TWU Spring 2010

[goopsy]

Is anyone out there applying to TWU for the Spring of 2010? Just thought that I would start a group for all of us hopefuls so we could share information and have a way to communicate with each other.

Have you taken your HESI A2 yet? Have you taken all of your pre-reqs? If not, what do you have left to take?

I have taken all of my pre-reqs, and I just took my HESI yesterday. I didn't think it was bad at all, but I prepared for it for about 3 weeks.

If you haven't noticed, TWU has made some slight changes that I think some people will not be happy with. They are taking into consideration the first grade made at pre-req attempts for several of the classes like A&P, micro, and another class. What do you think of this? I wonder how it will change the applicants chances of getting in?

Good luck and I look forward to meeting you!

Ali523- supposably it only takes like a week after your interview to know if your in or not.

oh thats good! it took about a month and a half after ut's interviews for us to find out, and i couldn't imagine having to wait until december!

hello! i just wanted a little advice...i just got invited for interview at UTMB..and even though that doesn't mean ill get in i just don't know if i should go because i already accepted TWU's offer..what would you do? which school do you think is bettter and why? TWU is more convenient for me but UTMB was always my first choice..

I would go for the interview. Otherwise, you would probably be playing the "I wonder..." or "What if..." game with yourself. Why is UTMB your first choice? I don't know about UTMB's program so I can't help a lot. Definately stay committed to TWU, and if you get the acceptance from UTMB, make your choice then.

I never had the chicken pox vaccine but I had the chicken pox...they aren't going to make me get the vaccine are they or just the blood test?

Oh and I just got off the phone with the Denton campus and they said that they are not sending out the packets to the Houston people until next week...

i went to the open house a couple weekends ago, they didn't let us see the labs or anything, so i was kind of diappointed in the whole thing. the beginning is a bunch of people talking about different things, but its mostly on how to apply, etc. so it wasn't useful

They will want a titer on you. The doctor will draw blood and test it for chicken pox immunity. They will want a copy of the lab report for the varicella titer.

ok guys, i think i'm leaning towards ut health science center for school...does anybody have any reasons why i should choose twu over ut? or if you didn't apply to ut, why not?

I know! Just because we are a newer campus doesn't mean we always have to be last with everything.They should send everything out the same time regardless of the campus.
