Hey everyone,
This is my first time posting here so hopefully it's in the right area. I'm a senior in my undergrad and was looking for some advice on the PT application cycle for 2019-2020. Barring taking the GRE, I have completed the rest of my application just recently and am set to take the GRE in a few days. The list of schools I'm applying is 6-7, but I understand that I'm applying a bit late in the process as most deadlines are either in October/beginning of November. My question is should I not expect much in terms of getting a seat at the schools I apply to because I submitted later than most? For some of the schools I applied to there are ED but only a few have rolling admissions, which obviously might affect my chances. For reference, I put my stats below if that puts things into perspective. Thanks for any help and advice!
