EY 2022 TMDSAS Applications by the Numbers - July 1
Take a look at how Entry Year 2022 compares to other application cycles. All numbers below represent applications started and submitted as of July 1, 2021 and on the same date for each application cycle represented.
All Applicants
Where EY2021 brought a historic increase in applications to TMDSAS, EY2022 numbers
show a similar interest with just a slight decrease in applications started and submitted
(down 122 applications started and 172 applications submitted from the same time last
year). The EY2022 numbers are still on the higher end of the 5-year average for applications
started and submitted.
Dental Applicants
Dental applicants continue a steady rate of applications started, but saw a slight
drop in applications submitted as of July 1 with 6 more applications started over
the same time last cycle, but 54 fewer applications submitted.
It's still early in the application cycle and as we enter the later part of the summer
when applications pick up, the number of submitted applications are likely to improve
- don't forget about the importance of submitting an early application to maximize
the number of interviews you could eligible to attend!
Medical Applicants
Medical applicants saw the sharpest year over year decline in applications started
from EY2021 to EY2022 with 438 fewer applications started (down 5%). However, this
trend isn't as visible with the pool of applications submitted where 3987 applications
have been submitted - only 146 fewer than last year (down 3.5%).
The summer months typically represent the highest volume of applications submitted
to TMDSAS so the coming months are sure to see higher application numbers. Make sure
you educate yourself about why submitting your application early is important.
Veterinary Applicants
By far the greatest driving force of the growth of applications started at TMDSAS
is the increase veterinary applicants with more than 132 more applications than the
same time last year (an increase of 16%). This is likely due to the increased opportunities
granted by both veterinary schools this application cycle. See what Texas A&M CVM and Texas Tech SVM have in store.
While applications submitted appear lower for veterinary applicants at this time,
don't forget that the application deadline for veterinary school this cycle is September 15!
