I think you have a decent chance man
Try to get a minimum of 300 combined in your GRE, and I'm sure you'll get a few interviews

You have awesome stats, but I would suggest applying to a few programs that start January 2019 or maybe some non-PTCAS programs that have a later deadline as a back-up considering you are applying so late.

I’ve always wondered what’s so appealing about American International college? Their tuition it’s way too expensive. Even if it was the only school that would accept me 150k for the program plus livings expenses it’s simply outrageous and out of reach.

Hi! I applied to University of Scranton and American International College as well. I received a letter in the mail that I was accepted to American International College on January 3rd. You have great stats so I feel like you could also get accepted to AIC. I have not heard anything from Scranton yet. Good luck!

Hi!
Congrats on your acceptance! Did AIC require an interview?

 

[dptwannabee13]

Hi!

Nope. They do not require an interview. Below I copy and pasted some info that might be useful that was in an email I received from AIC.

I have submitted my application and it has been verified by PTCAS. When will a decision be made on my application?

• All students who have applications that are submitted and verified by December 1st can expect a decision via mail by the end of February. Students who submit applications for the April 1st deadline can expect a decision via mail by the end of May.

 

[RgyCgn]

I don't recommend applying to Maryland, I'm pretty sure they automatically reject apps with GPA's below like 3.7 or 3.8.

Thank you

I just applied to American International College on December 19th app was already verified. So I wont hear back from them until May?

Hey guys, I applied to University of Scranton on Dec. 23, 2017. I haven't gotten an email from them
saying they have recieved my application...I called them last week and they said their system takes a while (4-5 weeks) to
process the application. I'm getting kind of scared now since their deadline is in three days... Has anyone here
applied to this school?

 

[dptwannabee13]

Yeah, I think you wont hear from them until May. Hope you hear something good though. I declined my offer from them

I just got an email saying they recieved my application from PTCAS, but they recieved it
after the Feb 1 deadline...so I don't know if they will even consider my application for review.

You have a good chance , I had similar stats and got interviews from 4 out of the 6 schools I applied. My gpa started pretty bad and had a high upward trend, ended up with a 3.4 cumulative. When I applied my ptcas gpa was a 3.29.

I had a decent GRE (307), that might've helped me as well. Get more shaddowing hours in other settings and work on your E.C.'s (research, clubs) and you'll be good

CONGRATS ON THE ACCEPTANCE TO AIC!!! Do u mind sharing ur stats?

 

[np3715]

Hi, I am going to be applying to Columbia, Stony Brook, Touro, NYMC, NYIT, NYU, U of Scranton, U of Miami, U of Maryland-Eastern Shore and Lebanon Valley College. I have a 3.65 overall GPA, and about a 3.60 Pre-Req GPA. I will be racking up my observation hours this summer in 2 in-patient settings and an outpatient setting. I am apart of 2 honor societies, have held a part-time job for 5 years now, volunteered at places around my school and did intramural sports. I am taking my GRE this summer before I apply, so I am hoping for a high score to make my resume better. I am wondering what my chances are for the schools I listed above or any chance at all of getting accepted to PT school. Thank you!!

Hi there. Did you apply to aic this cycle?
I have an overall 3.73 gpa I think my pre-requisites for aic was a 3.77 if I remember correctly. I have about 220 outpatient hours (split between three places), 140 inpatient, 15 hippo, 800+ as a physical therapy tech. What else would you like to know?

Hi there. I don’t think you’ll have any problem getting in to pt school. I applied to 10 schools this cycle. I’ve had 5 offers, 2 waitlisted, 1 rejection, and I’m still waiting on 2 schools. We have around the same gpa. I have a 3.73. Get those hours cause most schools like to see at least two different settings. I did outpatient, inpatient, hippo therapy, and I am a tech as well. And the rest of everything else you’ve said sounds very strong with your work/life experiences. Good luck on your GRE! As far as the schools that you’ve listed above the only one I applied to was Scranton and I still have not heard back from them so I don’t really know your chances of getting into any of those programs specifically plus each cycle is different. But I really don’t think you’ll have a problem with getting into school...just don’t get frustrated cause you could get a few wait lists before you get accepted anywhere or you could just get lucky. Let me know if you have any more questions

 

[Henrique13]

Anyone here got accepted to aic for the class of 2021 DPT?

I applied to Stony, Touro and NYU with similar stats to you and got into all three.
My GRE 148v 155q cGPA: 3.68 sGPA: 3.7
You will probably get interviews for sure, and from there it just depends on how you do on that.

Has anybody been waitlisted or currently accepted from the waitlist. I was put on Tier 2 and am getting worried.
