Yes this is true. The first time I tried it the e-mail was incorrect and I got an error message stating it could not be delivered. They then sent out the appropriate acceptance email that worked for gmail users, etc. I think used that email and got no answer, but it did go through. I'll double check online to make sure it is correct.
Oh my god! SO sorry!
Haha no worries! Really hopping we hear in the next hour!
Best of luck. I'd love to see another koala on campus.
No, looking on the past forums, they typically release prematch around this time. I have not called for confirmation. Then again the adcom could always change when they want to release them.
Thanks
Miami Miller. Edit: false alarm on Cornell haha. They sent out faulty acceptances.
aw, boo to Cornell!Thanks
Yeah, in terms of rank it's virtually tied with UT Houston at around #56 in the nation. This is from US News 2011-2012 -

San Antonio is not far behind. The difference between 56 and 60 is not really significant, if research rank is one of your top requirements of course.
A&M and Tech are usually in the 80s IIRC, but honestly US News ranking should be at or near the bottom for factors to prioritize. Medical school education is extremely standardized. Your choice should be based upon where you feel you fit in and learn the best.
I think UTMB's major strength is that it gives you the freedom and time to explore different learning modalities to figure out what works best for you, so ultimately everyone's learning experience becomes very individualized based upon what they think works for them.
accepting an offer at a medical school doesn't mean you've committed to it. it just means there's a possibility you'll go there. the only reason to decline an offer pre-match is if there's no way you'd attend that school over the others you've been accepted to.
I'll probably call tomorrow to be sure, but this is what I thought. I just don't want to accept it and be taken out of match or something. It does state things like "plan to matriculate", etc etc
So you were accepted on Nov. 15 and you haven't logged in to accept the offer? It's been almost 5 weeks...
You might want to be careful because at the other schools I interviewed at, they only gave me 2 weeks to respond to the prematch offer. You should basically be saying yes to every school you prematch at regardless of whether you will or will not attend. It's not binding.
Accept the offer then rank UTSW first.
This was exactly what I was going to do. I've accepted the UTMB offer now that I've clarified with UTMB that it will not hinder me from ranking UTSW first.
So anybody knows anything about the second round of prematches? Patiently waiting
Tomorrow is the third Wed in Dec!! Early Christmas present maybe??man, I'm so hype. For the past 3 years on the forum, UTMB releases their second round pre-matching waves, typically on the Wednesday of the 3rd week of December. Plz Plz Plz. Expect me to spam my refresh button on that day !!!
Once I get an acceptance I'll drown myself in all the Bahama Mamas and Appletinis like there's no tomorrowMe irl
what does on hold for interview mean? Like "we'll interview later bc this person isn't as competitive"?I spoke with admin and they said if you have been under review for more than 3 weeks you've already been either given an II put on hold for rereview or rejected unfortunately
That's what it sounds like. Probably like borderline and very close to what they want, so they put you on the back-burner and pull your file when they don't get enough of the one's they wanted. Or you did make criteria but unfortunately they had a lot of other great applicants to invite that week, so they have to wait for another week.
