Did you inquire or did they send out an update? I applied but did not receive anything as of yet.

I got an email from them yesterday. Maybe check your spam folder? Sometimes their emails end up in my spam.

They sent out kind of an "information" email introducing some of the professors and at the bottom it said "p.s interview decisions will hopefully be mad early next week" or something of that nature.

Your stats are absolutely amazing. You definitely deserve a spot in CU Denver's class! Good work.

That's very kind of you!! I've been in CO my whole life and don't get me wrong, their program is amazing!! I received an acceptance from northwestern too, but don't know if I can handle the bitter winters! I JUST WANT TO HEAR BACK FROM DUKE :(:(
 
@Koala327

Oh my gosh me too! I can't even believe you weren't invited for that informational session at Duke! You have pretty much everything I would think a pt school is looking for. I am a little nervous about getting into this cycle. My stats aren't super stellar:

Major: Biomedical sciences at Colorado State University

cGPA: 3.29

pGPA: 3.20

GRE: V150, Q147, W5.0

Hours: 500+ outpatient, 16 inpatient, 50+ volunteering, Worked as an anatomy TA, cadaver lab TA, physical therapy aide for 2 years among other things

Not very impressive numbers but I have so much experience. I'm hoping CO schools maybe consider these hours!

Hey a fellow Coloradan!! At this point I have no idea what schools are really looking at and I think it's an impossible game to win trying to get in the admission committees heads :) Where else have you applied??

When did you hear from Creighton? I applied back in October and haven't heard a thing from them except for information to access my student portal.

Same here. They said they would be sending out more information emails and then interviews but how many information emails between th all who knows. Fingers crossed it's later this week or early next week!
 
Anyone have any insight as to what the interview is like? The email says faculty interview but their website says small group interview with faculty. Not sure what to take from that. Any input would be great!

To those invited to CU Denver interviews: me too! Hooray! But I'm super nervous. I filled out the survey they sent out but I haven't received any confirmation email or anything. Does anyone know their interview specifics yet, or are we all waiting in limbo until after the holidays?

I heard back from Duke in December 13th! I'm putting in my deposit there but I'm still going to go to the Denver interview!
 
What interview group (A,B,C or D) is everyone in and on which day for CU Denver?? I'm in group C on the 28th!
 
Is anyone attending the open house on Friday night for CU? I'm going skiing that day and want to make it for part of it, but I would be coming in ski gear What does everyone think???
 
Just got my acceptance to U of Colorado!!

Thanks you too!!! I'm like 99% sure I am. I have a deposit down at MGH (their deadline was a few weeks ago and I love their program), wanted to make sure I got a spot. I'm gonna take the next week or so to think about it and talk to some folks but I've pretty much had CU as my number one choice throughout this process.

As for the FB group I haven't heard anything but I'm sure they will.

I don't know if or when they are creating a FB group or anything like that, but I have started to look at places in and around Aurora and would love to have roommates to offset the cost of living! If anyone is going to CU Denver and is interested, let me know!
