Hi everyone! There's less than a month to the "target date" for TWU decisions. I was wondering, has anyone's TWU pioneer portal changed? Mine still says Awaiting Department Review as of 9/14/16. I've submitted all my materials way before the due date, but never got a confirmation; did anyone else? I'm not sure if this is supposed to change when they do actually review my application, or if it's something they don't update at all. Let me know if you have something similar! Thanks 🙂
 
Hey guys! Current TWU OT student here. Your pioneer portal will say that for a while. Even after you have been accepted/rejected, it could take a few days for it to change. Feel free to ask me any questions you guys might have!

Hey!🙂
How's the program?
Do you possibly have an idea when accepted/wait-listed students will be notified?
The wait is driving me nuts. 🙁

I love the program! There is a lot of work but that is to be expected. The professors are great and really care about you doing well. And as a bonus, my classmates are awesome. I don't know when exactly you will hear something but I believe they are pretty far along in the process. We heard back on December 9th last year so I'm sure you will hear by then, if not sooner. Good luck!!

Thank you for the information!:happy:
I applied to the Houston campus. How many got accepted to the Dallas campus?
By the way, did you get accepted your first time applying? I hear a lot of people don't get accepted the first time around.🙁

I'm not sure how many were accepted but we have a class of 45. It was my first time applying but I was actually waitlisted. So for those who do get waitlisted, there is hope! We do have some people who applied more than once but this was the first time applying for a lot of people!

oh wow! that's good to know.
by any chance, did you apply to UTHSCSA last year?
 
I'm surprised there's not more chatter regarding admissions. Last year there were hundreds of replies that started up long before November. Maybe there's less applicants this year. Idk. Just found it odd how quiet it is.

So am I! I was going through posts from previous years and there were many more responses. :\

December 15th, according to TWU's website! If last year's acceptances were Dec 9th though, maybe they'll be done sooner. That's what I'm hoping for anyway

Awesome. Two to three weeks! I was accepted elsewhere, but TWU is my first choice. So I'm anxious to see what they say.
 
Anyone heard anything yet? I haven't received an acceptance or rejection email yet. Based on previous years I figured they would have notified by now.

Nah, nothing yet. Last year was the 9th, but the years before that were like sometime in January and around Dec 17th. (I looked at past threads lol). Maybe they really are trying to stay true to the target date of the 15th! Either way this wait is killing me :arghh:

Same here. I was reading the other years threads and saw they were notified around a week to 10 days prior to the target date. Either way I am stressing. I don't do well with this waiting game lol.

I just received an email from LaWana stating, "Applicants will be notified hopefully by the end of next week. If not, you guys will receive notification in January."

Aw shucks! 🙁 And here I thought the wait was almost over!
 
plus are they even going to be in the office then? 😵 Sounds like that's around the time the semester is already over
 
That's such bs. Uggghhh! I have to take physics for another school. And it'll be so annoying to cough up all this money to take the course in the Spring, if I get into TWU where I DON'T need the course. It'd be a waste of time and money. And I can't drop it, so I'd have to commit through May for the fun of it. Do better, TWU.

Wow that sucks!!! I'm sorry 🙁 I haven't taken physics either since TWU didn't require it, but if i didn't get in I was just gonna wait until the summer. But yeah, I don't understand how it went from "possibly hearing decisions last week" to "maybe january." That's a big leap! I have a lot of trust issues now lol

I don't understand it either. We've been given hope since the first of this month. Now it's next year??? :uhno: I can't even. I can't trust a word they say now. LoL
 
well I just got a rejection email so they should be notifying today. Had a 3.83 gpa and 4.0 pre req so competition must be fierce. best of luck to everyone.
 
I was denied by UTMB but just recieved notice i got accepted into TWU - Houston. !!!!! I had a cum.gpa of 3.84 but not sure of my prereq gpa. My gre scores were extremely low like below avg on math/reading and a 2 on analytical writing!!!! Keep your hopes up.
