Anyone applying to TWUs TETN Cycle 10 program? If so, what region are you in? What’re your stats?

Hi everyone!!! I have recently decided on attending TWU's On campus Speech Language Pathology Program in the fall (August 2018). I am currently looking for roommates in the Denton area!!!

Hello! I’m trying to get some info about TWU. Does anyone go here for undergrad, grad, or know much about it? Is anyone else accepted on here and going or considering? I’m wondering what a typical week looks like. I know classes are on both the Denton and Dallas campuses and are in the evening usually...How often do you have practicum? It seems like you go somewhere different every semester, do you have a say in the location and/or type of sites? Where should you live since it seems like traveling is inevitable?! Any info is appreciated!

I was looking in the online system and it looks like I was rejected outright for the LMFT Master's program at TWU. I'm rather baffled as my stats were, I thought, good enough to place me high up on the acceptance list. I'm trying to sort out what happened so I can shore up application deficiencies for such time when I reapply and for applications to other institutions. I have a B.S. from UTD, a double major in psychology and child learning and development. I graduated magna cum laude (top 10%) with a cumulative GPA of 3.895. I have a year of experience as a research assistant for the behavioral and brain PhD. program head, and two semesters of teaching internship for another professor so my letters of recommendation ought to be solid (TBH though, I haven't viewed them as I've heard that's a no-no). I have over a year volunteer experience for a crisis line, hundreds of hours of volunteer with animal rescue, homeless shelters, and student organizations -- including a service award from UTD for amount of volunteer hours served. I even took a Master's level class for undergraduate credit in my final semester in order to demonstrate I could handle the material. The only item I'm lacking is a GRE score, which this program didn't require. I'd initially geared my application to be competitive for UTSW's Clinical/Counseling PhD. program as it has the most demanding cutoff point in the area. At this point I'm a little terrified there's some glaring problem in my application that caused me to get an interview, but then be rejected outright. I did my first two years at a community college and got an A.S. before I transferred to UTD, I don't think that would have counted against me though? I did get an invitation to interview for another similar program in the same department, the LPC program. I'm not certain if that means anything at all as I applied to both. The requirements for the program were: 3.25 GPA on last 60 hours Letter of intent Participation in Interview Day There were only four candidates for the Master's program on TWU's interview day. It seems like lack of space wouldn't have been the issue. I'm curious if my age had something to do with it? I'm 40, which is older than traditional students, but I don't know if that had anything to do with my rejection. Perhaps I really bombed the interview or written essay portion after the interview? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated as this is causing a bit of an existential crisis.

Just curious if anyone else on here applied to the TWU TETN program for cycle 9? I am starting to get nervous. I'm region 12.

Hey everyone! I have officially decided to attend TWU, beginning in the summer, for Speech-Language Pathology. I was wondering if anyone else on here is planning on going there, as well?

Has anyone heard back from these schools yet? UNT, TWU, TCU, Baylor
