It sucks because it was my top school, but now CSULB is my top school. Also just fyi I emailed Jeff and he said that not until February 1st is when they will expect to send out any getting off the waitlist emails. Just in case it helps anyone decide when to put down deposits for other schools.

Has anyone heard back from Chapman? I had thought we would get our decisions by end of December for the summer cohort.
I haven’t heard anything yet nor did most people I know. I do know that end of December and early January some people got early admission. But I think the first round should be the first week of February around there. So maybe next week or the following for sure.

I heard half of last years class consisted of people on the waitlist so hoping we hear good news!
 
Is anyone here going or knows someone who has gone to Fresno State's interview? What should I expect? Have any tips?

I did last year, it was a group interview where you and 3 others will be with 2 faculty members. They will go around asking each of you questions, sometimes the same question, sometimes a different one. It was pretty general and there wasn't any question that really caught me off guard.

With all interviews, a good way to prepare is to meditate on who you are as a person. Understand your values and your goals. Why are you going into PT, who do you want to help, etc.

Stay relaxed and you'll be able to think on your feet! Good luck!

Did anyone ever get a confirmation email about accepting their waitlist spot for CSULB? Wondering if I should resend it...
 
Congrats! I got accepted too but am still waiting to hear back from other schools before I choose. Are you for sure committing to USC?
I committed to USC residential. Do you guys wanna connect?

Congrats! Would you mind telling me when did you submit your application and when did you receive the offer?

thanks
I got accepted to residential today. I submitted in October and I think they’re sending their 2nd wave of emails in these few days
 
re UCSF waitlist: I think the first wave of students offered a seat in the program had to submit their decisions by Jan 30th or 31st, so if anyone from that group declined, then the waitlist should be starting to pick up this week. Has anyone from the waitlist heard anything yet? Or has anyone who was offered a seat declined?

Well hey, congrats regardless on being in top ten! How much time do they give you to accept the seat?

Do you know where you are planning on attending?

I'm thinking the same as you, still waiting to see SMU and UOP. But as of now, I am leaning toward attending Sac State!

I was also accepted to Sac State this morning! I plan on committing after interviewing with and touring one more school, CSU Fresno. Unless Fresno’s students and faculty really impress me, it’ll likely be Sac this fall. So grateful to be accepted, no more worrying that I won’t be going to PT school!

Same! Will you be accepting or waiting for more offers?
Congratulations!

I'm still waiting on one more school... the decision is difficult because of my partner's job- Sacramento is not the best location for us but it's excellent financially! Going to have to do a lot of thinking but very grateful for the acceptance

Not yet, they said within the next few days so I’m assuming we will get that email by early next week to put the deposit down!

Good luck at your interview with Fresno State!

Sounds like a few of us will be interviewing at Fresno this weekend! I’ve really been enjoying meeting other students and applicants at these in person interviews! Best of luck to everyone and congratulations to those with acceptances so far!

I agree, it's been such a pleasure to meet so many other students and applicants in the process!
Congratulations to everyone's acceptances and best of luck to those who will also be attending the interview day at Fresno tomorrow!!
 
For those considering Fresno and Sac State, has anyone heard or knows if Sac has as much financial aid opportunities in the form of grants or scholarships for in-state applicants as Fresno does? I have read that Fresno is fairly generous and it is an important factor in my decision
 
Just got into Chapman! Anyone plan on attending?

I looked into this after reading your question and it definitely looks like they both have a few DPT specific scholarships listed on their websites. (Sac state https://www.csus.edu/college/health...ternal/_documents/department-scholarships.pdf)
(Fresno State College of Health and Human Services)
(National DPT scholarships Scholarships)
Someone else who attended the Q&A at Fresno yesterday may remember better, but it seemed to me that their answer to this question was a little unclear. If anyone has a better understanding of Fresno's DPT scholarships/grants please correct me, I was very tired by this point of the day and may have missed something.

Thank you for the resources! Btw how did you think you did on the interview at Fresno? What are your thoughts about Fresno vs. Sac State?

Haha I think I just responded to your post on the other forum too! I felt better about my Sacramento interview that I do about my Fresno one, but still managed to establish good rapport with the interviewers and get some points across that were important to me. Just a waiting game now.
At the moment I’m much more impressed by Fresno is how much they love their program and their community. I’m disappointed in Sac because they didn’t have faculty or 2nd and 3rd year students available to talk to outside of your interview. I interviewed with Michael McKeough the chair of Sac’s DPT program and he was very passionate about the program. He talked about how students have abundant opportunity to work with patients before we’re ever sent out for our clinicals. Students seem to really love the program though first semester is intense.
What was your impression of Sac from the interview day?
