Members don't see this ad.

When did you interview at South College and when did you hear back? They originally said 30 days and I interviewed 11/2. I followed up after 30 days and they said their admissions process was going slower than expected.

I did my online interview on 10/24 and heard back on 11/21. I was surprised it took nearly all 30 days due to the fact that they were in contact with me immediately after I sent in my application and it was verified. I declined my offer because I have only heard and read negative feedback about the program.

I declined my offer because I have only heard and read negative feedback about the program.

I had the same experience. They requested an interview within one hour of me submitting my supplemental app, but it's taking forever for a decision! I think it's because their faculty are not on-site all the time, plus they were doing their on-site labs recently. But still...they said 30 days and I need to start making some decisions! Congrats on your acceptances! I've heard a lot of mixed things about the program but a lot of people rave about it, too, so it will be a tough decision for me.

Thanks so much! And yeah I agree with what you are saying. I feel if they gave you a timeline, they should give you a decision within that time frame. Ultimately, it is unfair to you because as more and more decisions come out it is only going to be more difficult to choose! The thought of two years of schooling and only being on site 90 days is appealing but then again, physical therapy is a hands on field so I find it hard to truly grasp the art of the field with only 90 days in class. Good luck to you as you make your decisions!!! I’m sure South College would be lucky to have you.

Email, I haven't received the formal mailed letter they talked about yet. They added a decision letter to the application and I received an automated email from that (and then a follow up from a person).
