I was offered a position at TWU Houston!!! I wish it was Dallas, since I'll have to find someone to sublease my apartment to (I still have 6 months) but oh man! I'm so excited. Good luck to everyone! There's still a chance! Keep your head up guys!
I will be attending UTHSCSA. So excited to stay in San Antonio!!! As people continue to finalize their acceptances and ultimately turn down others, more people will be pulled off the waitlists. These next few weeks will hopefully bring good news for everyone!
I was wondering the same thing about UTMB's waitlist....last I heard they had only chosen 11 out of 75. Anyone heard anything different recently?
I know parking at the medical center is ridiculously expensive for employees (and that information is current and up to date), but I'm not sure if it is expensive for students. You might look further south at places where you could drive to a light rail station and commute from there.
Hey everyone! I just wanted to let you all know that I withdrew my acceptance to TWU-Houston, so that should open up a waitlist spot

Yeah its 677/mo for a 1br...heard its a good place to live. Join the FB group.I too was accepted to UTHSCSA and I was considering living at The Abbey also. Is that rate for a 1 bed 1 bath?
Nice Congrats. If u dont mind, what is your gpa?Hi! I was an alternate for the incoming 2014 MOT program at UTHSCSA. I got a call yesterday that I got accepted! Whew. Nothing like skating in at the last minute.
Hello, I am the Rehabilitation Coordinator (PT/OT/AT/Chiropractic) for my pre-health organization at the University of Houston. I have a few questions for those that have been accepted into OT school in Texas recently. I'm hoping that some of y'all will be able to help me out! Please and thank you
hey there! I'm a 2015 TWU applicant (in a similar situation and reading last year's thread) I too-non-traditional MOT applicant but have graduate work-a completed MA and one year of PhD. Did they let you know which GPA was chosen in place of the last 60hrs? Did you have a choice? I emailed earlier this week to get some clarification-but nothing back. Also, how are you enjoying the program? I've applied with Houston being my first choice Dallas second-will see how it goes.."TWU doesn't care."
I just read your post to my husband and this was his response.
He's been so supportive over the last 3 years as I've worked full-time while taking pre-req's and $10k worth of grad school to get into TWU Dallas.
That said, I received my acceptance e-mail last night. It was oddly anti-climactic. As I've learned, the selection process is essentially gpa driven. Don't mean to be a kill-joy, it's just been a long 3 years. I've taken vacation days to complete over 70 observation hours in three different settings, only to find out they "expire" after two years and TWU doesn't really care if you do more than the requisite amount. I hope TWU will refine their process in the future to consider things like work experience and a proven ability to juggle school/work/life responsibilities.
Here are my stats:
Undergrad GPA (circa 1997): 3.27
Last 60 GPA(circa 1997): 3.27
Pre-req GPA: 4.0
12 hours of grad school GPA(which takes the place of last 60hrs): 4.0
Good luck and congrats to all!
*please excuse any spelling/grammar issues as I'm writing from my iPad while on vacation...about to enjoy a much needed mimosa!
Can somebody explain TTU's admission process. I've interviewed and I just found out I got an alternate spot via mail.
Is my application no longer in the pool until spring time when people that have been accepted decide not to attend? Or can I still get accepted while the rest of the interviews are being completed this semester?
Hey Red Raider, do you have any advice for the interview process. I have one for this Saturday for the program starting in May 15. ThanksHey guys, for those of you starting at Tech in May go to Facebook and search TTUHSC MOT Class of 2016. There's a group now.
When you say personal statement, are you referring to the essay? Just wondering because I will most likely be applying again next year and didn't realize they would read anything else you send in besides the essay. Thanks!Hello all!
I will be applying to the MOT program at TWU (Dallas and Houston). I have completed most of my pre-requisites; so far with a 3.5 gpa (I still have 1 more class in progress). I graduated with a degree in Health Studies and have a 3.8 on my last 60 hours. For the past couple years I have been working as a case manager (children/adults with Intellectual Developmental Disabilities). I am fluent in Spanish and will have completed over 100 hours of observation at a Pediatric OT clinic by the time I apply.
When I read these forums and see an average gpa of 4.0 and 100+ hours of observation, I can't help but stress and think my gpa may not be as competitive. TWU no longer interviews, so I plan to submit a strong personal statement with my application.
I am curious to ask… how many of you are working parents? What kind of experience do you have aside from volunteer work?
I look forward to your feedback and good luck everyone!
Hi! I know you got into the program last year but I was wondering if you happen to know if there was a waitlist last year?mi am anxiously waiting to hear back from UTSAHSC and someone said they were told 40 will be accepted and there will be no wait list? Any info help! Thank you!Just got an acceptance letter from UTHSCSA! So for anyone who interviewed you should be getting something today, if not tomorrow.
I also received my acceptance letter from UTHSCSA (January 10th interview group)! Though I wonder if they will have another round of interviews, as I know of several people who never heard back from UTHSCSA after submitting their applications. If they were interviewing 5 people each Friday starting in January, that would be 20-25 people at most (I think)…
Hi! I interviewed at UTHSCSA on January 31st and found out Friday I was accepted! I will be attending and wanted to see if anyone else on here was going! I want to start getting to know some people!
Start a FB page and post the link on here. Did anyone find some decent apartments yet? I'm attending UTHSCSA as well.
