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

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
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?

According to last years threads, SA and Houston sent emails at midnight, while A&M sent out emails around 7 am.

Me getting back on SDN and reading these new threads. Wow.

Gosh this thread is so small compared to previous years :laugh:. Congrats to all that got accepted!:banana:

Yeah, what's up with that? The 2015 thread was at 15 pages by this point. Congrats to the acceptances and interviews! Best of luck to those still waiting, I know how traumatizing this whole process can be. :laugh:
 
I applied to all 3 Texas schools as a Texas resident and haven't heard anything, rejection or interview invite. Have any in-state applicants received rejections? I know they still give out interviews throughout January, but I'm starting to get a little discouraged🙁...

I’m also in the same boat as you:/ no rejection but no interviews.
 
Same here. I know they sent a few rejections from A&M, but it sounds like OOS applicants only.

Same... a while back Janet Pledger sent me a personal email from TAMU asking for unofficial transcript to update my record which gave me hope that they were interested. But I still haven't heard anything from any texas schools 🙁
 
I submitted my deposit to UTSA, but i have not heard anything from the school yet. Is there anything i have to do?
 
Same here. I just received a confirmation email for the deposit payment. I'm going to call them to see if I need to do anything further. I know they want you to give them shot records and financial aid application etc.

Yes I got the confirmation email for the payment and that was it. Please let us know what the school says! I would love to get shots, look for housing and etc.
 
Has anyone’s grades in the coursework section been updated after submitting a new transcript? It says that they’ll do it for you, but I sent a new transcript 3 weeks ago and my grades for my fall courses still say not yet reported.

They said as of right now all you have to do is just pay the deposit fee and apply for FAFSA. In terms of applying for FAFSA, faster you apply the better because they give out financial aid based on first-come-first-serve. She said that everything else like background check and shot records, etc don't happen until around March, so not to worry about them yet.
 
For those of you waiting on second round of acceptance for Texas A&M, they said it won't be until around the end of February, "at the earliest".

Today by email. According to last year's thread the second round did go out Early February, but looks like this year is delayed a bit.

Congratulations! If you don’t mind me asking, how was your stats? How many hours did you have when you applied?

Thank you! What did you mean how many hours?
as in how many hours of course work. I applied with 6 hours of course work while I was taking 12 hours in fall 2018. I had to update my transcripts right after my Fall 2018 grades got updated so that I would have at least 18 hours of course work for them to see it.
 
Does anyone know if you have to update TMDSAS with your last transcript if you already updated the school you will be attending? I got an email saying I had to but wasn’t sure why?

You have to

I only had 3 hours of course work when I submitted my application and I was taking 18 during fall. Because we had some 6 weeks classes, I updated my transcript as soon as I got my grades for those. I also sent another one after fall semester. My DAT was 24 AA, 23 TS, 3.75, and 4.0 Master. Hope it helps 🙂
