So I have a couple interviews coming up. One this Friday. I'm very excited, but nervous because this will be my first interview. I found another forum about this, but it is quite old so I thought I would start a new one. Anyways, can anyone give me tips on how to prepare for these interviews...

I'm having trouble completing the extracurricular activity section of PTCAS. If I've held multiple positions within one organization, should I list all of those positions as separate entries, or cram them all into one?

So I didn't realize that I needed to esubmit my application for it to be verified and I just now submitted it. I'm feeling really dumb because it says all over the website to esubmit as soon as possible so that it can be verified in time for deadlines, but for some reason I totally misunderstood...

Hello everyone! I am getting ready to submit my application and I had a couple questions. PTCAS received all my transcripts mid July and my application still hasn't been verified yet. Is it normal to take this long? Will PTCAS inform me if I typed something in wrong in my courses? Also...

Hey guys, I took the GRE about a month ago and I didn't do well on it. I'm so bad at standardized tests. I got a 145 Q, 147 V, and 4.0 AW. I know it's horrible and I was really discouraged because I studied two months for it. Anyway, I've been using Magoosh this time around and my next test...

I spent close to 2 years traveling the world before deciding to change careers and pursue physical therapy. Should I add this to the extracurricular section? It wasnt a service trip, I just wanted to see the world we live in. Thanks!

So I sent my reference an email saying she should be receiving an email from PTCAS about the letter of recommendation and asked her to save a copy of it to send to other schools that aren't on PTCAS. She then replied yes she got it and she always saves copies. But then she asked, if the PTCAS...

So I took the GRE today and it didn't go well at all. I've been studying for two months, but I'm just not good at standardized tests and I freak out under time. I did really well on the practice tests, but when it came down to test time, I froze. I'm planning on taking it again in a month, but...

Hello! So I have a ton of extracurricular activities that I have been involved with throughout college, but I have not had many leadership positions. Just wondering what I should put in the box that says, "Enter the title of the position you held and a brief description of your...

Hey everyone! I recently interviewed for St. Augustine's incoming September 2016 DPT class (for the St. Augustine, FL location) and was notified today that I am on the waitlist. Does this mean that if I am not granted a spot for this most recent incoming class, I will be offered a spot for the...

Hi all, The 2015-2016 cycle was my first time applying to PT school and I have learned a lot from it. I applied to 8 schools and have been wait listed at 2, but the other 6 were "no's". At this point I'm holding out hope that I will get off the wait list, but I am preparing to reapply this...

Has anyone heard from Temple for this application cycle? I submitted back in September and still haven't heard anything. Thanks!
