Newlyexcited: how in the world are you rejected by UCSF?
ShannonG: how in the world are you waitlisted for Northwestern?

Both of you guys have amazing numbers, especially the GREs. Seeing that people with less than 1200 and sometimes even 1100 on GRES but have higher GPA - like 3.8 - getting into these schools really makes me mad. Not because they don't deserve it, but just seems you guys deserve it more.
Different schools have different competitiveness (hence GPA differences). GREs is standard for a reason....

I am very discouraged by how much GPA is weighted...and how little GREs and even more, letter of rec and experience end up mattering when applying to (good) PT schools...

Anyways, congrats to both of you for getting into (other) good schools - as well as others on this blog getting acceptances 🙂

Well, the GRE, for many schools, is not a very heavily weighted part of the application. Sure, most of them look at the GRE scores, and factor that into the admissions decision, but in the end, GPA will matter slightly more. This is mostly because the GRE doesn't exactly measure your readiness for PT school. However, PT schools do like to see good numbers on the GRE, especially the AW and V sections. Take for example TWU, they don't really take the GRE score as a large part of the admissions decision. They only accepted by AW part (I saw from the applicant's website they have for each applicant).

And it's not necessarily the number of hours of experience you have, but the quality of the experience, as based on your LORs. If you have a bunch of experience, but the LORs aren't that spectacular, well, yeah...

I'm not saying that these guys had poor anything, I'm just saying. PT schools are all crazy. You don't know what one wants.

How do they deserve it more? They have a slightly lower GPA and a higher GRE, some people (myself included) have a higher GPA and a slightly lower GRE. It evens out.

IMO, the GRE does not measure anything other than how well you take standardized tests. This whole No child left behind bullcrap that started in elementary and is going up through the ranks is just that, bullcrap. You can NOT judge a person's ability of success by ONE score on a test. (Not by state exams, SAT, GRE, etc, etc).

I would hope that GPA would weigh more heavily than the GRE. GPA proves what you do in actual classes that take more than 3 hours to complete. In my opinion your GPA gives way more insight on how good of a student you are as opposed to the GRE.

Plus, the LOR, and observation hours help. I only had maybe a couple hours over the required 100 and I got accepted to Pitt, and they are ranked #2. My GRE was just barely over 1000 (1090 was my highest with 5.0AW being my highest) Clearly they took into account my GPA of 3.89 and my LOR and felt I made a good candidate. And I deserve a spot at that school/any school I applied to/got accepted to just as much as anyone else who works hard.

So if a person is a good "test taker" and he/she gets an "A" in a class but doesn't understand the material better than a person who got a "B" in a class but grasp the material more than the one that got an "A", how can you tell what type of student this is by just looking at the GPA? Then can you infer that the A student is better equipped than the B student? Pretty much comes down to the person as a whole. We've all seen lower stats get accepted over higher stats. We just don't know the answer sometimes.

[Newlyexcited]

Thanks siracha - I think I have to agree with goyo1010 that all schools are crazy, or at the very least, have their own unique and somewhat opaque reasons for selecting candidates for interviews and admission.

I was really hoping to get into UCSF, as it is local to where I already own a house and I'd worked hard to take specific courses that were highly recommended there. I think my letters of rec. were extremely strong as well, so perhaps it was either my somewhat narrow volunteer experience, or the fact that I'm currently finishing up one final pre-req (a second semester of Physics) that I wasn't able to complete before all of the interview decisions.

Who can say, though? I'm really just glad that I got two interviews, at pretty good schools 🙂

Newlyexcited: how in the world are you rejected by UCSF?
ShannonG: how in the world are you waitlisted for Northwestern?

Both of you guys have amazing numbers, especially the GREs. Seeing that people with less than 1200 and sometimes even 1100 on GRES but have higher GPA - like 3.8 - getting into these schools really makes me mad. Not because they don't deserve it, but just seems you guys deserve it more.
Different schools have different competitiveness (hence GPA differences). GREs is standard for a reason....

I am very discouraged by how much GPA is weighted...and how little GREs and even more, letter of rec and experience end up mattering when applying to (good) PT schools...

Anyways, congrats to both of you for getting into (other) good schools - as well as others on this blog getting acceptances 🙂

[One More Rep]

Congrats! Do you have your mind set on a particular program?

I want to stay in Atlanta if possible, which is why I declined all of the out of state interviews once I received an acceptance to Mercer. I am leaning towards Mercer, but GSU is an option as well (assuming I get in). Cost is a major factor. How does everyone make this decision?? I am having a hard time with it!

[noobblogposter]

hahahahahah, nice one PT2014. I still can't believe people apply to USC... and are happy when they get accepted. It's like you give your soul to USC financially if you choose to go there.

Very true but it is a program that looks at the person as a whole...not just stats...which allows for students who may not be as confident to apply: they accept students for three different sessions. And when it comes down to it any school that accepts you is awesome! Haha.

Congrats!

 

[DPT8387]

I find this comment very rude and insensitive. We all know how exhausting it is to get into PT school, and if someone wants to go to USC and is accepted, they have every right to be happy. It may be too expensive for some, but to each their own.

Congrats Cyndee and I hope you enjoy the program!

 

[Cyndee]

Thanks for the support!

I know it's a lot of money and I'm not sure if I can manage to pay for it but it's still considered a top program and I'm just happy to get in! And I got a personal email from the director of admissions! So awesome!

Sooo...if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all please!

[PT2014]

It's a reality of going to grad school. It's not insensitive, it's real. It's easy to want to go to a, so called, #1 PT school, but let's be real, you're not paying off that debt anytime soon.

Think about this rule of thumb:
Your total grad school tuition should not be too much higher than your future profession's annual salary.

 

[siracha]

Let people decide their future for themselves...don't insult them!

There's more to just "tutition vs. annual salary." The school's philosophy, connections, practice style, vigor is what make a great school great. I work at 2 different PT clinics...one owned by a USC alum and one by a state school. There is a HUGE HUGE difference, and why I would invest in a program like USC (if i get in).

Ur looking at a teaching that sticks w/ u for a life time...

[hefe]

FLsurfer and PT2014 hit the nail on the head. That's the same price as an lower tier in-state MD school, just for PT school even though their potential income once completing residency is at least 2x. Also, COL in LA area that's decent is probably 30% than where other top 50 schools on average other than NYC.

The only recent USC grad I've met and alum from my uni, loved her time there. But now lives back at home subsized food/rent for the next few years at 26 while slogging through loans. However, she seems very happy with her job at a sport med clinic affiliated with a large state univ medical system. So I'm not to judge much either way.

My point is you'll probably have to make sacrifices somewhere when you get out in areas of life that may hinder what the average mid 20's person usually chooses. If its your only acceptance it may just be better to go, though if you applied differently you probably would have plenty of options for a cheaper school.

If you're independently wealthy and have little to no ugrad debt it doesn't sound too bad though. 😀

 

[TheOx777]

I have and will continue to be diplomatic in my approach on this forum. I have read some things that are "disappointing"! No two paths will be exactly the same to PT school(or any other path in life for that matter), so assigning your over-arching "cookbook" for how a person should do something is extremely naive. Offer sound advice without spewing venom. All of the tough guy and bad girl routines NEED TO STOP!!!

That is all!

 

[FLsurferDPT]

[TheOx777]

I'm sorry you guys feel my comment was rude but I hope it opens someone's eyes about the atrocities of paying that much money for PT school when there are programs that are 1/5 that price. I think it's actual foolish for someone to pay that much money for their education and very greedy on USC's part to charge that much. The world is run by greed apparently and people foolish enough to give all their money (which they don't have btw since it's loans) away.

Think of this, you could feed a whole country probably for a year with a 130K but instead will give it to USC professors. All those starving people and children in the world...

And i'm done, I will never talk about USC again but that is my final thoughts.

That's not the point I was trying to make. I simply wanted to get the point across that you(or I) can disagree with someone's decisions without all of the "other stuff." I agree, without equivocation, that one should be fiscally responsible. This is why I am ended up withdrawing my apps from places like Duke, NYU, and Columbia. In fact, I really haven't seen many private institution whose base tuition/fees weren't 95-100K+. If that is a person's one and only option, then they may just have to bite the bullet. We(meaning people on the forums) don't know their story!

That said please continue to be opinionated, because it is fundamental to this forum. All of us just have to be conscientious in our approach. Let's get back to DPT stuff now!

I don't usually do this....but stop it guys. This particular thread is about GPA's, GRE's, XTRA's, ACCEPTANCES!! Not for people to spew their own opinions about other schools (again..talking about THIS thread, not the forum in general) and WHY people choose to/choose to not attend certain schools. Focus on the topic of this thread, and if you really want to be that ridiculous, start a separate thread about "Why you shouldn't attend _____ school" and go at it. Otherwise, let's return to the original intention of this thread please.

It may be way too early to ask this question, but I can't find the info on UCSF's website. When do they send out letters of acceptance? I was granted an interview and I am very excited about the school. Any first year dpt students out there who remember the time frame? Best of luck to everyone.
