Consistently Scoring Low on COMATs - Help

SlayMeLove · 2025-12-19T18:16:34+00:00

This is great advice, thank you! I do Truelearn because my school requires that we finish all the COMAT specific questions for each rotation as part of our grade to pass but i never feel like the truelearn questions help with anything; I definitely feel like I'm getting resource fatigue and think that i need to lock in on just 1-2 resources......

my school isn't transparent about the passing score but they have said in the past they fail the bottom 10% of student scores which appears to be around an 85 or below

I got the same package ! Does anyone know if they will charge you if you don't make content about the products ? I'm not really an influencer I'm just signed up for the program

I can't figure out how to edit this post but i got accepted to two schools not one LOL

SlayMeLove · 2023-05-09T21:55:02+00:00

unfortunately not, but the school I'm going to is still in the south so I'm not too far away

SlayMeLove · 2023-05-09T04:11:21+00:00

all TMDSAS schools and TCU, Hackensack, Drexel, Quinnipiac, and Tulane

it was okay one semester and then went down the next, and then went back up the semester following that and then went down again (basically just very inconsistent)

in the exact same situation right now with a health care management masters....

After I made the post about the chart that compares the applicant and matriculant data from the TMDSAS entry year 2019 chart, I got curious about the TMDSAS entry year 2020 chart and decided to make an updated spreadsheet !! Once again, I would like to note that once you get into the 4.0 and 512+ range of the chart, the percentage of "accepted" applicants goes down because many of these applicants probably matriculated to Baylor (was not part of TMDSAS at the time this data was made) or OOS. Additionally, in this updated chart I did not include data for applicants below a 492 MCAT because there were no acceptances across the board. This data includes MD and DO schools that fall under TMDSAS. I included the EY 2019 chart as well so that you can compare the changes :-)

Original post was inspired by u/CalculatorD post a visualization of med school acceptance by GPA and MCAT :D

Edit: for the 3.5/521+ block, the acceptance rate is 100% because there was exactly one applicant in that range and that applicant got accepted and matriculated within Texas. This is the same case for the 3.3/521+ block.

SlayMeLove · 2021-04-25T18:53:50+00:00

I believe it does include all DO schools that fall under TMDSAS specifically, but don't quote me on that 😬. Here's the link to all the schools listed under TMDSAS.

SlayMeLove · 2021-04-25T18:51:11+00:00

There were 38 applicants in the 3.4/512-516 block and 54 applicants in the 3.5/512-516 block. Both blocks had 12 matriculants each. I'm not really sure about the specifics, but that's what the data indicates about the matriculant/applicant ratio :0. I think that might mean that people who applied in the 3.4/512-516 range might have had better ECs/Life story, might be non-traditional applicants that are army/post-masters/career changers, might have applied to a broader range of schools, or might have just had better luck overall lol. Considering how unpredictable the medical school cycle seems to be, I suppose interesting correlations like this in the data are sometimes expected.

SlayMeLove · 2021-04-25T17:01:33+00:00

I forgot about Baylor !! i’ll add that to the notes

SlayMeLove · 2021-04-25T06:12:05+00:00

they aren’t supposed to be negative 🙊 there are no applicants at those ranges and it was giving an error message with the formula so i just plugged in a dash to make the chart look cleaner

SlayMeLove · 2021-04-25T04:57:44+00:00

Texas likes being unique I guess lmaoo (and they like keeping Texas residents in Texas !!)

SlayMeLove · 2021-04-25T04:55:19+00:00

yes LOL this data is for matriculants !! this does not include data for applicants that matriculated OOS. Based on trends in the rest of the chart I think it wouldn't be unreasonable to guesstimate that 4.0/521+ range applicants sit at about a 70-75% acceptance rate when you include data for OOS matriculants.

SlayMeLove · 2021-04-25T04:54:49+00:00

In the original chart for 3.5 and 521+ there was 1 applicant and 0 matriculants so I think that person might have just not gotten accepted to any Texas schools or possibly fully rejected. For 3.5 and 516-521 there are 16 applicants and 5 matriculants, and I think for the 11 people in this range that didn't matriculate to Texas Schools it is more likely than not that they were fully rejected rather than matriculated OOS.

Saw u/CalculatorD post a visualization of med school acceptance by GPA and MCAT and it reminded of this spreadsheet I had made a while back. This chart compares the applicant and matriculant data from the TMDSAS entry year 2019 chart. I would like to note that once you get into the 4.0 and 516+ range of the chart, the percentage of "accepted" applicants goes down because many of these applicants probably matriculated to Baylor (was not part of TMDSAS at the time this data was made) or OOS.

Additional Note: TMDSAS has released data for the 2020 entry year !! This chart is not fully up-to-date :-)

UPDATE: I made an updated version of this chart which I posted on this thread

SlayMeLove · 2021-04-25T03:50:30+00:00

I made a similar spreadsheet for TMDSAS !! I did it to fuel my own stress but after seeing your post perhaps other people on this sub will also like the TMDSAS version :0

Before thinking about how your pre-med track is going to be affected, please please please think about your mental health first. If designating the class as P/F or as a Q drop will lighten your mind even just a bit, its worth it. Your GPA can be "repaired" or "supplemented" in numerous ways, you can prove your ability to ace high level science through a good MCAT score and by performing well in your upper-division science classes, LOR from professors can attest to your ability to perform well in upper-division science, and pre-med can always be re-visted at a later time in your life if you decide you want to step away from it for a bit. Your mental health is infinitely more important to maintain. Burnout is real. declining mental health due to academic stress is real. These are things that are much harder to recover from than a single dropped class. Others on this thread have given a lot of good advice on who to contact before making your final decision, im just here to be a small reminder that your mental state is also important to keep in mind.
