I was wondering if anyone had an opinion of which school to go to. I am currently trying to decide if i should accept my offer to go to Fresno, or should I wait for either Northridge or Long Beach to reply first. Any opinions are welcomed. Thanks!

If I were you, i would accept the offer from Fresno especially if you haven't heard back from other schools. Just in case, you didn't get into the other school, you still have this one school to fall back to.

I had to accept the offer from one of the school that i applied while i waited to hear back from other schools. Luckily, the school that I accepted to go didn't have an expensive deposit.

If you can afford to send a deposit to more than one school, I'd send the deposit to CSU Fresno just to secure a seat somewhere. My understanding is that people don't find out from CSULB until late april - may. I don't know about CSUN though.

what do you consider a deposit that isn't expensive, I had a $500 and $750

My deposit to university of nebraska medical center was only 100 dollars but i know a lot of schools require more than that.

there's no deposit, however they want to know by March 3rd if i will be attending or not attending. I don't know if i can or can't get out of going if i agree to attend CSU Fresno. CSUN said they would let me know by mid march.

I don't see why you wouldn't be able to get out of it. I would imagine that like many PT schools they would probably get a bunch of people who turn down their seat after they have accepted. But if you're still unsure, call and ask what the policy is.

Personally, if there is no deposit required to save your seat then I would accept. It'll make waiting for the other schools a lot easier knowing you are at least going to PT school somewhere.

I go to Fresno too. I figure this post has been almost a year.
Well, so did you come to Fresno?

It seems like there hasn't been much discussion on the thread title. any new thoughts on CSUN vs CSULB? CSUN has the attractively low tuition. But I think LB is known for wonderful weather. I'd like to hear some pros/cons for the program itself, the campus, surrounding neighborhood, ease/difficulty of transportation, housing, etc. The works! Any input is appreciated =)

I'm interested too. I'm also interested to hear about CSU Sacramento. Has anyone heard from any of these schools? Does anyone know if CSULB conducts interviews?

 

[ad10]

how do you guys feel about the Northridge program being a master's program as opposed to a dpt program?

Has anyone been accepted to any of these 3 programs yet for this year??

I was accepted to CSULB yesterday. I would assume the rest should be relatively soon.

Congrats!! Did they phone you?
