Anyone applying to Texas schools know what ID number we're supposed to include in our PTCAS app after submitting the Apply Texas app? Is it the Apply Texas ID number or another ID number we receive later?

 

[Smash Atoms]

TWU: ENTER YOUR TWU COLLEAGUE ID NUMBER (seven digit number generally beginning with "1"). Your ID number is required before you submit your PTCAS application to TWU and it can be located 48 hours after you submit your Apply Texas Application, you will be able to create a PORTAL account on the TWU website. Texas Woman’s University . Locate your TWU Colleague ID # at the top of the page after logging in to the TWU Portal.

Texas State: Enter your Texas State University application ID number (E00XXXXXX). The Graduate College will email you this ID number within two business days after you submit your ApplyTexas application.

No one else I am applying with requires a ApplyTexas application

Ah yeah I did see that after I posted.. I think I'll have to just keep trying the TWU one and wait for an email from Texas State. Those are the only two that require this I believe.

Has anyone had an interview with Texas Tech and heard back?

 

[Smash Atoms]

Yo! There is a thread with a similar title to this one that has been running a bit longer, a few folks on that one have interviewed at tech. Good luck!

Solid stats!
I'm still waiting on TX State

 

[Pursuit.of.DPT]

Did anyone in this forum apply to Angelo State University or UTEP and have heard back? I received an email like two weeks ago from UTEP telling me I am still being considered, but I think that was a mass email they sent to everyone that applied. I got into UMHB in Belton, Texas, campus is great and so are the professors. but its hella expensive lol.

I am really hoping i hear back from ASU or UTEP soon.

I interviewed at UIW on 2/17/18 and was waitlisted last week. Is anyone who was accepted or waitlisted rejecting their offer from UIW?

Hey! I was wondering if you got your hours in san antonio? I still technically live there but I am currently an undergrad (junior) in Massachusetts. I am going to be back in Texas for the summer trying to do some pre reqs at maybe an alamo college but I also wanted to get in some hours when I can, but I am just having trouble just getting started in looking since I'm across the country. If there are any tips or anything else that you know that could help, I'd really appreciate it!

Wherebare you trying to observe? (What setting)

Im leaning more towards an outpatient ortho or inpatient pediatric, maybe a privately owned if possible. I'm willing to do almost anything as I haven't done any observations.

Inpatient peds is tough to get, most hospitals take a long time to get into.
For outpatient ortho it was easy. Just hit up google maps and look up PT clinics near where you will be staying and start calling and asking if they are taking anyone to shadow. A few may say no, but a few will say yes so just be patient and keep trying until you lock something down.
