Lizzidarden and petitea, I just sent it to both of you!

Join the FB page! Let me PM you the link!

Hi Peller13! They are pretty quick about accepting the request. The mods on the page are students, so they add us when they get a chance No one has received their packet yet, we'll probably get it around the end of November. I think we get the info. about the software either in the packer or orientation. On the other note: I applied and got accepted to both UTHSC and TWU. Like you, I heard from UTMB first, plus it was my top choice, so I accepted immediately and ended up just formally declining the other schools whenever I heard from them. I've been lucky enough to meet students from UTMB at my local coffee shop and they really love the college and say the professors actually care for the students. So, it concreted even more that UTMB was the right choice! Congrats BTW!

I'm so sorry awe009! I hope you will apply again or at least applied to other schools. Good Luck to you and all your endeavors.

:(Please do! I hope to see you in Fall 2013! Take care.Edit: or Summer 2013 for the accelerated track!

No, it's okay. I'm going to UTMB. The commute is easier for me where I live and they gave me a scholarship. Plus, I've made some connections with students currently attending, and I really like them. But I will say, one of my best friends is an alumni from UTHSC and she loved it. So, it wasn't a super easy decision, but I'm happy that I've was fortunate enough to have a decision. I have friends that have been rejected from all of their choices.

Hi all, I've turned down my acceptance, so those who are waiting or possibly wait listed, I hope it opens a seat for you. Best of luck!

Yah, I think the waitlist is still really good! I'm pretty sure That when people turn down UTMB, they turn to the wait list to fill the spot.

Thanks for that. Websites seemed to not be updated yet. They actually improved greatly, they were ranked #64 in 2011. That's a great improvement. Good for them.

I've actually already been accepted. :) I guess I just have an inquisitive mind about how things works, process...etc. Thanks for the information and clearing that up for me. It makes a lot more sense, and will be helpful for others that are waiting, I'm sure.

Early acceptance. Is that usual?

Yup, Yup.

I didn't mean that they interviewed everyone before. I was on break and was trying to respond while people were talking to me. From what I understand, in previous semesters people are either denied or asked to interview. Then after they are interviewed, they are either denied, waitlisted or accepted. But it didn't happen like that this time. For whatever reason, only few are being interviewed, but most aren't.

So, your saying there is a method to this madness? From what I have researched there is a pretty good retention rate at this school, so I believe in what you say about them actually caring about their students. They must be doing something right. In reading over other threads for UTMB, it seems that some of the people that were "last minute call-ins" had atleast already heard that they were waitlisted, but since people don't show up to orientation, spots opened up, and they get a chance to start ASAP. Last year around this time it looks like people were still waiting on to be asked to interview...and then waiting again. My guess is since they can't interview everyone as before, they've got a lot more to discuss and conteplate before making a final decision about each student...?

May I ask where you were able to find this information, I would be interested in their methodology.
