This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Some encouragement for those of you who may not have the best stats. My GPA wasn't as strong as I would have liked and the Verbal portion of my GRE was below the recommended score. I think what really helped me was the personal statement as well as the individual essays each school required.

University: Florida International University
Major: Nutrition Science
Overall GPA: 3.35
Pre-Req GPA: ~3.7
GRE: Verbal: 146, Quant: 152, Writing: 4.0

Extra-Curric: Water Safety Instructor, Lifeguard

Volunteer: Anatomy Lab Learning Assistant

Observation: 500+ hours as an aide and volunteer

Applied: Florida International University, NOVA Southeastern University (Ft.Lauderdale campus), University of Miami, University of St. Augustine (Miami campus)

Interviews: University of St. Augustine (12/7)

Rejections: University of Miami

Waitlisted: NOVA Southeastern University (Ft.Lauderdale campus) (12/18)

Acceptances: University of St. Augustine (12/19), NOVA Southeastern University (2/25)


Glad to announce that I'll be attending NOVA Southeastern University!

Congrats!!! Which school are you leaning towards?

I'm definitely leaning toward USF. Gannon is $144k for 3 years vs USF at $66k. I can't justify paying twice as much for my education like that, even though the faculty at Gannon seemed more student-centric

They're on the first page of this thread.

As an update, I was also just accepted to Nova Southeastern Tampa but will not be accepting the offer. I hope someone who is still waiting can get some good news out of this!
 
Hello, I wanted to reach out to anyone who is willing to share their experience attending the DPT program at UF. The reputation of the school can be intimidating and I wanted a clearer look into what it looks like to be a part of this program. What is the day in the life of a UF DPT student? Truly what concerns me is the academic aspect---I want to know if I am attending a school that I will succeed in. I'd appreciate anyone reaching out to calm my nerves. Thank you!

Congrats on UCF interview! Have you heard anything from UNF? They were supposed to send out interview selections yesterday... Also, did you receive an invitation to UF's visit day?

Update: Heard from UNF - selected for an interview!

I have applied to alot of these schools this year. I was invited to the UF's visit day and am a little confused by the purpose of it since some of my friends who applied as well were not invited to it. Do you mind filling me in what it is for and if it is any indication if I will be accepted there?
 
Hi! I was wondering if anyone has head about interviews/acceptances? I was accepted to FGCU, but haven't heard anything from UF (my dream school), USF or UNF. I also get in-state to South Alabama, but haven't heard anything from them either. Thanks!

Congrats!! Pertaining to UF, when did you apply and did you send any type of follow up letter of interest since applying? I’m still waiting to hear back. But I sent my app about half an hour before the deadline lol

If you have time, what are your "stats" like?
Thank you!
 
I passed on my spot to Miami, I hope it helps someone out!

I believe that they do go pretty deep on their wait list, and that they fill up seats as late as mid April!
 
I just received an interview invitation for Florida Southern College on March 21st. Has anyone else heard information from them regarding an interview recently or have any information on their interview process?

Congrats! I got accepted into USA for Fall 2020 and I can't figure out how to make an account to submit my deposit. Do you have any advice?

They'll send you an email with all the necessary information. They'll have a link with instructors on how to do your deposit. In other words, you don't create one. It's created for you.

Have you heard anything from FIU, or not yet? And if you did, how long did it take them to get back to you?

I'm accepted at NOVA Fort Lauderdale. Still waiting on decisions from St. Augustine and University of Puget Sound. NOVA's deadline for accepting their offer is Feb 1st. Hard to make a decision when you're wait listed at other schools.

You didn't have to put a deposit down at Nova 2 weeks after you were accepted?
