they don't usually look at OOS until September. so yeah pretty much when a lot of spots are already taken. it might still be good to get the app in since they might look at OOS in order the apps came in. total guess here though
I would still apply as early as possible though. Chances of them looking at you still higher if you're earlier than others.

I chose the option to have the letter from my dentist be included in my committee letter and it was finally uploaded today. It says the status is received but my dentist letter says not received. It looks like they'll verify my dentist letter is in my committee letter at some point, is that correct?
I believe the schools do. I emailed the schools individually about a class I wasn't sure about and they replied pretty quick
I'm pretty sure it means financial, familial, or other personal hardships that debilitates your quality of life.
If I can recall correctly, there's some box to put the dentist's name and some option that says that you'll be submitting the dentist's LOR with the committee letter.
I submitted mine on to all 3 on July 3rd. A&M got back to me on the 5th and I've heard nothing from the other 2.

I believe it does not matter. My friend who got an interview at one of the Texas dental schools let me know that during interviews they made an announcement to the out of state students stating that their chances of getting accepted are very slim. That does match with the information they shared during campus tours I have attended. Since all three schools are public they are allowed to accept up to 11 out of state students. I believe the stats from last cycle were :
Texas A&M 4
UTHouston 3
UTSCA 3
No, I have not. They are the only school to still not get back to me with an email like A&M and Hou.
When was your application transmitted?
Yeah you just wait. It will tell you your stuff is complete and then there's silence for several weeks, then you just get an email out of the blue.
In my experience, Baylor is the quickest to invite for interviews, but they plan them super far into the future in the beginning, like a month.
Do the schools not send an email saying they've at least received your application? TAMU did for me, but that's it. What about the other?
They will. Baylor was the fastest one but the other two will send you a similar email.
And I will say (just so no one freaks out like I was!) that for me they were super slow. At least 1-2 months slower than the other two for interview invite.
Did they send you an email when your primary application was processed or fully complete?

My application was fully completed when it was transmitted to the schools. Which was on July 3rd. Then A&M got back to me the 5th and then both UT schools today (July 12).
I submitted my application June 6. Since my last post, I received an email yesterday from San Antonio (July 12) stating they got my application. Have you heard back yet?
Yup same day as you saying they got my application.
Does anyone have an idea of when interview requests will start being sent out?
Last year, they started sending invites about a week from now, so if it's like last year, you might start hearing from the 21st.
Usually the 3rd or 4th week of july is when the first invites are sent.
Getting an interview at a TX school would be a dream come true....the cheap tuition beckons...Counting down the days till I get that email
Yes

For people that have been through this before, is the month+ lag time normal for the app to be transmitted? According to the TMDSAS twitter, they were still working on June 16 applications as of yesterday. Seems like a long time for verification. At this rate, most people submitting in July won't be seen by the schools until mid-August.
Are you reapplying? With those stats you sound like a sure in for a Texas spot!
You can for Baylor for sure but not San Antonio. Don't know about Houston
Slowest process on earth.
Agreed. :/

Congratulations on hearing back, although it does seem really early. I agree, I also thought the same.
So invites are finally going out!?
Seems like it, I got an invite from UTSD today.
Awesome! Congrats and good luck!
You can check by clicking on the status tab. It will give you a date when they received your score.
Ahh I see. Thanks!
