Has anyone applied or been to these schools?

[IoneMacaroni]

Hey everyone! I just finished applying to Masters programs in Counseling and now I'm just waiting around in constant worry. I applied to nine schools but most of them are safety schools. I'm planning to go out of state for a PhD but want to stay in Texas for the time being. I wanted to know if anyone is applying or has applied in the past to these schools and about how long did it take to hear back. Also, any information on these schools would be appreciated. For example, how is the faculty, campus life, funding, etc.

These are the ones I really want to hear back from:

University of New Mexico (my dream school!)

University of Houston

University of Texas - San Antonio

University of Texas - El Paso

 

Thanks!
