I have just been selected for an interview at midwestern university at downer's grove.

has anyone interviewed here within the last year?
what do you guys think of the program?

When I applied to grad school, my only regret is not taking into consideration flight costs for interviews..... :/
 
Hello! Would you mind sharing your stats? I applied to DG back in August and still have not heard anything from them about an interview, it's driving me crazy!
 
my stats are pretty embarrassing to say the least, but if it makes y
ou feel better here they are:

GPA: 3.57
Cumm GPA: (for this program specifically- 3.6 ish)

GRE-

142- Verbal
145- Quant
4- Writing

(Yes... I know my GRE's are significantly lower than the typical you would expect)

Hours:

150- outpatient
230- home health
45- NFL sports physical therapy
45- sub-acute nursing rehab

extra curricular- training camp/ pre-season intern for the bears
 
I interviewed with them in December! They have really nice facilities! Their cadaver lab is HUGE! and has windows on three sides overlooking their campus. It's little but that's okay 🙂 It's in a very nice area too! Living is pricey around there though. It's not too far from Chicago, which is nice. They start in the summer. They have a nice layout for classes, but the class sizes are larger. The pt program has 54 (I believe) students. They work with the other professions that go there which is great! I was accepted but turned it down because it's not my dream school. I also got into Concordia University Wisconsin, Northern Illinois University, and Rosalind Franklin. I was waitlisted at UW Milwaukee and University Illinois at Chicago.

My stats after the academic update(according to PTCAS):

Total GPA: 3.82
Science GPA (I've taken everything but physiology): 3.62
PT Prereqs: 3.75

GRE: 152V, 157Q, 4.5 writing

Observation Hours:

Early intervention pediatrics: 25
Nursing Home: 28
Outpatient Ortho:44
Outpatient ortho/women's health: 60

I would visit! It's a great school and campus!

Ditto to this. I also applied to MW-Az and have been waitlisted but haven't heard anything back from DG. I assume they haven't rejected us, but sounds like they've been interviewing regularly.

Let me know if you hear anything or status changes.

cGPA: 3.2
last60 GPA: 3.6
cGRE: 320

I still haven't heard anythng from DG either. Have you heard back in the last month? I got an interview and I'm an alternate at the Arizona campus, they got back to me quickly... almost the week I applied. But DG hasn't said a word accept your application is complete.

Anyone out there know what the deal is with Midwestern DG?
