For EY2021, the TMDSAS dental schools have delayed the beginning of the interview season to accommodate for any delays applicants could face such as delays in DAT testing or obtaining letters of evaluation.
When the dental schools begin extending offers of acceptance in mid-December, this will kick-off the rolling admissions period during which applicants may continue to receive offers of acceptance.
The application deadline delay means that the medical schools can begin interviewing later in the cycle. In addition to the delay, many schools have added additional interview days to accommodate applicants who have experienced delays with taking the MCAT or obtaining letters of evaluation. Here's what the schools said.
The TMDSAS Match
The TMDSAS Match for Texas resident medical applicants. For more information on how the TMDSAS Match works, visit the TMDSAS website page.
This year, the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine has set an application deadline of September 15. With the addition of the Texas Tech University College of Veterinary Medicine this application cycle, their application deadline will be extended until December 31 - the school expects to begin accepting applications in September.
Interviews for both the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine and the Texas Tech University College of Veterinary Medicine will be held in January. The schools are coordinating to ensure that any applicant who is invited to interview at both schools would be able to do so.
