TMDSAS: The Old and The New

For those applying to medical school through the Texas Medical and Dental Schools Application Service (TMDSAS), please note that your process is a little different from the AMCAS system: The TMDSAS allows for more expository writing, including the medical personal statement, the personal characteristics essay, and the optional essay. This year, too, the TMDSAS has added on a meaningful activities section, which can include up to three accomplishments, with a 500 character limit each.

The TMDSAS has a different timeline from AMCAS as well. Check it out here. For TMDSAS official application instructions, click this link.
