Has anyone heard back from TWU about regular decisions yet? The stress of not knowing is killing me. I know that last year they ended up notifying people before the December 15th deadline and I'm pretty nervous. I didn't have a lot of observation hours when I applied, 76 hours (36 in an outpatient vestibular treatment clinic) and 40 in a sub/acute rehab hospital. I have a pretty solid GPA though 3.76 and I managed to get three strong LOR. One is even from a TWU alumni.

Thanks for any replies!
 
I'd suggest contacting Mary Beth to ask when you can expect to hear back. I applied there for early decision, and she was really responsive to my emails throughout the process. If you have more observation hours now, you might also try sending them an updated resume with your current hours, since the deadline has not yet passed.
 
I applied early decision but just missed the list of criteria. The letter I got in the mail said that regular decision applicants that are accepted would be contacted around December 20th. Hope that helps!
 
I think that December 15 was listed as the target date to notify accepted applicants. I applied to TWU and still have not heard anything if that makes you feel better : )
 
Received notice that I am an alternate for the Dallas campus! Has anyone else heard back?

I got a letter from them a while back saying I didn't meet the criteria for early admissions so I would be in regular pile.

Since then I haven't heard anything from them.. so I am assuming it's a no but I have accepted to go to UTSW anyway wahoo!! 🙂

Ditto!!!!
 
I got the call last Friday (12/14) notifying me that I was accepted into the Houston campus. :clap: Good luck to anyone else waiting for the call or anyone who was wait listed.
 
I got the email last week that I am an alternate for TWU Houston. :xf:
 
@barefootsocks: Congrats! Looks like we'll be classmates! 🙂

Agarci27,

Did you state a preferred campus in your letter? I stated that I was only able to attend the Dallas campus, perhaps if you did not have a preference they would not state it in the letter they sent. Seems like you may have a better chance of being called up if you are still available for both! Congratulations!

Yes, I told them Houston was my preference and I remember selecting it on the paper application. Well Ill prob end up emailing them but at least Im still in the game! I just hate waiting
 
For those accepted to Dallas, does anyone know if a facebook group has been started?

Also, I found out that these were the average stats of accepted students at TWU this cycle:
Over 600 applications
Average of accepted students:
Last 60 hrs GPA 3.84
Math & Science GPA 3.76
GRE V 155
GRE Q 154
GRE A 4
 
@OkraMango: Stats from this cycle don't look too far from last year's cycle. I noticed the average GRE scores are creeping up slowly!

How'd you get the information (just curious)?

To other posters on this thread: And I'd like to know if anyone accepted to TWU-Houston has created a Facebook group for Class 2016?

I emailed Mary Beth recently with a question, and got an automatic "out of office" reply. The auto reply email contained the average stats of accepted applicants for this cycle.
 
It could be sooner, but you never really know. Good luck to you!

Can you provide information on the list of criteria used for early decision acceptance at TWU?

Congrats! Which campus did you get accepted to? I've been accepted to Dallas but am not positive that I'll be attending yet. I have an interview elsewhere in late February, so we'll see.

Anyone else attending the Forum this weekend in Dallas for accepted students? I'm coming in from out of state and am excited to visit!

Thank you very much! That is exactly what I was looking to know. Congratulations on your acceptance. 🙂
 
I decided to turn down my other offers and will definitely be attending TWU Dallas starting this Fall! :clap:

Is anyone else on here going to the Dallas campus? I'd love to start a facebook group, so send me a message!
 
YAY! Congrats on your NAU acceptance, also. 🙂 I think you made a wise decision, by the way.
 
I am applying to PT school next cycle, and I am really interested in TWU. I am a little confused about the math & science gpa...is this calculated from TWU's specific prerequisites, or is it all math and science classes you have taken?

I'm not sure, but you can email the PT program with your questions. They are really good about responding.

I think you made the right choice, congrats! the Dallas campus has a facebook group already
 
I'm also considering applying next cycle too but i'll have 4 outstanding classes when applying. (Bio I&II, Physics I&II).

Does this make a big impact when applying to TWU? Anyone get accepted with this many pre-reqs outstanding?
 
Well, I know you need three or less outstanding pre-requisites (on top of all the other met requirements) for early decision. I can't say I know about regular admissions. Contact Mary Beth Daugherty, she can definitely help you out with this question! 🙂
 
I got my call from Mary Beth yesterday! I've been pulled off the waitlist and I'm going to TWU-Dallas!
