*~*~*TMDSAS 2019*~*~*

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Hey guys, I had a quick question. I submitted my application on May 30th and all 3 Texas schools have emailed me saying that they have received my application. The only issue is my committee packet just got sent in today. Is my application considered submitted in May or today in August? Thanks!

I’m also in the same situation, submitted 5/31, supporting docs filtered in for a month or so after. DAT scores received 7/20, and last transcript received 7/23. What do they considered early applicant? Day you applied or day your file is completed?
 
Just got an interview invite for UTHSC San Antonio! OOS!
 
Yes, I did!

That is very interesting, because the instruction said that in state students should submit TMDSAS while out of state students should submit AADSAS. well it works! congrats for your interview invitation!

Thanks! I found this on the TMDSAS website, so I think either is fine for OOS applicants.

Hun, Their class size is 103. That can't be true
My ADEA handbook says 308 interviewed and 103 matriculated, instate and OOS combined.
I am at Houston right now and 167 were offered acceptances to get to 103 matriculants
 
Hey guys!!!!! Has anyone been to Houston and/or A&M's interview yet? If so how was your experience?

Anyone has an idea of the average verification time right now?

It took me about 3 weeks to verify when i submitted on july 16. Tmdsas transmitted my application to texas schools on august 7.
 
Heads up for any OOS applying to San Antonio, they have a strong predilection for students from BYU.
 
Question, I am planning on retaking my DAT.

I already submitted and applied with the one I have back in June. At the time I didn't plan on retaking the DAT but now I am leaning towards it. Do you all know by when should I submit my new DAT scores? Does the Oct. 1 deadline still apply? Sorry if this question is dumb. Thanks.

Has anyone interviewed at Texas A&M? If so, how was your interview? What questions did they ask?
 
Can anyone give me some insight on San Antonio’s interview? What types of questions were asked? Thanks in advance!

Interviewed last year. Some people had very casual interviews that were more like get-to-know you conversations. Other people got grilled with pretty tough questions like “why should we take you over another applicant?”. Just depends on who you get.
 
Does anyone know if UT Houston updates the status from application complete to under review on AADSAS?
I'm oos currently but am an alumna of UT Dental. When do they start reviewing oos applications?
Thanks

I'm an OOS and applied using TMDSAS, but they started reviewing OOS apps couple months ago since the first interview invites for OOS were sent out in August.
 
Off topic slightly, does anyone have admissions stats from last year's acceptance pool (Class of 2022). I was wondering what the most up to date GPA/DAT scores were for last year's entering class. Thank you in advance!

Stats for SA's c/o 2022
3.62 oGPA
3.53 sGPA
20.4 AA
20.6 TS

Other interesting details:
5 OSS-4 from Utah 1 from CO (not too sure if that's correct)
gender: 49 female, 51 Male
age: 20-32, 5 over 30
ethnicity: 38 Caucasian, 4 African American, 30 Asian, 27 Hispanic, 1 other
 
Couldn't find this anywhere so thought I'd throw it out here: if you update your planned enrollment after you've already submitted your TMDSAS application (I spontaneously started an MS in Biology), do you also need to update your College CourseWork as well? Thanks!

How are your ECs? URM? Non-trad? Similar stats for me and i haven't heard anything. TAMU is the only school I can go to! :nailbiting:
 
For those who have received interviews, did you get the email in the morning, mid-day, or afternoon? Just wondering if there is any consistency.

I interviewed at Houston around this time last year, then San Antonio at a late January interview and then for the post-bacc program at Dallas.
 
Any other non-traditionals who still haven’t heard anything? Hoping I’m not alone 🙁
 
Does anyone know how the schools feel about applicants emailing updates?

Are you traditional or non-trad?
 
Does anyone know what time(ish) the schools send out the first round of acceptance offers tomorrow? Are we talking 12:01 am or more of a 8:00am type thing?

Depends on the school. Some send them out at midnight, others send them out around 7 am.
