Unless you have a terrible interview, I don't see how you wouldn't get in. Your stats are fantastic. Good luck!

Oh okay, that's good to hear. Thank you! I also know this is probably going to be a dumb question, but what is considered a bad interview?

If you come off as awkward, don't answer the questions completely, don't communicate clearly with the interviewer, etc. The best advice I can give you is to relax and be yourself! The best interviews are the ones that feel like a conversation. They just want to see that you can communicate clearly and that you have a passion for the field.

Your stats are more than fine, I'll be suprised if you don't get into most of them. Just write a great essay and rock your interviews and you should be right as rain.

Okay, thank you! I do get some anxiety in situations like these, so I hope it doesn't show through. Thank you for that advice!

You look like you have great stats! Remember UF doesnt interview either if you are worried about that. Neither does USF.

Thank you! I am slightly worried about the interview, and I was aware UF didn't interview but I didn't know USF didn't interview either! I should've known that since I go to USF, haha. But thanks for the info! That makes me feel a little better.

And you should definitely apply to UF. You have great stats.

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!!
