Contacting Schools

So my question, though borne from impatience and worry, is one that I think is worth mentioning...

Is it a good idea to contact schools directly and ask about whether they've received my application and if they consider it complete and ready for review, etc? I'm curious because a number of schools have contacted me saying they've received my apps and are reviewing it, but about half have not. Just curious/ impatient. Thanks in advance 👍

I personally think there's no harm in doing so. I contacted all three of the schools I applied to to verify they received my transcripts and GRE information.

Considering how competitive and expensive the application process is for PT, I think it's a great idea to make sure that a) every school received all information it required and b) there are no discrepancies in your application or you forgot to send something.

Hope this helps! 🙂

I have also contacted all 3 schools that I applied to as well, to double check everything. 🙂

Double check. Last year, I didn't hear from one school and turned out my letter inviting me to an interview got lost in the mail! It is worth dropping an email! Good luck!

There is no harm in doing so. You should contact those schools that have not contacted you themselves regarding the status of your application. You should call 'em and ask if they've received all application materials. Double check to make sure! 😱
