• Applicants are notified by email (LongSOM@uthscsa.edu) and are given several dates from which to choose. Check your spam/junk folders regularly!
• Letters of Recommendation or Health Professions Committee Packets are not required for the screening/interview process, but are required by the TMDSAS deadline.
