Yes, only certain groups that you and your supervisor choose will be for grad school. It adds up to 4 1/2 hours a week. You can do it all in one day or space it out. The rest of the time that you do therapy is just for your job.
@lscain do the 4 1/2 hours for grad school with your supervisor include the supervisory hours that you need to maintain your slp-a license, or do they not allow you to double dip?
PS. I sent you a message :-)
Thank you for helping us out!!

I work full time and the pay is the same as a teacher's salary in the district. I would probably email first and let them know your situation. Attach a resume to the email too. All districts are different. Some have a director of speech and some just have a Special Education director and maybe a lead SLP. Just try to find out what the district has and email that person. You might even email the speech director as well as the special education director just in case one of them doesn't see that email or pay attention to it. If you don't hear anything within a week or something I would probably follow up with a phone call then. What region are you in?
OMG. I wish they weren't so lax with me when I talked to them about sponsorship. What was the hardest class? Any advice? I'm region 11.

where did they indicate that you had to take a course before may? I'm pretty sure that I had all the courses needed but I'm also paranoid that I may be missing something and I'll find out once it's too late. The email that had the info seemed generic in the sense that it said we had to complete the courses if I had not already done so.
There was a list of courses on your acceptance e-mail. It was a generic list that's required, but they didn't specify if you still lacked any. I think I have all my courses, but I'm also paranoid that I'm missing something!
What classes is everyone still needing??

@JoD3o, I received an e-mail on Thursday with my acceptance, I did not call.
@SarahT, I don't think you should worry about finding sponsorship! I've spoken with TWU and they said that everyone has always found someone to sponsor them. TWU is willing to help us out too, if we can't find anyone. They said the only time someone wasn't sponsored was this girl that lived in Crowley. TWU got her sponsored in Fort Worth ISD, but she wanted Crowley ISD... even though Crowley wasn't available to sponsor anyone. So, she gave up her spot. Crazy right?!
@baylorbear25: Thank you for making a FB group!!
Any other region 11 out there?!?
-
@Mari_pink I did hear back, I got accepted. I was just saying, if I hadn't been accepted, I would have immediately called TWU like my co-worker did a couple of years ago
My co-worker also spoke to Laura Moorer-Cook, so @baylorbear25 is correct, she is the person to contact! Melissa Stockholm is also a good person to talk to. I know she's on the committee, but I don't think she has as much of a say as Laura Moorer-Cook does.
Don't give up! If you call and they still don't let you in, at least you tried! But I really think that they appreciate those who make an effort to contact them. And it gives you that second chance for them to look at your application and yours only. I've heard rumors from grad students that they have a "points system", so highlight things like helping your supervisor administer tests, being an SLP Assistant, visiting TWU's clinic, etc.
@SarahT: I have connections with Fort Worth ISD, but I'm debating if I should look into Mansfield ISD since they are a good school district. Mansfield is a lot closer to me than Fort Worth too, but I don't know if it's worth not having the connections I already have with Fort Worth. What about you?
-
I don't know if anyone would be willing to do this, but my co-worker applied for TWU and didn't get accepted a couple of years ago. She called to set up a meeting and explained the reasons why she should be accepted. They reviewed her application again and changed her denial to an acceptance. I think it's worth a shot! That was my plan, if I didn't get accepted.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE CONFIRM WHERE THEY MAILED THEIR APPLICATION PACKET TO? I'M HAVING SOME ISSUES WITH TRACKING. HELP!
I mailed mine to :
Texas Woman's University
COMS- Sue Colton
MCL Building # 820
1314 Bell Avenue
Denton, TX 76204
Last year, I mailed it overnight and my application was nowhere to be found. My application ended up at TWU's bookstore... If you used Fed-Ex, call the office where you mailed it. They can track it and will call their main office for you to ensure your packet is found! They even called TWU for me.

Thank you

Awesome! I did not apply for the bilingual track. Do you currently work as an SLP assistant or teacher in Mansfield?
I work as an SLP-Assistant at a clinic in Fort Worth. What about you?
@Moxie-19: It must be the therapist in us wanting to analyze every single detail!
My last name starts with L and I received that e-mail Nov 3rd at 4:06. What do you mean about a pattern in e-mails after 4 pm?
@mvslpa: I went back on the thread and saw you are Region 10, did you happen to apply for the bilingual track? I had a question about it.

Hey all! Glad to find this thread! I was hoping to hear something today going off of the timeline in the application packet. My last name starts with a T unfortunately (if it's alphabetical). I am region 10 or 11 and live in Midlothian. Anyone else live in the area?
Hey Sarah! I am region 10 or 11 too. Glad to finally see someone in my region. I live in Mansfield, we're pretty close
My last name starts with L, so I will post on here as soon as I hear anything. Did you happen to apply for the bilingual track? Anyone else out there in Region 10 or 11?

Jod3o,
Were you denied admission for cycle 8? What were your stats for cycle 8?
-
MH13, did you have to sign up for your Masters in Special Ed to get your cert in ABA? Or was the ABA cert separate, if so where did you get it from?
Anyone else already looking into other graduate programs or possibly a change in career? I want to stay positive, but it's super hard!!

MH13,
I submitted my application and don't remember receiving the TWU view book. What is it?

Hey everyone,
I'm region 10/11. I haven't heard anything either besides my application being received and processed. What were everyone's stats like?
I'm an SLP-Assistant at a clinic, 4.0 post-bacc GPA, Autism Certification, 3.4 undergrad GPA, bilingual, GRE Total: 288 and Writing 3.5. I'm nervous on how my GRE scores might affect me. Anyone else applied to the bilingual track for Region 10 or 11??
-
UNT anyone?
-
Anyone else not heard from UNT or UT Dallas yet? I've heard they both have sent out a lot of acceptances, but I haven't heard anything yet :/
I'm waiting on those two and ACU as well. Haven't heard anything
-
I'm still waiting to hear back from ACU too!!
laurakt
-Do you know if ACU gives interviews to all of their accepted applicants? If we didn't receive one, should we be expecting a rejection letter?
Heard from ACU??

@viiiper Are you sure you need the clinical experience from a university? I'm an SLPA too, my undergrad univ offered clinical practicum, but I never really received clinical experience. It was more like observation. Did yours offer clinical practicum?
