Is anyone on this forum attending RMU as part of the May cohort?

 

[WADPT]

UND vs RMU pro's and con's????
RMU has 10weeks more of clinical and over 4000 sites to choose from, UND has a longer history (older program, higher ranking, and traditional campus). What are everyone's thoughts?

 

[wiseOldPT]

over 4000 sites to choose from,

Just be mindful of how number of clinical sites are advertised and what it really means. Schools set up contracts with clinical sites, and usually advertise the number of contracts they have as possible affiliations. But then each site gets to choose how many spots (if any) they have to offer each round for students. This can mean programs with 1000+ affiliations are still scrambling to find enough openings for their students for any given clinical. Also, schools vary in how much choice students actually have. Just be mindful that the number of sites doesn't mean you will necessarily be able to go to anywhere you'd like! Otherwise overall, what is the cost difference? Cheaper is most likely the better option!

I got top tier waitlisted at Emory & Henry. It doesn’t seem like anyone has been pulled off yet.

Late to post, but here's mine:

Early Decision: N/A

Interview granted: Western U, Regis, West Coast (declined), Rocky Mountain (declined)

[AS00]

Early Decision: No
Regular Decision: CSUN, CSULB, Chapman Univ(both summer & fall), West Coast Univ, WesternU, MidwesternU - Glendale

Accepted: MidwesternU - Glendale (2/6)
Interview granted: MidwesternU-Glendale(1/24), WesternU (2/4)
Waitlisted: MidwesternU - Glendale (1/30)
Denied: CSUN, CSULB,

Attending: MidwesternU-Glendale, although still waiting for CA schools.

———————————
STATS
GPAc : 3.23
GPAp : 2.93
GRE: 152v/156q/4.0

Hours: 4+ years in Sports medicine (ATC “aide”)
3.5 years in out-patient PT (aide)
100ish hours in in-patient PT (SNF)

Tips: Interviews are your best selling point! Especially if you don’t have the best grades (ahem me!!!!) I also recommend looking for schools that fit your profile. After a couple rounds of applications it got exhausting trying to compare with the 4.0++ student with 160 GRE scores. Some schools are looking for character rather than grades, Midwestern and Western are those types. Chapman is the opposite, they don’t require essay nor do interviews, all they look at is grades (but for me, worth a shot since campus is a short bike ride from my house! )

Good luck to all who are still waiting!
And for those who didn’t get in this year, DON’T GIVE UP, dig deep and find your passion. I think it really took me getting rejected a couple times to really figure out why I wanted to be a PT! I hope it does the same for you.

Does anyone know anything about Duke's waitlist process or has anyone heard back yet?

 

[DptDptDpt]

Do you think that everything going on with the coronavirus it will postpone program start dates?

 

[karlydpt]

Do you think that everything going on with the coronavirus it will postpone program start dates?

This is something I’m concerned with.... I was accepted to a school and need to claim my seat by March 23rd.. but I’m waiting on my first choice school to get back to me with a decision. I don’t know if the shutdowns will affect the timing of the decision I’m waiting for. This is super stressful lol. I don’t want to claim my seat yet, but the program I was accepted to starts in May. The program I’m waiting on starts in Fall. So there’s a lot that’s up in the air right now. I’ll keep you guys updated if I hear anything.

Doubt it will change start dates but I have absolutely gotten auto reply emails saying admissions teams are out of office until late April. This means waitlist processing is for sure delayed.

 

[rinarina22]

I was thinking the same thing... I’m waitlisted at a program that starts in June so I am concerned that the waitlist process and/or the start of the program will be affected

 

[Parthi_2]

Hi All, I applied to Franklin Pierce University - I received an email asking me if I would be retaking some courses and if I was they could review my application again, has anyone dealt with anything like this or applied to FPU and accepted and/or denied? Thanks!
