TWU Fast Track Summer '09

jtbrass · Mar 18, 2009

For those of you who did not get accepted...did you guys receive a rejection letter of some sort because I did not receive anything.

We have until the 25th to accept or decline the offer. They may be waiting until then to see if any additional spots open up before sending "rejection" letters.

I am new to this post but I too applied for the '09 TWU fast track program and did not receive an email like the others did. I received my rejection letter last friday :cry: So yes they do send out rejection letters.

Sandy02... welcom! you can post your post under twu Fall 2009. Last Thursday, they sent out another 20 emails to the top 20 students accepted to the traditional program. Other students accepted will get snail mails. I'm not sure if you are still considering traditional program.

For those of you starting this summer, where do you live? I have a huge dilemma because I live in southwest Fort Worth and am trying to decide if I should continue living here for free and commute everyday, or if I should find somewhere closer to the campus to live. Any suggestions will help!

for the ones who didnt get accepted are you automatically put into the traditional applicant pool?

Sophia1983 · Mar 24, 2009

Yes Prettyladie... it is automatic... I've checked with them

and what if those people dont want to do a traditional program and they strictly want accelerated, can they tell them and say hey i dont want to be in this pool? or would they have to wait and see if they got accepted and then decline.

mmm....let me correct myself a little. I think on the application to the nursing program, there is a selection for you to pick whether you want to be considered traditional or not. For those people who did not pick that option, i think their applications won't be considered. However i think very small amount of people would have done that if there were any. For those who picked the choice to be considered, their applications will be automatically processed in the traditional pool. I am not sure if this helps you.

jt brass --- I live in Grapevine, so my commute will be about 30 min (without traffic), which I'm dreading enough! Living for free is very nice...however, commuting is draining, and you will already be drained from school. Also, our class times will necessitate driving during peak traffic hours. In my opinion, living closer to the school and Dallas hospitals would be beneficial for you. There are some nice apartments around 114 and McArthur. I'm sure there's tons of stuff even closer, but I'm not familiar with it. Good luck with the decision!

sophia. that makes perfect sense. thanks.

jtbrass · Mar 25, 2009

I actually live an hour away without traffic. What I'm thinking about doing is taking the TRE. I would still have two hours a day of commuting but they will be on the train where I don't have to worry about driving or anything else. I can sleep, read, whatever. The problem I have with getting an apartment is that I would pretty much have to live off of student loans to do so. Considering the fact I'm already paying off student loans from my first degree, I'm not too keen on that idea.
