yeah im hoping some of the SDN hopefuls crew gets some good news tomorrow or friday.

I can't imagine how stressful this must be for you all, I'm sorry you have to go through it

 

[biochemgirl22]

Any news?

Is no one getting off of the waitlist this year? I give up...

Is no one getting off of the waitlist this year? I give up...

Last year UTSW waited until everyone was done dithering around and changing their minds and sent out 5 offers the last week of May. If I were a med school I would do that too

 

[biochemgirl22]

The Facebook group has only added like 1 or 2 people that look like acceptances within the past two weeks or so. This is so hard! Maybe they will surprise us with something tomorrow?

 

[SarahJones123]

I guess if anything happens, its gotta be tommo before 5pm for IS.

I wouldn't rely on the facebook group, people might have gotten in last December and just found the group now.

Is that right? Im trying to decide what to do with my life for the next year, so it would be cool if i knew when the final straw on med school will be, so i can start planning for vacays etc.

It is kind of strange that this is the first year (at least in the last four) that there’s been like NO posts of getting in off the waitlist at the end of May. I think the last waitlist post was like beginning of May

Congrats! Thanks for posting. Looks like they did send out a batch last night- you’re the only sdn person who posted otherwise I would have thought they didn’t even send any out

Facebook group went up by 8 people. I called admissions to ask if anymore offers are going out today and she said “the person who would know that is out of the office today” so I’m guessing that means no. Well chosen day off lol I’m giving up now. goodbye southwestern dream. It was fun while it lasted

 

[Countdown117]

I just received an acceptance here last night, but I will be declining the offer today, so another spot should open for one of you guys soon!!!

Sorry to hear but I'm sure you will be super happy where you got in so it's going to be ok

 

[idontknowwhatnametopick]

@idontknowwhatnametopick Random question but do you know whether we have to pay tuition per semester or per academic year?

You can choose. If you choose to split it into 2 payments there is a $20 charge (at least I think it's 20).

If any of ya'll are bored waiting for school to start, DM me. We're hiring an MCAT instructor for the summer in Dallas.

Anybody still on the waitlist heard anything back from the admissions committee about updates? They said they would send out an email in the spring with updates but I still haven't received any and I emailed them last Thursday and haven't received a response.

If you haven't heard anything I imagine you're still under consideration, but at this point if there are any more changes to the list of incoming students it would be MAYBE one person. Have you re-applied?

Yes I've already submitted my apps for the 2019 cycle, I figured there would be little or no movement from here on out, but I was curious to see what UTSW had to say.

Yeah just based on things I've heard unofficially said at school, there is very very little movement after June 1st. Sorry you're having to reapply, reinterview, etc, that's a ton of extra time, work, and worry.
