Not entirely sure if they still incorporate the Facebook group for applicants who have been accepted, but if so would those accepted mind sharing the number of people on the Facebook Group? Thank you!
Congratulations on your acceptance! If you don't mind me asking, what would you say was particularly unique about your app?
Thanks for the word of encouragement! I'm just worried that because I applied before you, they probably already went through my application and since I'm not hearing anything back but you did, then that means I'm either wait-listed or rejected. Just wish they'd let me know now lol oh welllll
Hey guys. Check yall's email. I just got accepted at 6:24 Central time
Congratulations! I wish you all the best on your future studies. Hopefully we see each other soon. Good luck XD
How early did you apply into the cycle if you don't mind me asking?Hello All,
I received my acceptance yesterday at around the same time as well. Good luck to all of you.
Similarly, my GPA was already really high, and my MCAT was a 505. However, I did not want to post here because I didn't want people to get anxious/nervous.
I applied very early in the cycle, had a couple of poster presentations, and graduated very high in my class.
Once again, please don't get distracted by those who already got accepted. I literally think I was in the first batch and they had a quick screen through of the applications just for first-round admission. I believe most notifications should be coming out later.
Your notifications will be coming out soon! I am praying all the best for all of you. You may reply back to this message if you have any other questions.

Nope, not yetCongratz! I wish you the best, too! Have you been looking at any apartments?
I've been trying to get some information on the University of Incarnate Word, but it's been a little difficult. They have a brand new DO program and their M.S. in Biomedical Sciences only had their first class this past year. It's a 1 year specialized program, so I'm calling them today to get some info. I think their apps close April 1./QUOTE]
Nope, not yet
Aww, drat. lol. I've looked too late and panicked way too many times before, so I'm not gonna make the same mistake this time, haha. Elan West 7th looks really nice! It's like a mile from campus. Wish there were nice places that are walking distance to campus, but I can't find any :/

Does anyone know if they send out acceptances daily or is it a batch once a week kinda thing?

From what I know, admissions will not touch an application until all of the required documentation has been submitted. However, I think it would be best to them directly to get an accurate answer. Best of Luck!Congrats to those who have already received an acceptance letter! I submitted my app the last week of Jan however 1 of my references who is an old professor of mine STILL hasn't sent in my letter I feel like that is stalling my app big time and it is making me really nervous, thinking about asking someone else for a letter. Do you know if they still look over your app even though you are missing 1 thing?

Don't quote me on it, but I think they are in small batches per week or so. I believe they have a group meeting like a few times a month. That is usually why a few people post at once when they get accepted.
Now that's what I remember hearing a few months ago, so I could be completely wrong. @bearonionlol said, call them. Pretty nice people.
They will give you the score during orientation that qualifies for opting out. I forget what the DAT score was (I want to say it was 19-20, but I'm not pre-dental, so I definitely did not pay attention during that part), but for the MCAT, you had to score above a 504 to opt out. That being said, if you're hovering right around the 504-506 range, it might be wise to go ahead and do the class and take the MCAT again, especially if you have a weak spot elsewhere in your application. We had some specific admissions counseling sessions early in the summer, and most students accepted to the Texas medical schools were scoring an average 510 on the MCAT.Does anyone know about the specifics of opting out of re-taking the DAT/MCAT? I know it says on their website that you can submit a request to opt out of the prep-class if you receive a certain score or above.
If I were you I would ask your old professor if s/he can submit it by tomorrow. If they can't then as a back up I'd ask someone else (like today!) if they could write a strong letter of recommendation for you even with the short notice. The worst that could happen is they say no, the best that could happen is you make the deadline (and get accepted ) The deadline of March 15th is quickly approaching plus Spring Break is coming up and you don't want the reason for not getting into this program to be a late LOR when you had everything else. Also, when I called at the beginning of February, I was told my application would not go to the Admission Committee until the application and all supporting materials were received and processed by their office. You might want to call/email them as well. I wish you the best!
I've been trying to send my transcripts to the school but they aren't receiving them... I'm sending it to the right address right?

Yes, that's the correct address. Are you mailing your transcripts yourself or did you request your schools to have them mailed to UNT?

Hope This helps
Yeah I think my boss is going to write me one. My professor just emailed me yesterday morning he was doing it and was gonna submit it. I checked my unt right now and on my to-do list under his rec letter it says "initiated". I think that means he submitted it but it just needs to be updated on the system right? I hope so!!! Thank you very much I wish you the best as well!

would those who were accepted mind sharing a little bit about your stats? gpa, mcat, who were your LORs, and what made your app stand out do you think?
CONGRATS! When did you apply?? I'm still waiting I applied Jan 19th and Everything said complete about first week of February.I was accepted on 02/27/17 and have till March 14th to accept the offer.
My cGPA is a 3.4 and MCAT a 508. As for my letters, I got the volunteer coordinator at the health clinic I work at to write me one and a professor that I research and work as a teaching assistant for. In regards to the application, I think my essays stood out the most, for example, I quoted Voltaire's opinion on knowledge for the essay that asked why I wished to pursue a higher education.

Congratulations, fellow classmate! Any idea what you are gonna do for housing?
Do you think if I email them they can give me information about my status about which pile I might be in? If I'm rejected, I would really like to know now lol Or should I not?
I don't think they'll be able to tell you until its official. I think if your application was rejected, they would've already contacted you by now.
You are only applying to this program?Thanks for your reply. I'm just so anxious and would rather find out if I'm rejected or not now so I can go ahead and think of a Plan B or something lol
Yes, I was thinking of applying to other programs but after thinking about it, I don't think I am lolYou are only applying to this program?
I applied Jan 8th and my app was complete Feb 1 and I haven't heard back yet either! A friend of mine applied Dec 9th and was in the first batch of acceptances so hopefully we will know soon!CONGRATS! When did you apply?? I'm still waiting I applied Jan 19th and Everything said complete about first week of February.
When I check my application status, it says incomplete. When I check the "to do" list, it says a bunch of things are initiated, including MCAT scores, both letters, essays, app fee, transcript, resume. I've submitted everything except the letters. Is this the case for everybody, or do I need to contact them and clear things up?
I would definitely CALL THEM NOW! I called them countless times in regards to my application in terms of what was causing it to not be filed as complete. I called to the extent that the lady remembered my name lol. They are very nice and will tell you exactly what needs to be done with your app to get it going. She gave me specific detail saying yes I saw your DAT score envelope in the mail so your app should be marked as complete within 24-48 hrs and it was. Call em I'm sure they will do the same for anyone.When I check my application status, it says incomplete.
