Absolutely. I want to get like minded people together in hopes that we can help make each other stronger.
Thank you! Check out last year's forum too. There is a ton of good info.
Let us know how the GRE goes
Bret,
Thanks. Honestly I just used a Kaplan study book. It was a few years old, but the test doesn't change much so I didn't want to spend a bunch of money on the most up-to-date book. Main advice would be really learning about the test itself. There's a number of "test-isms" that will equate to easy points if you just learn about the test. As far as the writing, I have no clue lol that was my worst score. Good Luck!
Niiice. Include that and the Clean in your application and all set haha.
It's been a mixed bag for me. I was fortunate to have our own Battalion Physical Therapist allow me to shadow although it halted during the most restrictive COVID periods. I also drove about an hour several times a week to Fort Stewart to observe there-I just went up to the front desk and asked for a point of contact to email. I also approached physical therapists for teleshadow hours in other states (one was a family friend, one is currently treating my sister, and none of the others ever responded). None of these are traditional..no one was willing to let me creep on FaceTime in the corner at appointments. It was usually a creative agreement of some sort that intended to provide a similar learning experience. I'm not sure if Army Baylor will accept it, but I've denoted it in the application and I think will at least show effort. If you DM me your email, I can send you the email blast I'd send for teleshadow hours. It has options/request of the DPT.
Submitted mine as well. Let us know when you hear back!
Brett, for me it was a few things. 1) a buddy got blown up overseas and lost a few limbs...wanted to help people like him; this confirmed my decision. 2) then I talked about being impressed by the medical technology, human competence saving his life, his road to recovery, and wanting to contribute to it...the story encompassing those 2 was about half my essay...3) a couple cool rehab examples from within my own battalion, 4) my hobbies in various physiology stuff, and 5) some recent innovation/policy endeavors i want to explore.
Nice! Me too!
Congratulations on the interview! Just curious when did you send in your application? I submitted min last night so I'm sure that it would be a while before I get a response if I were to get one. I also applied for Baylor's hybrid program and they sent an interview email almost the next day.
Thanks! Mine was early August ish, so it might be awhile.
Thank you for the advice! I guess we will see then I submitted my complete application around the first week of September, so I am now just patiently waiting. I believe that my essays really capture my desire to be a military PT, so I guess I’ll continue to patiently wait haha.
How did the interview go?
I'm not sure of the exact timeline, but it was less than a week.
I submitted in mid August
Congrats! How’d your interview go?
Nice and when did you hear back for an interview
Yesterday
I heard back for an interview today and I submitted the day before the deadline!
It went pretty great I think! I was pretty nervous going into it, but it wasn't nearly as intimidating as I thought it would be
That’s great! I assume they try to get to know us for the most part?
Also, how long after the interview invite did they contact you to actually schedule it?
I commissioned through ROTC, currently in ARNG, my mentor is a professor there and prior service/ROTC is taken into consideration, along with good GPA, GRE, and LOR!
Did that include your GRE scores? Mine were just received and I'm not sure if they were waiting for them or not!
