We get a summer break (the entirety of July).
Interesting! Thanks for the info.FWIW, for everyone on the WL: there has recently been decent movement into and out of the GroupMe - not saying that's indicative of withdrawals/waitlist acceptances, but perhaps? I also know of at least 2-3 students who are holding Houston campus offers who plan to withdraw (if they haven't already).
Well according to their amcas wl procedures they dont start WL movement till April 30 so I hope there hasn't been WL movement yetFWIW, for everyone on the WL: there has recently been decent movement into and out of the GroupMe - not saying that's indicative of withdrawals/waitlist acceptances, but perhaps?

Interesting, I did not know this. Good to know though.Well according to their amcas wl procedures they dont start WL movement till April 30 so I hope there hasn't been WL movement yet
Actually idk that was in the 2023-2024 waitlist procedure thing their box is empty for the 2024-2025 pdfInteresting, I did not know this. Good to know though.
email.Does Baylor usually call or email for WL acceptances?
Congrats! Email or call?OOS A off waitlist into Houston campus

heads lol?Any IS heads ?
Well idt they can replace IS with OOS bc of the 90% ruleI sincerely wonder why they waited so long to hand out the rest of their OOS A's. On top of that, they waited until after the PTE CTE traffic deadline. To be totally honest, at one point, I had literally sent an LOI to Baylor because I thought that it was the best place in the US for my spouse (and an excellent school for me). This was about a month before the first OOS A acceptance wave. Once I got passed up, I lost hope and thought that I was destined for WL/R despite it being my strongest interview performance of the whole cycle.
Fast forward a few months, my wife and I fall in love with another (cheaper) school and another city (she has secured a fantastic job there), so around 4/15, I don't even want to hear Baylor's answer and adhere to my LOI, and I withdraw. (Note for future applicants: think very deeply before sending an LOI). But I feel like they are genuinely shooting themselves in the foot with regard to recruiting OOS talent.
My theory is that their first (and only) OOS A wave is for the stellar applicants that they want there regardless. This latest OOS A wave was done after the PTE CTE deadline because they wanted to see what in-state talent they lost and fill the demographic holes with OOS students (similar to NYU's unranked waitlist - replacing a research-heavy low SES URM with another research-heavy low SES URM). That's the only explanation that makes sense for waiting so long at such a high cost towards recruiting OOS talent. Thoughts?
Baylor doesn't follow the 90% rule. AFAIK, Baylor has a little more leeway for the rule because they are a private school with agreements for medical education with the State of Texas. I heard it is somewhere around 75% ish. Also, Baylor has reserved seats for Rice/Baylor (until the program is discontinued fully), Baylor2Baylor, JAMP, DeBakey High School/Baylor, St. Mary's/Baylor, and Xavier University/Baylor.Well idt they can replace IS with OOS bc of the 90% rule
I just assume a lot of other OOS people got their As but withdrew bc they got into better schools and so this wave was replacing those OOS students who withdrew
One of the OOS students in my social said he got in in December so I don’t think this was the only OOS A wave
I hope it moves and I get in XDDDI hope the IS WL moves next week.
I hope it moves and I get in XDDD
What do you plan on doing with both? Ive always been interested in the program but didnt know the benefit besides doing health ligationMe too. I want the MD/JD.
Well, I have always kind of been interested in law (I am a history major). I have always wanted to explore the interactions between medicine and law. My experiences have shown me how vital law is to medicine and medicine to law. Baylor/UH's program is unique in that it focuses more on the MD side, but implements the JD side to complement. Other schools focus on the JD first and foremost and utilize the MD side to complement health law (part of the reason I wasn't super satisfied with TTU's MD/JD program). I would be primarily be focused on practicing as a doctor, but I would want to use the JD to advocate for patients beyond just their physical well-being, interact/engage with medical malpractice, and most importantly become a hospital administrator of a major medical system. I would say the ultimate goal is to practice as a doctor and eventually climb the ladder so to speak, as a hospital administrator. The ultimate, ultimate goal would be to get an MD, JD, MBA and be a high-ranking administrator at a hospital system (like UTMB).What do you plan on doing with both?

Wow that sounds amazing! It seems like you planned everything out😂Well, I have always kind of been interested in law (I am a history major).

Most likely, if I can't do Baylor's MD/JD. Then I will focus fully on getting into my desired specialty, practice for a few years post residency, then go back to law school part time (UH offers a 4 year part time JD program). Later on, I would probably go for an MBA at a renowned institution.
But, plans can change so who knows.
Definitely not haha, but it would be a dream to make all of this happen.Wow that sounds amazing! It seems like you planned everything out😂
They did admit several OOS students right.word on the street is theres motion in the groupme

ProbablyAny IS movement?
I think you're all set with just the deposit and PTE. I've emailed admissions a few times about whether they have a commit to enroll and I've never gotten an answer, only the plan to enroll deadline. If anyone else could confirm though that would be great.Does anyone know what the commit to enroll deadline is for OOS students who need to do it on AMCAS? Or do we just need to submit deposit to secure seat?
