Hey guys, I'm a student in the ASU DPT program right now. Glad to hear you got an interview. I believe they've gotten a couple hundred applications, are interviewing about 40ish students, and are accepting 20.
There are aspects about the program that I like, and others that I dont.
For starters, its cheap. I'm pretty sure its the cheapest program in TX. They also offer a good amount of assistance. Sure its not the top program around, or even in the state, but the quality of education that I personally feel I am getting is disproportionate to the cheap cost of the school. In other words, I feel like it is a good program, despite being low(er) cost.
The classes are small. They only take 20 per class, so the student-teacher ratio is very good. All of the professors are pretty good about helping you out. The guy who runs the program is more research oriented rather than clinically focused, but he does a good job of making sure everyone is on track and staying afloat with the coursework.
I only have a couple gripes, and I'm not really going to get into those on a public forum, but lets just say that there are some disorganization issues, particularly when it comes to the placement of students in clinical affiliations/rotations. There are a lot of cool opportunities to travel and intern at various clinics around the country, but its a hassle to get it all set up.
I hope you've got a lot of background in anatomy, because the first semester (Anatomy/Phys, Neuroscience, Ex Phys) was brutal. In terms of subject matter and workload, it was very intense.
Again congrats on your interview, if you have any further questions, PM me and we can talk more about it.
