Hi,
I am a DPT student who is currently in my 2nd semester of PT school (my program has a total of 8 semesters including 3 semesters of clinicals and 6 weeks of clinicals in our 4th semester). I haven’t done anything official (haven’t spoke to GFU recruiters) but I am considering to transfer to George Fox University’s (GFU) DPT program, which is in my home state. I still want to be a PT but I feel like I’m not in the best environment where I can focus on school and my goals, and my classmates are giving me a difficult time and taking the joy out of PT from me. I was considering to transfer to stay close to home and find myself feeling happier in a fostering and supportive environment. During the PT application process, I had an interview with GFU and received an acceptance, but declined bc I picked my current program. In my current program, we already made plans for our clinical rotations but we haven’t had anything officially settled. I am wondering if transfering is possible, what the transfer process is like if they do accept transfer students, and how much I need to make up once I have transferred to GFU. I also don’t know if GFU DPT takes transfer students. Logistically it will be hard due to my apartment lease, finding a job (employers will ask why I had to transfer) and other things like transfer credits.
Please let me know about your thoughts or questions!
Thank you!
