Eeeek wonder if Houston has made any calls?! Getting nervous!!!

It wouldn’t hurt to call them and possibly see your ranking. Hang in there, and remember TWU almost every year goes deep into their waitlist.
Did they tell you your ranking?? In the email they sent out about the waitlist, they said they don’t release your ranking
Just got accepted to TWU Dallas from the waitlist. However, will be attending UTSW so those on the Dallas waitlist could be hearing something soon. Good luck everyone
I called yesterday and I was able to get an idea of where I stand on the waitlist.Has anybody heard from TWU Houston???
What did they say if you don’t mind me asking? Did they give you a number or like quartile?I called yesterday and I was able to get an idea of where I stand on the waitlist.

Awesome thank you!They also told me where I was. Number value!
So I accepted a spot on UTEPs waitlist last Friday and just got an email tonight saying I have been accepted off of the waitlist. I'm most likely going to decline the offer and stick with Angelo State.
Of course!Would you mind sharing your stats? I'm going to be applying to UTEP this next time around.
No. I had already moved down to Galveston to go to UTMB, where I am in my 2nd year.
I love everything about UTMB. I really couldn't be happier here. It's a very laid back environment, which is really helpful in terms of dealing with the stresses of school. The professors are amazing and funny and we usually have a good time while in class. The school is always hosting free events for students and there's always something going on in Galveston.If you don't mind me asking, how do you like UTMB? What is the environment/culture like?

txstate!! If you haven’t already check out our fb page Texas State DPT class of 2021.Wow that sounds awesome! Currently trying to decide between Tx State and UTMB so this is very helpful. Thank you!
Feel free to shoot me a message if you have any other questions about UTMB! I'd be happy to answer them!Wow that sounds awesome! Currently trying to decide between Tx State and UTMB so this is very helpful. Thank you!
haha I was already leaning towards that decision! Thank youtxstate!! If you haven’t already check out our fb page Texas State DPT class of 2021.
Side note, I saw pictures of the new building and Clinic in Round Rock and is it top of the line!
Just curious but what leads you to lean towards Tx State? I am in a similar spot and UTMB definitely has a lot going for it.haha I was already leaning towards that decision! Thank you
For me its because I’ve seen the faculty and DPT students work/collaborate first hand since I’m around their clinic a lot. The faculty has a lot knowledge in the different fields of PT, they all have a position of some sorts in TPTA and or APTA and I think they’re the only school in Texas that visits their students that are off on rotations no matter where in the country they are. The students I’ve been around tell me they all have fun and feel like a family. Txst also has their own clinic where the 2nd year students treat real patients before they go off on their rotations. The Clinic is ran by a licensed PT faculty member. There’s a lot of things i can say but I’ve already made this too long. The new school in Round Rock is gonna be insanely amazing, I can’t wait!Just curious but what leads you to lean towards Tx State? I am in a similar spot and UTMB definitely has a lot going for it.
I completely agree with @perez6. Except I haven't worked with them closely lol I went to undergrad out of state, but when I was at the interview the environment just felt amazing. Everybody truly is a family; from the students to the professors. All the professors seemed really knowledgeable and extremely nice. I do have a friend as a first year right now, she LOVES IT and it makes me want to be a part of that!Just curious but what leads you to lean towards Tx State? I am in a similar spot and UTMB definitely has a lot going for it.
I actually got a call the day after I posted that and I got accepted!!Seems like you are in the waitlist!!! I called last week and they told me they are still working on waitlist. We should be receiving rejection or acceptance emails by mid February
I actually got a call the next day after I posted and I got accepted!One of the girls I early-interviewed with back in November just got her acceptance last week. So they are still admitting students.
Hello everyone:
I would like to hear recommendations from you guys. I am currently in the waitlist for UT health and I understand it is now difficult to get a spot for this year even though I havent lose hopes. I would like to start preparing my self for the next application cycle. My current Overall GPA is 3.5 while my Science GPA is 3.7. I have a C in chemistry 2 ,however, I took O.Chem 1 and I got a B so my question is " Is it worth to retake classes and try to get a higher GPA? Or should I focus more on shadowing and GRE??"
Thanks
I can echo this. I was in a very similar situation. One thing I believe schools look at is you’re applying to them for a second time. That just shows that you’re persistent, and have the drive to get into school. There is nothing wrong with a gap year as long as you use that year to enhance your application the best you can!So I did not get accepted my first round applying. I had a 3.7 overall GPA and I think a 3.5 pre-req, had 250 hours in a multitude of settings, and a 308 on my gre. I retook chem 1, psych and took college algebra to replace my calc grade. I had B's in all of these and retook to get an A. I also became a PT tech and ended up with roughly 1300 more hours in a setting that I had previously already shadowed for 100. I did not retake GRE since most schools don't even focus on that and the chances of scoring higher are slim. I applied to 8 schools, was offered an interview at 6 of the 8 (denied from UTMB and accepted to TWU) and decided on TWU. I also applied a LOT earlier than the previous cycle. I believe that this was the main reason as to why I heard back from so many as opposed to hearing from only 1 previously.
I would recommend trying to get more hours, leadership experience and retaking classes, especially chem 2. Hope this helps!
Thank you for your advice!! I'll definitly start taking those steps!!So I did not get accepted my first round applying.

Congrats! I think you actually got my spot They received my email in the morning that I had decided to go to UTMB. Super difficult choice that gave me anxiety, but I'm glad someone worthy benefitted from my misery. LolGot accepted to TWU Houston today! Will be withdrawing my position at Tech, hopefully someone else will benefit!

Thank you! If you don't mind me asking, what made you choose UTMB over TWU? I received an offer from UTMB on Tuesday as well, so now I'm in the same situation.Congrats! I think you actually got my spot They received my email in the morning that I had decided to go to UTMB.

I also just got accepted to Texas Tech at Amarillo! So if you are on the waitlist don't give up hope!
what was disappointing about it?I would encourage you to make a visit to TWU before making a final decision if you are not from Houston. It's a great program, but I was very disappointed with the lack of campus. There was a lot more happening at UTHSCSA and UNT. Your opinion may be very different, just encouraging you to check it out.
