Just FYI: I was told by the UTSW admissions office that at this point no movement has been made on the alternate list, instate or out of state. Of course, this is expected. Just passing it along.

i'm hoping for major southwestern/baylor movement cause it seems like a lot of kids are holding acceptances at both schools. let the waitlist trickle begin and let it not end until we are all in med school.
I heard today that a friend of a friend was accepted at San Antonio yesterday...It looks like things have started...
So are we in agreement that UTSW has not "ranked" their waitlist? There has to be some ranking, right? Even if they don't tell us our relative positions, the probably have some type of ranking that only they are aware of. Here's to more AMBIGUITY and SHADINESS...
Has anyone heard anything lately?

I asked Karen Davis at UTSW earlier this week about waitlist movement. She said there's been none so far. I don't know if they just don't have any spots to offer up yet or if they're in the process of deciding who to call from the unranked waitlist. The wait this week has been excruciating.

Does anybody else get the feeling that all (or at least nearly all) the TMDSAS schools have overaccepted by more than they would normally overaccept. i mean i know there has been drops of waitlist movement here and there (like ut-houston and san antonio) but i get a real bad vibe this year. sorry to sound negative. its still early in the process obviously but the vibe is very bad.

Yah, I'm getting the same vibe. I'm already working on next year's application.

Let's talk about the schools, how they handle waitlists, and what to expect.
I just called all the schools that I want info on their waitlists.
A&M: I'm on their waitlist
UTSA: won't come out until end of Feb
Texas Tech: Will come out on the 10th
UTSW: I'm on hold.no wait ring ring, on hold again. ring ring. "Hi can you hold" on hold again. ring ring, on hold again. "call back monday"
What we can do now is call A&M, find out if you are on the wait list. Remember that their school is small and their list is small. So if you are not on their waitlist, you may be on another school's waitlist.
Let's start a waitlist list.
UTSW
UTSA
UTH
UTMB
TT
A&M
LEDevolld, rank(UTSW>UTSA>TT>A&M) 0/4 baby! yeah!!!!!!
TCOM

my utmb waitlist letter says that june 1 is the date when they will cut off people on their waitlist who already have a spot at another school.
i assume that applies for the other texas schools as well? can anybody confirm or deny this?
doesn't this dramatically decrease the level of waitlist movement since the only kids who will be accepted off the waitlists at this point will be kids who don't already have a spot at another texas school?

just got in at utsa
Congrats to everyone getting in off TX waitlists! That's great!! 
Hey everybody!
I just received an offer from UT-Houston via snail mail today, and I intend to accept.
I'll be declining the seat at TCOM pretty quickly!
I know waiting is tough, but be patient - and hang in there, guys!
Best wishes,

Congratulations...I hope that I can say the same thing soon!
Just a quick question... Did you receive an email before the acceptance by snail mail?
dancer75088 said:
Nah - it caught me completely by surprise. I didn't have any e-mail contact with the school prior to the certified letter (dated May 30th) that I received on Friday morning. I hope you hear something soon! 👍
Just wanted to let everybody know that a spot just opened up at Houston (as of yesterday). I withdrew from Houston to accept at OHSU. That's good news for the next person in line! Good luck to everyone else on waiting lists!
