For MSMU I don’t think they gave us a specific date.

I was offered admission earlier this week at Chapman with my deposit due on March 8. Not sure if I’ll accept it yet, but it seems that Chapman has started reaching out to students on the waitlist. 😊

were you on the waitlist & if so what tier?

 

[stressedcilantro]

were you on the waitlist & if so what tier?

I was on the waitlist, but I don’t know what tier I was. From what I’ve heard, there is movement on their waitlist in past years so I wouldn’t give up hope!

 

[kenziemae]

Rejected from CSUN last night

 

[rosy1997]

Rejected from CSUN last night

[letsdothispts]

Waitlisted to CSUN, #119

 

[letsdothispts]

Also, I got a call from Sacramento State yesterday and have been taken off the waitlist and offered a seat in their program. Definitely will be accepting! Is anyone here planning on attending Sac State? And if so, is anyone looking for roommates?

 

[dpt_gabs]

Rejected from CSUN last night

[FutureDPT24]

Anyone not heard from CSUN yet

 

[dptatusc]

Has anyone else gotten off of the Long Beach waitlist?

 

[Member 415]

Also received the same news!

Same as well, but got accepted to my top choice Good luck everyone!

 

[spikeDPT]

Declined my spot at CSUN yesterday, good luck to everyone on the waitlist!

 

[moink]

how likely or how often do people get off the CSULB high tier waitlist??
and how long should I wait before I give up hope lol

 

[dptatusc]

I asked them but they won’t tell me anything. I also asked whether people come off the waitlist in groups or individually, to which they replied “I don’t see how this would be helpful to you.” So that’s fun!

I originally accepted their offer but just decided to go to a different school, so will be giving up my seat tomorrow. Keep holding on, some people end up getting off the waitlist right before the start date! Good luck!

Last year I only applied to CSULB bc I wanted to figure out the applicaton process ( didn't want to spend huge amounts of money and mess up ya'know).

I got on High Tier Waitlist for CSULB on Jan. 15th. 2020.

Then I was notified "Cohort is Full & Waitlist closed" on April 27th, 2020.

If you emailed Jeff from CSULB, I totally understand how to feel. His emails are cold.

My friend who is a 2nd year CSULB DPT student said he's actually a really cool guy but that's just how he is on email. 😅

Oh so at least they tell you when the cohort is full? That’s good

 

[nattachai]

Does anyone here got a waitlist at CSUN but get offer admission? If so, I want to know your waitlist number. Wanna see how far they will go down the list.

 

[rosy1997]

Same as well, but got accepted to my top choice Good luck everyone!

Congrats! What school will you be attending?

 

[Member 415]

Congrats! What school will you be attending?

Thank you! Samuel Merritt University in Oakland, CA

 

[kenziemae]

So for those who applied already to Azusa for the January 2022 start date, the first interview dates will be around March 26th. They should be sending out notifications on interview invites soon!

 

[shmulyic135]

Also rejected from CSUN, but just received an email that I was waitlisted at West Coast University.

 

[dpt_gabs]

Got a phone call today, 3/2, from UCSF at 9:30am PST, and I got off the waitlist! Offered admission! 🙏🏽 Just waiting for that confirmation email now. For the people who got accepted, how long did you have to wait to get that email?

 

[dpt_gabs]

I also got accepted into West Coast University today, 3/2, at 1pm PST. They sent an email 🙏🏽

Congrats!! That’s awesome! Do you mind sharing your stats?

 

[dpt_gabs]

Congrats!! That’s awesome! Do you mind sharing your stats?

Thank you so much! Here are my stats:

cGPA: either 3.67 or 3.71, not sure which GPA they looked at
pGPA: somewhere between 3.03-3.07
GRE: 144V, 142Q, 4.0W
Observation Experience:
184 hours in pediatrics, geriatrics, ortho, SNF, in-patient setting, etc.
Extracurricular Activities/Volunteer Experience:
-Volunteer with an organization that focuses on children with disabilities
-Volunteer at a recreation and rehabilitation center
-Vice President of pledge class in fraternity (community service based org, co-ed)
-Student Researcher at Adapted Physical Activity Lab at undergrad university
-Employed as an after-school program teacher at the YMCA

Awards/Recognitions:
Magna Cum Laude honors at graduation
Dean's List all throughout college

Letters of Rec:
1 from therapeutic exercise professor
1 from YMCA supervisor
2 from PTs

Applied: UCSF/SFSU, Pacific University, University of St. Augustine, CSUN, Western University, West Coast University, Boston University, College of St. Mary, American International College

Rejected: Pacific University, Boston University, CSUN

Waitlisted: UCSF/SFSU, Western University

Withdrew App: University of St. Augustine, College of St. Mary

Accepted: UCSF/SFSU (Will attend! It's my top choice), West Coast University, American International College

I would just like to add too that scores and GPAs do matter, but to an extent. For the people who are down about a low score, GPA, etc. (because I was very hard on myself about them too), there are schools like UCSF/SFSU and West Coast who holistically look at your application. My GRE scores are beyond low (I was actually hesitant to even post them) but I am living proof that as long as you have other things that you can offer to schools you should be fine. I wish someone told me this during the whole process of applying, and I honestly didn't even think I would be offered admission to schools who required the GRE.

Omg thank you so much! I rly appreciate this🥰 Ur encouragement means so much to me. UCSF is literally my dream school and I’m worried since my GRE score isn’t the best. It also sucks cuz my observation hrs aren’t super diverse but hopefully they will consider the other activities I’ve done too! Congrats again on getting in!!

I AGREE.

My GRE scores were around the same as yours and my prereq and cum GPA were about a 3.5 and I still got accepted to schools.

I never thought I would get accepted because of my numbers- but there are some fabulous schools that do look holistically, like you said!

Congrats on getting accepted to schools! I love how you can relate to my situation bc I thought I was the only one with low GRE scores 😅

When did you get notified/when is the deadline for your decision?

 

[stressedcilantro]

I was offered an interview for Western University, but withdrew my application and I also declined my seat at Chapman. So there will probably be some movement from those 2 schools. 😊

 

[rysb]

When did you get notified/when is the deadline for your decision?

I didn’t get an offer from the waitlist so I’m not sure what those details would be ): I just took myself off the waitlist because I got into my number 1 program

 

[jnikki]

When’s the interview?

March 26th

 

[kenziemae]

March 26th
