[mgarcia_2]

i don’t mind sharing! but honestly i don’t think it had to do with my stats really, since they’re pretty average. after i got on the high tier waitlist, i was pretty persistent in showing them that i really want to attend their program and would choose their school over other ones, so i think that’s what might’ve done it? i’m not too sure though

major: psych from UCI
overall gpa: 3.5
prereq gpa: 3.8

Hi! Can I ask how you made it so noticeable that you were very interested in their program over others?

Isn’t it still early for the waitlist? I’ve heard people getting a call like a week or two before the program starts.

Yes, and I have heard of others at WesternU being accepted a week after classes start, as well as others on similar forums being taken off the waitlist months ago this year. So anything is possible. I have been waitlisted at WesternU since January.

I do not, but I see others on the Western DPT 2024 forum that were accepted.

I got off the waitlist last week, but turned down my seat. Hopefully that helps someone!!

What school did you decide to go with, if you don’t mind me asking? Any particular reason you turned down the seat?

I committed to Chapman! Overall, Chapman's DPT program was really strong and I've heard amazing things about the program. So I decided to commit to there instead of Western.

Has anyone who’s on the waitlist for Mount St. Mary’s heard anything recently?

 

[Dptsaveuc]

Got off the waitlist for University of the Pacific (UOP) today, and decided to declined my spot. I hope this helps someone! 😊
