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...

Would it be a bad idea to only apply to schools that do not require the GRE ? I narrowed those searches down to the schools (not requiring the GRE) I would like to attend I had planned on taking my GRE next month , but only two schools I want to go to require the GRE and I think I'll survive...

Hello, I'm really confused on how to send my GRE scores to PTCAS. I already inputted my scores, but do I need to send them to each individual school? Or just have them be verified on PTCAS in general? I'm really confused so any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance!!

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...

I have a rather different/unusual situation, I accept the criticism and other ideas of routes to pursue as a job. Freshman, and Sophomore year: I attended a small private university where I competed in Division II Cross Country/Track & Field. Upon transferring, I ended with a 3.34 overall GPA...

Wondering if anyone knows of any schools with no cadaver lab for gross anatomy or a simulated/ artificial cadaver lab? really want to be a pt but the cadaver lab seriously freaks me out and has me worried.

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...

Looking for some words of wisdom and hopefully some uplifting advice regarding the application process for PT school... Really hoping to stay away from negative energy so please only helpful (not hurtful) comments. They say knowledge is power and that is what I'm here for. I am new to the...

Does anyone have any insight on Florida PT schools? Anything like pros/cons, admission tips or advice, things that are more important for an individual school, etc. I'll be applying to UCF, UF, UNF, USF, FGCU, St. Augustine, and Nova Southeastern this summer.

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...

Hello, I will be applying for the summer/fall 2017 cycle this upcoming summer. The PTCAS application officially opens on July 1, 2016. Am I able to start filling out info on the application like classes taken, observation hours, etc., or will it delete everything and make me start again on July 1?

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

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has heard back from Rosalind Franklin DPT yet for the final interview on January 16th? I applied a little too late in the game to make it to the earlier dates, but I haven't heard anything yet and now the interview is only a month away.
