So, on Tuesday do we get an email from TMDSAS, the Medical School we are matched at, or just log on to TMDSAS to find out?
Thanks

My understanding is that the results will be posted online at or around 8 AM. There will be no email from TMDSAS.
Additionally, the schools learn the results of the match on Tuesday morning as well, and proceed to send out emails sometime later in the day.
Not a lot of definite information there, but hopefully that helps.
Nope its not over!!! DOn't give up Hope. There will be changes to the waitlist over the next couple of months so they might contact you if they see huge movement in their waitlist. Good luck to you.

Yes, we need some news from uthscsa...is there a alternate line? who is on that list? is there chances to get picked up? with the currenct a&m situation we need other schools to pitch in. a&m matches need some alternative plans to keep hope alive.

that's right. I even talked with A&M and they refuse to take responsibility. They flat out told me to go deal with the schools on my own if I want to go somewhere else. They've really disappointed me, way to take responsibility for their own mistakes

Hello all, I was wondering if anyone matched to San Antonio but is choosing to go elsewhere?

I called admissions on the first, they said that the alternate list wouldn't be available until mid-february. I'm guessing you have to call in to see if you are on it. They also said that they wouldn't start pulling people off it until March... BUT I was looking at last year's thread and it doesn't look like anyone got accepted off the waitlist until late may or early june, probably because the AMCAS decision deadline isn't until May 15.

I have a friend who interviewed on the last interview day, then got a pre-match offer 10 days later.

I was at the Dec. 13th interview and Dr. Jones had also mentioned that it was too late to dole out any pre-match offers. So, I guess they do offer acceptance that late in the season if they feel that someone awesome might slip away.

I guess you could call or write to admissions and ask? I don't see why they wouldn't give you a straight answer. This probably doesn't help answer your question, but I interviewed at San Antonio and received the alternate list e-mail this afternoon.
I received an alternate list email also despite having received an acceptance via match to a school I ranked higher. Did this happen to anyone else? I thought you automatically withdrew from a school if you matched to a place you ranked higher.

I did not receive the email. I did pre-match here though. I also pre-matched at a&m and stupidly ranked it higher. I guess thats why i didn't get the email. grrrrr

This is crappy news for people who actually want to go to this school - to find out they are on the waitlist with a bunch of other people who matched higher and do not want to go here. It seems like it will unnecessarily delay the process of getting a late acceptance offer.
I agree, I already emailed asking for my name to be withdrawn from the alternate pool at UT-SA. I was wondering if there was anyone else this happened to mainly because I'm a little concerned with the possibility of TMDSAS botching my rankings and perhaps pulling my application from a school I ranked higher on my list(UT-Southwestern) than the one I matched to(UT-Houston).

so realistically speaking, if you are on the alternate list, do you have a decent chance of getting in at UTHSCSA? how does their waiting list compare to other schools? And how do they decide being that they have no ranking system?

No, I don't think they would do that. I think the error is that the schools are keeping you in the alternate pool if you did not match, regardless of how you ranked them compared to other schools. Remember, the schools have no idea how you ranked them. I don't think the error is that TMDSAS switched the process around, dumping you from all your higher ranking schools and keeping you in the running for your lower ranked schools.
I mean, they're ridiculous, but not that ridiculous... Right?

got the alternate pool e-mail yesterday
I'd like to try and clarify something for us OOS applicants...
What does it mean for us if we were not offered an acceptance prior to the in-state match? At this point, if we haven't been accepted, does that mean we've been "silently" rejected at this point and just have to wait for the official notification? Or is it still possible to be accepted as an out of state applicant at this school after the match? I interviewed last fall and have not received any notification of my status (acceptance, rejection, alternate, etc.)
Thanks for your insights in advance.

Did you have an interview?
Yes, sorry I should have said that. My question was about those of us OOS applicants who interviewed, but haven't heard anything back since. Is it still possible for us to be accepted at this point, now that the match has happened?

I called a couple of weeks ago about OOS applicants who have interviewed and not been accepted yet. The lady I spoke with said that it IS possible to be accepted, but they do not put us on an alternate list and that the waitlist is made later. She said that they will keep notifying people about open spots up until the day before classes. Sheesh.
If I dont hear from them by March (and I doubt I will) I will try writing a letter to Dr. Jones.

So the best we can hope for now is to be put on the waitlist?

OOS - just got accepted on Wednesday over the phone. I don't have the biochem requirements so I was told to enroll in an online class through some new england school...I've got 9 weeks to complete a recommended 13 week course, which I will gladly do!
