danii97 Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Hey everyone! I wanted to get a start on this thread. Has anyone taken the casper? I was hesitant to apply here because they require both that and the GRE. I'd love to hear how it went. Good luck to all who are applying this cycle!

It was my second time taking it so I was used to the format and process already. If you have specific questions about it, I can answer them! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering if we had to retake the CASPer test if we took it last cycle. I emailed the program, and they have not gotten back to me yet. Do you know if we have to retake it?

Miso1234 Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Is teaching experience looked on well on applications? (thinking of applying next year, but my only significantly impressive stat is teaching hours and GRE, most of everything else is around average) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjojo Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 How long on average did it take you guys to get a confirmation email? The only timeline I see in here is the 5/20 and 6/11 confirmation email. Did it take everyone this long? Just want to make sure before I panic! Thank you guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ngab234 Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Does anyone know if they tend to accept out of state students (I'm from Virginia)? Or is it extremely hard to get in if you're not a Texas resident? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
