How did FIU notify you of your interview? I haven't heard anything yet!

FIU sent me an email today for something called "early interview period". Basically you can pick an interview date before Dec. and be accepted before the "regular" pool in January, or you will just be deferred to the regular pool if you don't get an early acceptance.
 
@dptmechanic: May I ask when did you apply for Creighton??
 
No problem uh let's see 8/27 PTCAS sent, due to GRE mishap (used last years code) Creighton finalized last week, email today 10/8 for interview.

Well now I'm stressed out! I applied super early and was sure I could expect an interview soon. Good luck though that's awesome! I visited FIU earlier this year and it was a really nice school.

I submitted my supplemental a week or 2 after my PTCAS was verified, which was the end of August... so around Sept 7th. I got my acceptance today, I called the number I received in my email for "application status updates" and they transferred me to Monica. Monica formally gave me my acceptance and told me I will received emailed docs shortly. Hope that helps!
 
Right on! Mine was submitted on 9/27, so hopefully I will hear in a few weeks. Very exciting times. I'm meeting Monica to tour the campus on Friday, since I'm flying down from Cali to see family in the area. What makes you want Nova more than the program at UM?

Umm nothing particular I know a few people in the UM program and a few in the Nova program. Both are very well prepared. Obviously, UM is much higher rated but Nova has a 100% NPTE pass rate this last year as well. I also know some of the faculty at Nova which I observed under. But mainly I grew up in SoFla and live here now. I live 10 minutes from Nova and would have to move to Miami because the drive from Broward is pretty impractical with long days of class, labs and clinical. Its much cheaper to live where I do now and only pay tuition.

When did you hear from Rockhurst about the interview? I applied there also and my stats are very similar to yours but I have yet to hear from them.
 
First Post. First Time Applicant. Here goes nothing:

University: Florida Atlantic University
Major: Exercise Science & Health Promotion
Cum PTCAS GPA: 3.52
PTCAS Prerequisite GPA: 3.41
GRE: 147 V, 144 Q, 5.0 AW
Observation: Will have 35 hours inpatient, >800 hours outpatient Orhto & Geriatrics (PT tech), 100 hours outpatient at a sports medicine clinic as well

Extra Curricular: 400 hour internship in a Germany at a Sports Nutrition facility doing research and marketing, 2 years on the FAU Soccer club, Exercise Science Club Member for 1 year.

My GRE is low and I have taken it twice (old and new) and my last score is much improved since taking the old one 2 years ago (Imagine that). Chalk it down to me being a miserable standardized test taker.

Got my PTCAS GPA's today so the schools should receive my applications within the next week. Schools I applied to:
PTCAS: Loma Linda, Nova, University of Vermont, Florida International, Simmons College (may apply to Chatham as well)
Non-PTCAS: University of Central Florida, St. Augustine

I am EXTREMELY Nervous. Anyone with similar stats and or words of encouragement please feel free to reply!

My freshman year (and first semester junior year) GPA is killing me, but I'm hoping (as most in this situation), the admissions boards will look at my more current grades. I'm finishing up chem 1 and physics 1 this fall, with chem 2 and physics 2 in the spring.

People have some real good GPAs (congrats) from browsing this, so hopefully they can look at the collective app. Any wise words of wisdom, or encouragement?

Good luck to all.

Yea no problem. Around Oct 14. They told me at the time it was really early though and I was apparently only the second person to be notified of an acceptance. I don't know how true that is, but I do know they told me they will fill 50 spots for the class. Good luck!

I'm glad its just a waiting game now, this was a frustrating process. I had a poor first 2 years in undergrad, and have spent an additional 2 years after graduating taking pre-reqs and retaking courses to atone for my GPA from my first 4 semesters. My post bac GPA is a 4.0 for 24 credits, and my Last 60 GPA is something like a 3.8. I've noticed that I am much less competitive for many of the schools that just take my PTCAS pre-req GPA than for the schools that calculate their own pre-req GPA. I called a few schools that do their own calculations for this and my pre-req is usually between a 3.4-3.7, which I hope will give me a shot. I took my time on each of the essays, and will be doing some more inpatient observation hours to get more variety in there. I'm also debating whether to add 2 developing programs (Wingate, George Fox) to the list to boost my chances. I'll update as I hear back. Any feedback or speculation on my stats is welcome.

I applied to Touro Manhattan early decision and was bumped to regular admission. Was accepted a week later! The way I see it is that the school knows you are already interested in going only there so if you meet all the requirements I'm sure you will get in especially since you applied so early when there was many spots open.
