They say they will email within 48 hours of the date. To that effect, I received a call some time around 7 PM (6 central, I live in VT so different time) from the program director letting me know. The detailed email came I want to say about 24 hours after that. Thank you for the congrats and best of luck to you!!
I submitted my applications about 8/27 and received the email setting the date on 9/22 - so about a 2 month process for me overall.

Thank you! I submitted my app on 9/7, it was verified on 9/8, and I heard from Temple on 10/6. My interview is on 11/10, and I know that there is one more interview session in December so you still have time!
Hi there! Quick question. When did you apply to Murphy Deming?
Hi there! Congratulations on your acceptance to NSU! When did you apply if you don’t mind me asking? I was thinking of applying by the end of this month but don’t know if it’s too late by now. I know last year when I applied it required 3 essays (for their supplemental application) on top of the PTCAS essay. Is it like that this year for their supplemental application? Any feedback would be appreciated!

Does anyone know anything about Drexel's class? I interviewed in the beginning of October and haven't heard anything. Just wanted to know if it was full or if you haven't received an acceptance by now if you won't.
Do you know anything about Drexel? like if the class is full? I interviewed a week later than you and haven't heard anything
I am not sure yet, I am still waiting to hear back from some other schools I interviewed at and have some more interviews lined up in Nov. Then I will decide! How about you?
No, I emailed them after I was accepted and asked how quickly the class fills up. They said they had only sent out a few acceptances so far and usually the class is not totally set until February! Hope you get in!

Yes, I did. I could have applied in Aug., but I was waiting to retake my GRE scores (didn't go well again, ugh) and I live in FL. I applied on October 20th and actually received an email yesterday inviting me for an interview on Nov 10.
If you don't mind, may you provide me some feedback on the interview process? I really would like to go, but I am not sure how high my chances are...- Joined

I would try an limit the preGPA to no more than one C. Physics while not as relevant in the PT field as many of the other classes is sorta of a "weening out" course for schools when they look at applicants, other than that you should be fine. Just research the schools to see if you are around the average GPAs and score well on your GRE.
