How were you able to get interviews/acceptances with such low overall GPA. and GRE? I thought almost all schools require the minimum requirements to even be considered. I am asking because I am kind of on the same boat.
UPDATE: Accepted to Concordia University Wisconsin!! I was first on the waitlist. It's so surreal.
Did you have a phone interview with Nova?
Hi, Congrats on your acceptance. I have similar GPA but repeating my pre-reqs so it will be around 3.5. How did you get through without having 3.0 min cumulative GPA, cause I am getting rejected from schools that claimed not looking at Cgpa.University: Wright State - Lake Campus

Thank you, congrats to you too!! My top 3 are UNF, UCF and Nova. I'm just in a bit of a pickle because I feel like I won't hear back from most other schools by the time Nova wants us to decide by. What are your top 3?Congrats! I was accepted there as well! My only acceptance so far, but I, too, am waiting to hear from UNF, FGCU, and UF. What are your top 3 choices?
Waitlisted: Belmont (11/28 - they only had 6 spots left b/c they filled the other 42 spots w/ ED)
Thank you!
I submitted PTCAS Sept. 11th, and supplemental on Oct. 4th, then got their decision Nov. 22nd. So depending on which you're referring to, it was a little longer than 4 weeks. They have rolling admissions, so depending on when you submitted, I'd imagine you should be hearing from them rather soon. Hope this helps! Best of luck!

My academic career should give some people motivation. Look at my GPA - it's horrible! But I took the time to retake many Pre-reqs to raise pre-req GPA, Aced my last 60 credit hours, and knocked the GRE out of the park. I believe my clinical experience (PT tech job) also aided in this. Never give up!
