I got the interview to the only school I applied for, lol.

For the Fall, Spring or Summer?

 

[TheDancingWriter]

For the Fall, Spring or Summer?

Fall. I'm surprised, actually. I didn't think I was going to hear back for a few more weeks. It hasn't even been two weeks since my application got sent to admissions.

 

[KPttobe]

Things have started to move and shake, so just wanted to post my stuff 🙂 This is all getting so real and close! It's scary and exciting all at once!

Early Decision: No
Regular Decision: University of Pittsburgh, Chatham, George Washington University, Marymount, Virginia Commonwealth University, MGH IHP, Ohio State University, Ohio University

#1 choice: TBD -- money is a factor, and I would love to stay in the DMV area, all things considered.

Accepted: University of Pittsburgh (11/12)
Interview granted: Chatham (interviewed 11/2), GWU (11/15), Marymount (11/23), Ohio University (11/22), MGH IHP (12/7)

[prospective_dpt]

Early Decision: No
Regular Decision: UCSF/SFSU, SDSU, Samuel Merritt, USA in San Marcos, West Coast, UOP, Western U, Chapman, Touro Nevada, A.T. Still

#1 choice: UCSF/SFSU

Accepted: TBD
Interview granted: A.T. Still 10/30, USA in San Marcos 1/14
Waitlisted: A.T. Still (cohort was filled, conditional acceptance)
Denied: TBD

Attending: TBD

Strongest point of my application is many diverse observational experiences 1000+ hours in inpatient acute hospital/SNF and outpatient geriatric ALF/ILF / neuro / orthopedic. I'm a tech at a SNF and float to an outpatient geriatric clinic. GRE is 157V/158Q/5.0

Weakest point is that cGPA, and pGPA are average with increased trend in last 60 units.

After lurking for a while I'm finally posting on SDN. Really hoping to have the wonderful opportunity to attend a DPT program in about a year from now. Still playing the waiting game at the moment. Good luck to everyone. 🙂

I applied in August and havent heard anything from them besides that they would schedule a phone call with an advisor closer to December. When did you have your phone call with an advisor?

So after being verified, I received an email I think two days later with a link to schedule it. And then I scheduled the phone call for a week later. I'm at the Florida campus, and it has been running really smooth for me compared to what I've heard about the other campuses.
