* I applied to several other schools, but didn't follow through with them after receiving interview offers from my top choices.

I hope this goes to show that stats aren't everything! I was sooo worried about applying with my stats considering they are bare minimum for a lot of programs, but I did anyway. The schools that rejected me were the only ones that didn't interview me first so I believe there is something to be said about the weight of interviewing. That's my two cents, anyway. Good luck everyone!!!

ViscaBarca - Congrats on the acceptance. That was a gamble applying to only one school, but it looks like that paid off.

Thanks. It was a bit of a gamble but I only wanted to attend a state school and of the three that are closest to me it was my best choice. For CSU Fresno I would have had to wait another year because in order to apply you have to finish all the prereq classes by the fall you apply and I still needed a couple classes. For San Francisco State since they require less prerequisite classes, I would have had a lower prereq GPA because I took some of the classes early on in college when I did not know what I was going to end up doing. I was able to raise my prereq GPA for Sacramento since I did really well on the extra classes that I needed.

Interviews: USA

(only applied to USA!)


I see you got accepted at USA. Have you started the program? Can you give me some details on the application process? Info such as interview questions, time between application, interview, and final acceptance. It's one of my top choices for PT school.

Has anyone heard from their schools who is applying to start in 2010? I know a girl that already got accepted somewhere, just wondering if any schools starting sending out those wonderful acceptance packets yet?

What is NUPTHMS? That's quite possibly the longest acronym for a school ever!

Haha, I'd have to agree with you there.
It's actually still shorter than writing out their name: Northwestern University in Chicago.

In case you were curious, the acronym is for:
Northwestern University Physical Therapy and Human Movement Sciences
