Did anyone get pulled off the waitlist yet?
When did you interview?Congrats! Still waiting here.
That's a lot.. I hate this game of not knowing where my rank is...I called TCOM yesterday and they said they had handed out 12 acceptances FYI for those of us who are on the waitlist
Mid-October. Waitlisted in February. This was my only interview so I'm hoping to get in but prepared to give it another go.When did you interview?
I wonder how many people they pulled off yesterday?
Yea.. same here. Sigh.. guess I should start preparing to re-apply again.Mid-October. Waitlisted in February. This was my only interview so I'm hoping to get in but prepared to give it another go.
Don't think there has been any major movement yet. A trickle of 2 or 3 (maybe), but that's it.WL movement? Anyone who got accepted off WL not accept?

Wow!!! So there is no big movement at all this year? That's kinda crazy.Don't think there has been any major movement yet. A trickle of 2 or 3 (maybe), but that's it.
There was a big group 3 maybe 4 weeks ago, but that's it so far.Wow!!! So there is no big movement at all this year? That's kinda crazy.
Ohhh... Big as 30+? Or 10+?There was a big group 3 maybe 4 weeks ago, but that's it so far.
My timeline was off. It was back in early May and that is the last one I am aware of. I would guess 15? But I really have no idea.Ohhh... Big as 30+? Or 10+?
I'm accepted to a school in NY but I would rather stay here.. I've not even started to look for housing in NY yet because I thought there would be more movement.
Gotcha!!!My timeline was off. It was back in early May and that is the last one I am aware of. I would guess 15? But I really have no idea.
Nice! What wat were your extracurricular activities?c3.69 s3.5 26 MCAT
I'll pm you.Nice! What wat were your extracurricular activities?
Do you think they look at fall grades if you have not been accepted early?
July 13-17Just curious, when's orientation?
If people didn't go to orientation, then they wouldn't be able to attend the school?July 13-17
Thank you!It's mandatory except by special permission of the dean. (Orientation is a huge deal in the world of medical education and training, e.g. hospitals will not let you rotate without orientation.)
Can I ask for your stats. and extracurricular if you don't mind? When did you apply?Plan B is reapply. I already have most things in and am ready to go again. Most of my time is spent either checking my status every 5 minutes or scribing...
UT Galveston pulled 30 people from their waitlist recently or overall throughout this cycle...?
The score report you receive after each exam is thorough enough to get a pretty good idea of what topics you need to improve, and usually you even have a pretty good idea of what the question was. The point of not allowing everyone to see the exams afterwards is to prevent the never ending grade grubbing and arguing that would take place between students and administration, and even amongst students since you will have those one or two people arguing about semantics and trying to get a question dropped while everyone else in the class got it correct. This wouldn't be a big deal if we didn't test frequently, but since you will have an exam about every 2 weeks, this can start to get really annoying, and it eventually becomes nice to just get a score and move on to the next one without the distractions of looking back.
Historically, there has always been people who at the very last moment, even during orientation, who disappeared because they were accepted somewhere else. TCOM starts earlier then everywhere else, so this is just the name of the game. There was at least one or two people who started on the 2nd day of orientation.
Would I bank on this? No, but for some, some hope is better then no hope.
July 13thWhen's orientation start?
Although I did not apply here, this is probably the worst message I read in a long time....I just called TCOM today. They told me that they would not give out any more acceptance offers this year. It's a wrap guys.
Created this account just to let everyone know that it's not over yet, I got the call off the waitlist at TCOM yesterday afternoon and I start orientation on Monday. TCOM can and has pulled people off the waitlist all the way up through the first day of class (July 20th). Also for any current or former MedSci's reading this post, you do not need a 4.0 in the program to get an interview or admission to TCOM, just avoid getting C's in any classes and try to stay above a 3.5
