I was released sans interview (i.e. Rejected) on Jan 16th by UTHSCSA, UTMB, and UT Houston. Back in late December, I was released by Texas A&M.Which schools have released applicants so far?

For me, the exact same as Isha-san, above.Which schools have released applicants so far?
Is anyone here deciding between El Paso and Tcom. What's your decision currently?
I'm in the same boat...
Those are my only two texas options and it's definitely a tough call. Which way are you leaning?
If that is considered crazy, you are in good company at TCOMCall me crazy but most likely TCOM.
Me 5, or 6, or 7. I'm definitely hopeful but still looking at my options for next year. Feb 3 can't come soon enough!And 4....Interviewed way back in August. Been a terrible wait.
Does anyone know why my status still says "you have been invited for an interview" even though today is match deadline. Really nervous...
I did. I interviewed last week. Maybe my app is being reviewed but they just didn't get around to changing the status. Hope it's good news Feb 3.Did you already interview? If you haven't, I'd email Caroline and find out your true status.

My portal status changed from "Under Review" (yesterday) to "Application status is offline pending the results of February 3, 2014 medical school admissions match" (today).Since the deadline for schools to submit your rank was yesterday, can I assume that I'm 100% at least waitlisted if I'm still "under review"?
My portal status changed from "Under Review" (yesterday) to "Application status is offline pending the results of February 3, 2014 medical school admissions match" (today).
I don't know what either status means at this point. However, as along as the message doesn't slip into the passive past tense ("has been reviewed") I think we should remain optimistic.
It has disappeared for everyone because the change deadline has passed.When you guys login to tmdsas, are you still able to click the ranking button or has it disappeared for everyone until match results are released?
The "offline" status is the same for everyone. I have been accepted to TCOM, and have turned in my transcripts to them. However, my status says the same about offline status until Feb 3rd. I imagine this will change back when my pre-match offer is confirmed on Match Day (unless I match into TTech-El Paso).My portal status changed from "Under Review" (yesterday) to "Application status is offline pending the results of February 3, 2014 medical school admissions match" (today).

I feel like I need to be more specific about my previous question because I found a post from a previous year that is concerning me.
When I login to tmdsas I I can't even find an option to find my ranked schools (only tcom in my case). This sounds like bad news to me.
I think you're fine. I just logged into TMDSAS, and mine has disappeared as well. It was there late in the evening on Jan 21st. I think we just have to patiently wait until Feb 3rd. A new and hopefully, gloriously positive, category called 'Click to Go to School Ranking' will magically appear by 8:00 central time on Feb 3rd.
Glad to hear it! Good luck to you!!You made me feel so much better!
The only associated groups are Campus Bible Study Group (CBSG), Christian Medical Association (CMA), and Medical Association of Catholic Students (MACS). You can, however, start a student organization rather easily there. Here is some more information: http://web.unthsc.edu/info/200313/student_development/453/student_organizationsBTW, are there any other BYU grads or other LDS applicants here who have been accepted to TCOM?
If so, do you know if there is a club at TCOM for our faith or a spouses group? I haven't found one listed yet. (Yes, I know we have RS and EQ in our individual wards )

Thanks. The religious stats page was interesting.I understand there is an informal network. The BYU/LDS population must be non-trivial, owing to BYU being among the top feeder schools year after year.

The Masters in Premedical Science (MedSci program) is a Specialized Masters Program (SMP) that gives a student the chance to show schools that they are both fit and prepared for medical school. Its a pretty great program, starting off pretty 'slow' if you do not need the MCAT required coursework, but quickly accelerates to be pretty busy. The courses coincide with material taught at TCOM, which is why TCOM and the GSBS have the Bridge program set up for qualifying persons (for people who they like but they want to see if they can handle the rigors of medical school).Anyone know anything about the 1 year med sci program UNTHSC offers? Suggestions? When to apply? Looking at options in case I don't match on Feb 3.

MedSci honestly hasn't impressed me.
I know 3 people who did the program:
2 of them did well--and still did not get into TCOM. They are at other osteopathic schools.
1 did mediocre--didn't get accepted anywhere else--and I think is heading to the Caribbean.
I've also heard that Med Sci students get a guaranteed interview? Do they participate in the match? How does the whole process work? Are the people who come off the waitlist usually med sci students?

No guaranteed interview even if you have A's and B's. Seems like the people I know that have interviewed are >3.5 medsci gpa, but take that with a grain of salt since people don't share their gpa very much. We don't participate with the match exactly, but it's possible to match(I'm hoping for that). Most of the past Medsci's I've talked to from TCOM got in at some point after the match so I guess you could insinuate that medsci's get "priority" on waitlist. They have told us that the class is essentially competing with each other and not with the rest of the applicants, which is why we don't follow the match.
I was a medsci last year and I am currently a first year at TCOM. Last year, my understanding was that medscis aren't involved in the match process unless they interviewed at other Texas schools. A fair amount got accepted before the match, and a lot of us were accepted in May and June.
Last year I think interviews were guaranteed to those of us in good academic standing (no C's), but I could be mistaken. There are definitely no acceptance guarantees. I know of several people with 4.0s who were rejected. You really need to have a solid app in addition to a good medsci GPA to get a spot. That being said, I absolutely believe that the program was worth the time and money and I'm sure it helped me get in.
How late did they do interviews for your class?
