just wanted to see who else has an interview at univ. of st. augustine, and how you are preparing...? anyone have any other insight on current issues in PT, other than direct access?

so how did interviews go for those of you who went last weekend? mine went well i think, haven't heard anything back yet though... anyone else? keeping my fingers crossed!
I have a question about the best way to file your tax return in regards to grad school loans. I am taking a year off after undergrad and have been accepted into PT school. for fall 2008 I am working now , but can still file 2008 as a dependent on my parents return.
Do I stand a better chance of getting subsidized loans if I file on my own , will fasfa take less of a look at my parents income if I'm not listed on their return as a dependent.
Thanks
OMG! I just got the call!!!!!! ACCEPTED
I will be starting in the September 2009 class too. To all that got in, has anyone started the financial aid process yet? I filled out my FAFSA and now I am working on finding an apartment so I can be settled by the fall. So much to do...
When I logged onto FAFSA today they said my application was processed but did not tell me what I qualified for. Will the school tell me this information? I dont have any loans from my undergrad so I dont know how this works.
It looks like from you previous posts you will be attending in San Diego, I will be going to the St, Aug, Florida program.
Thanks for the info!
well the total amount is for $20500, and unless you have a lot of money saved you will qualify for all of it! Dian told me that pretty much everyone qualifies as long as you dont have a ton of money, which i would guess if your applying for financial aid you dont!..so the $20500 is for all 3 trimester so its $6833 per trimester. If you need more than you need to apply for the grad plus loan!
Hey! the $20500 is what? the loans FAFSA offers???? and if I will need more than that a year, but I read that Grad plus loans are offered up to the amount of attendance minus any other aid. What does that mean exactly? If I'm applying for it's because I need more
IT does! Thanks!
hahaha sorry If I seemed ignorant but I think I'm just really worried!
Vinti112, Thanks for the advice. do you remember the type of interview questions you were asked and the essay what type of questions were those. and I guess the current issues would be found on the apta website right? what is the cost of living prices like for apartments and houses and stuff down in flordia. Do you like the town and activities. sorry so many questions.KGdpt -
I interviewed at St. Aug Florida campus in February. The basic layout is similar each semester. You start in an auditorium with all the people interviewing that day for all three programs (about 200 people). The president speaks and some program professors speak. Then Q and A with current students. Then you break into smaller groups and tour the campus, spend an hour writing a short essay and have a "one on one" interview.
The interview itself is two faculty members (or one faculty and one alumni) and you and one other applicant. The interview lasts about and hour so they ask you anything and everything.
My suggestions would be know some background on the school, know why you want to attend their program over others, and know some general issues in the PT field currently (direct access, reimbursement issues), dress very professionally (wear a suit), and be yourself!
Let me know if you have any more questions!
