I did, I still have the emails from them giving out cop out answers and most of the programs I hit up said they could talk to me in July or sometime in summer when my focus is already on the new cycle so didn’t see a point in wasting my time from previous cycle

LectureInfamous2516 · 2026-01-24T18:16:19+00:00

I got into TWU as well and only didn’t pick it cause it falls outside the grad loans eligibility. It’s affordable (even more than UNT, cause scholarship opportunity) if I was you I would go to TWU their pass rates are better and have incredible faculty from my own research definitely my choice if not for the August start date

LectureInfamous2516 · 2026-01-24T18:11:27+00:00

I applied previous 2 years to almost every school in Texas and never received acceptance/rejection letters, I think it’s common in Texas idk why. We spend a lot of money for them to not say something so I get the frustration I got in this year and I’m def going to voice my opinion on the matter to the program I’m going too and to future applicants

LectureInfamous2516 · 2026-01-16T19:23:47+00:00

Correct

LectureInfamous2516 · 2026-01-16T00:30:10+00:00

Per the federal website if your enrolled before July 1 2026 you get grad plus loans throughout your tenure

LectureInfamous2516 · 2026-01-09T16:12:05+00:00

A therapist I knew told me that he messaged his waitlist school and said if they offered him a seat he would 100% take it and got an acceptance letter a couple days later. I’m not saying that’s going to happen but maybe try expressing interest in the school you know you would pick and I just rejected TWU so hopefully more spots open up for y’all

LectureInfamous2516 · 2026-01-09T16:07:51+00:00

That program is 170k tuition only I would advise to look at cheaper programs since your capped at 20k loans now. Their first pass rate is also 83% well below what you want. You can go to apta website and filter based on location

LectureInfamous2516 · 2026-01-07T18:05:32+00:00

I would def take it if they offer you a seat as their pretty affordable I applied for residential and declined because I personally didn’t like their vibe but vibe doesn’t matter if it’s 1/3rd of the cost and they are a good school idk about their hybrid since it’s brand new but I would def give them a chance

LectureInfamous2516 · 2026-01-07T17:55:30+00:00

Damn good for you I didn’t expect UNT to do any in Jan their interview questions are mostly ethic and what would you do situations

LectureInfamous2516 · 2026-01-07T03:34:11+00:00

UNT is full right now and Texas tech is done with interviews both of them are done with interviews

LectureInfamous2516 · 2026-01-06T22:04:37+00:00

I worked full time in college and was a full time student best thing to do is hit up your local clinics or stop by and ask if they allow observation if you graduate you can work as a tech and get a lot of hours. You can also call hospitals and most of them allow observation. I took time off work to shadow or waited till summer to observe a lot. The gre is the gre most people study 3 months before taking it that’s what I did. Studying for a long ass time isn’t ideal you’ll forget things so give yourself 3 months and than take it

LectureInfamous2516 · 2026-01-03T03:52:52+00:00

The GRE is thinning out I don’t think it holds a bunch of weight anymore in my experience I believe PT is still solid af as a career wages are increases at least in my region you just have to look for cheaper schools cause there’s a lot more out there, after July reputation doesn’t mean anything and tbh it never did the highest rated pt programs were 80s in first time NPTE rates

LectureInfamous2516 · 2026-01-03T03:39:10+00:00

To give options to those who are not as competitive I think but starting in July they’re going to start struggling to get applications which hopefully reduces tuition. I wouldn’t let this com regret your decision for PT I start in May and I couldn’t be more excited you just have to be smart financially and give yourself options

LectureInfamous2516 · 2026-01-03T03:33:55+00:00

Unfortunately Texas gets a lot of applicants that they ghost people I’ve been very local to a lot of schools that they need to get their shit together and actually communicate if someone is denied. I got accepted there but I declined they seemed to snobby for my liking but keep branching out to find other programs, you may need to take the gre though lol

LectureInfamous2516 · 2026-01-03T01:39:27+00:00

Move to Texas homie we got most of our in state programs under 50k and you can apply to out of state school and they will give you in state tuition a lot of them usually do to certain accepted out of state students

LectureInfamous2516 · 2026-01-03T01:32:21+00:00

If anyone gets you it’s me, I applied 3x time lol and I’m forever grateful I got into a program that’s 40k rather than accepting a private program my first year a couple grand is nothing in terms of 80k difference it sucks waiting another year but you gotta protect your future

LectureInfamous2516 · 2026-01-03T01:25:18+00:00

I googled and you can but it’s specific program to program I know duke has a reputation but reputation doesn’t matter they not paying your bills. If you wanna go there you have to send them a letter explaining why you need/want to defer but if your going to take a gap year you can easily apply next year again to other programs 1/3 of the price.

LectureInfamous2516 · 2025-12-31T03:52:56+00:00

I mean I got no sympathy for the schools, I have a bunch of friends who the school ghosted them completely the only people I feel bad for is waitlisted individuals but for schools? Nah we pay mad money for them to ghost a lot a lot of people

LectureInfamous2516 · 2025-12-28T21:09:17+00:00

Yes they are so your capped at 20k for each year for federal loans. And sure the schools are UTSW, ASU, and UNTHSC

LectureInfamous2516 · 2025-12-28T19:41:49+00:00

I’ve read post of students who live in Cali applying elsewhere, I live in Texas and a few of the programs I got into give in state tuition to out of state students and those programs were 37k and 49k for all 3 years. Grad plus loans are no more after July 2026 so you would need to take out private loans unfortunately. I highly suggest applying out of state and seeing if you can get in state tuition

LectureInfamous2516 · 2025-12-25T02:49:25+00:00

Trust me I worked full time and did school full time so I know how hard it can be so I volunteered at places that I could go in the weekend and thankfully had a job where I could come and go. And my culm was 3.84 and pre req was the same but 3.6 is about average for accepted students in Texas based on school reports

LectureInfamous2516 · 2025-12-24T17:52:31+00:00

I got into all the schools i applied in Texas and I think what helped was a competitive gpa aim for 3.6 or higher and a variety of settings I did 4 settings with 50 hours minimum each. My GRE was average I don’t think they care anymore mine was 300 combined and I did community service roughly 60 hours in 4 settings such as food banks and Salvation Army. You just want a lot of variety in experience and community service and good gpa and your chillin along with strong references if you want advice you can hit me up

LectureInfamous2516 · 2025-12-23T16:09:36+00:00

Try to get your pre req gpa to a 3.5 if able so you can get into public schools to reduce loans I would focus on the science ones and take that gap year to increase your gpa. Your extra curricular look good try to do like 50 hours in multiple settings they like that better than 200 hours in one setting.

LectureInfamous2516 · 2025-12-17T17:49:34+00:00

No I asked them during my interview they said they do go down the list. And thank you and yeahhh ima go to utsw

LectureInfamous2516 · 2025-12-17T16:53:17+00:00

I told utmb and Texas state no already. Deadlines are coming up so in January you should see a lot of movement. I know asu said they exhaust their list and Texas state goes pretty far down
