your tmdsas was likely pretty late (doesn't it open in april-may?)
i would've recommended a much different OOS list too

trust the process...

Thanks for responding! Where do you think I should have applied OOS? I mainly used path32 to see where Texas residents mostly get accepted.

Also, I believe it opens in late May, but I was scheduled to take my DAT on July 11th, so that is mainly the reason as to why I submitted more on the later side...

mountain/central/midwest schools closer to texas

but if path32 told you that's where texans get accepted, i cannot argue with that...

i would've recommended submitting tmdsas/aadsas on opening day without your dat...

 

[jessss212]

At the time I was also a bit busy because I was doing an internship, taking summer classes, working full-time, and studying for the DAT, but now I regret not submitting it earlier. Do you think that this will really affect my chances of getting an interview? I assumed that before August was considered early, but now I am not so sure...

it will affect your texas schools, but not your aadsas schools...

Only thing I suggest is getting more community service outside of your place of worship, but we'll just have to wait. Get the UDM interview! If you are Muslim, UDM will have a very friendly student and patient community that you will connect with.

Do you think that my community service is not sufficient enough? I can spend more time at the animal shelter, or do you recommend that to have more experiences on my application? also thank you for responding!

I don't know more than what you wrote. Who comes to the community meals?
