New! How to Prepare for Submitting Transcripts to TMDSAS

Earlier this year at the TAAHP Conference, TMDSAS outlined the new procedure for submitting transcripts this application cycle.

For the large majority of applicants this cycle, transcripts can only be submitted upon request when the TMDSAS member institutions begin extending offers of admission (beginning October 15). We've written an article you can share with your students to help explain the process and begin planning.

New! Here's How the EY2021 Numbers Compare to Other Years

As we've seen each year, applicants to TMDSAS member institutions have steadily risen. But EY2021 is different.

TMDSAS Applicants for Entry Year 2021 continue to increase each week, and are on track to be the largest applicant pool in TMDSAS history.

Connecting Schools and Empowering Applicants in Uncertain Times

The purpose of the Courage Session Live Q&A is to support students preparing to apply and offer member institutions an opportunity to address applicant questions. 

Since there have been many impacts caused by COVID-19 in the 2021 cycle, it is important that each applicant be aware of changes to admissions test dates, the updates to the Application Handbook, and changes in application deadlines. These updates are outlined in our newsroom.

Upcoming Sessions: 

  • Wednesday, July 29 with the Sam Houston State University College of Osteopathic Medicine
  • Wednesday, August 12 with the TXHES Team to Discuss Next Steps after Applying
  • Wednesday, August 19 with the University of Houston College of Medicine
  • This August - Texas Tech University School of Veterinary Medicine
  • This August - Building a Pathway to Professional School as a Non-Traditional Student
