On September 8, 2026, the Texas Medical and Dental Schools Application Service (TMDSAS) launched the 2026 Accepted Applicant Experience Survey, inviting accepted applicants to provide feedback regarding their experiences from application to admission.
The survey is a key component of TMDSAS and the Texas Health Education Service’s (TXHES) ongoing efforts to better understand the applicant’s experience and enhance the admissions process across participating institutions. Feedback collected will help identify potential barriers, highlight effective practices, and provide insights into opportunities for improvement for future applicants.
Applicants are encouraged to reflect on their experiences throughout the admissions process and to provide feedback that may inform future enhancements to TMDSAS services, resources, and procedures.
The survey was distributed on September 8 and will remain open through Monday, September 28, 2026.

JAMP is entering a new chapter of leadership while staying true to its mission of creating opportunities for talented Texas students pursuing medicine. This year’s Council transition celebrates longtime leaders, welcomes new voices, and brings the story full circle as a former JAMP Scholar steps into the role of Chair-Elect.
JAMP is expanding its support for scholars with two new initiatives designed to meet needs both inside and outside the classroom. An emergency fund will help scholars facing unexpected financial challenges, while new research funding will create more opportunities for students to explore their interests, gain experience, and prepare for their future in medicine.
