If you're out of state and have not gotten an interview, you've been rejected.
I called admissions at Texas A&M and that's what they told me.
Guess my GPA, DAT and ECs didn't mean much to them.

Sorry to hear that man. Does this info only apply to OOS applicants?
I'm in state and haven't heard back from any of the 3 yet... applied in early July with (what I think are) decent stats...
Yeah only for OOS. I was told that they invite over 200 IS applicants but only 25 or fewer OS applicants. They take OS applicants in the single digits.

I agree with @Azide047
When I applied, I didnt hear a peep from SanAntonio and that was what they told me at this time of the month.

If someone turns down an offer in December, is that admissions offer immediately sent to the next person in line or do the schools wait for the 30 days to be completed?

I believe they waited after 30 days period.
Yep 30 days. The second round of acceptances will be sent in January/February.

For Baylor it's not important. As long as you have all the pre reqs and your bachelors degree done by the time you start D1 they don't care.Does anyone know how important it is to complete planned coursework if accepted to a Texas school (particularly Baylor and San Antonio)?? I listed 9 hours of post-bacc coursework for the spring that are not pre-requisites, and it sure would be nice if I didn't have to take them

I would wait until you're accepted, and then call and ask them.

I'm really not nervous, which is making me feel weird. I feel like i should care a little bit more but i just don't?

I'm sort of in the same boat. I was advised to take some sort of science class next spring during my A&M interview because I am in my gap year. Dr Miller said that it looks better when for me when it comes time to make a decision about me. I'm currently signed up for a class in the spring, hoping I land an acceptance from A&M

She said the same thing to me last cycle (I was also in a gap year as well). I didn't take any additional courses and it was fine. If I hadn't gotten an acceptance on Dec 1st I probably would have considered it though.
Nice. I am debating whether I should drop it if I do get accepted or not.... I know it probably won't matter, I just don't want to seem like a guy who doesn't do what he says lol. But I also don't want to pay $1500 for one class
Any advice?

1500 yikes.😱
I would wait until Thursday and see if you get an acceptance from them. If so I would just drop the course as long as it isn't a pre req or something. Just call Mrs. pledger and let her know before you do it though. Historically they're really lenient about it.
Just as an FYI A&M doesn't rescind acceptances lightly. You have to do something really terrible to get an acceptance revoked lol.
Congrats. Wow, it's nice to see Houston give more than a month in advance notice.

I think that's because of 3 weeks of winter break.
Jan 3rd is the first day when we come back.
Yeah I had a feeling it was probably due to winter break since the last interview i saw for houston was on dec 6!
Interview #3
UT Health San Antonio
Interview date: December 12th
DAT: 19 AA
GPA: 3.55 and science GPA: 3.55

Congratulations!! When did they receive your application if you don't mind me to ask?

On planned coursework, like Advance said, A&M suggested my wife take a few more advanced biology/science classes. She put them on her planned work, but never took them... worked out fine.
Good luck everyone! I really can't believe Dec 1 is already here...

Anybody hoping they get rejected by one of their top 2 so the choice is easier?
More like hoping to get accepted into both so you have the option to choose lmao
Congratulation. Did you get invited to Houston and Texas A&M, too?

Really relaxed, one long interview with a faculty member 45 min - 1 hr. They ask you specific questions from a sheet, the interview feedback on sdn is rather representative. "Three words to describe yourself" "three words to describe why you like dentistry" "describe an ethical dilemma you solved". Lots of room for off topic conversation in the interview.
Since December 1st is right around the corner, I know Dallas (A&M) and I'm pretty sure that San Antonio release their first round acceptances at 12:01 AM on Dec 1st. That's tomorrow past midnight.
Can anyone tell me when Houston releases? I heard that it's at 7 am but does anyone have insight?

Baylor did theirs a little different. All the emails didn't come all at once. It started sometime around midnight and finished around 1am.

An hour later.
Anyone know about the timing of acceptances

Usually late January for the 2nd round. Not sure about the 3rd.

When would interviews go out for the 2nd round? Sometime around now, or a few weeks into December??
From what I've heard, the first round acceptances have about a month to decide then there are subsequent rounds of acceptances starting in January that go out about every two weeks. At least, that is my understanding from what Houston said during their interview day
Typically Texas schools don't interview past late January. When they have 2nd,3rd and 4th arounds of acceptances they choose from the applicants that they have already interviewed. The last interview date for UTHSCSA last cycle was 1/25 houstons was 1/26 Those invites either go out before the Christmas break or early January right after the break. If applicants don't have an interview by late January that's when rejections go out. As @simplydds said after the 2nd round they send out acceptances more frequently to try and fill the class.
Jan 10
Thanks! Any idea on how they do their acceptances?
