. In light of this information, surely some Houston peeps must have received the letter by now.drdljd said:
I live less than 10 miles from the school and have not received a letter positive or negative from UTH.true blue said:
Jess, I'm sure you've already figured this out but just in case, the TAMU FAFSA code is E00998.SFAJess said:
. Some of you may sleep easier (whatever that is ). [/QUOTE]I am amazed at how much wine I am able to consume these days. I probably shouldn't be admitting this on a public board, but what the hell! I actually made it to 4 glasses on Monday night.kilppy said:
Well, I was also doing my taxes so I figured I deserved it anyway. I'm just really glad my job is a busy one. It helps keep my mind off of things (well, sort of )
I'm so glad you brought up that MPH thing. Yes, I was a little offended. That, and I already have my MPH so I just ignored the letter anyway. A letter like that makes people think that going the MPH route will better their chances. It obviously did not help me very much. It's really all about numbers. That's the bottom line.getunconcsious said:
15 days from the date on the letter is around the end of this month. When do you think they will have the actual count on the waitlist? March 15?thehopeful said:
I think, from what hopeful is saying, and from Jess's post, is that people on TAMU's TMDSAS list who did not match to their school are all receiving this letter. In other words, there are some people, i.e. getunconscious and someone else (can't remember), who matched elsewhere (probably a higher choice). The thing is, I think we assume that TMDSAS or the school removes those people who were on the list but matched at their higher choice. I do not think this is the case. I am beginning to think that TAMU just sent a letter to everyone on the TMDSAS list who did not match with them at all. This sucks because what if someone who ranks and gets into their top choice decides to stay on the TAMU list because he/she changed his/her mind about his/her rank list after the match? That would suck and totally defeat what TMDSAS says on their site about how the match works.kilppy said:

[/QUOTE]Thanks getunconscious! I am hoping for the best but preparing for the worst.getunconcsious said:Yeah, it doesn't make sense, I thought they closed your application at lower ranked places
Anyways trueblue, you're great, I hope that you get accepted! And just think, everyone who withdraws from the waitlist or declines their acceptance brings you that much closer
YAY to both the re-admission and another glass!kilppy said:

What classes are you planning on taking?
Good choice!kilppy said:

And now showing my age (or not?)...I am listening to Wham!, Guns-n-Roses, Culture Club, INXS, etc etc...
Waiting blows!
Or defer...other than that, yes, you got it!txkiwieyes said:I'm trying to get this whole waitlist thing straight... so the only way it's going to start really moving is if people who have already matched 1) decide not to go... or 2) go to Baylor or Out of State schools....
So does anyone know when Baylor starts accepting people?? (is there a match system in place for them)?? I think once we figure out a date that Baylor starts accepting folks... it will give us a good idea on when the lines are really going to start moving...
or am I all wrong and it doesn't work this way???
I guess I'm just an old soul. I am about to move to Johnny Cash.kilppy said:
