haha na I submitted everything. This is what the e-mail said...

Thank you for your application to Lynchburg College’s Doctor of Physical Therapy program. A significant number of qualified individuals have applied for admission to our DPT program this year making our admission decisions very difficult. We have carefully reviewed your application and at this time we are unable to come to a final decision. Your application will remain under consideration for acceptance until a final decision can be reached.

So I guess they will let me know sometime in the future...its like I'm in limbo or something...I don't get why they needed to send me this e-mail, they could have just sent me one in the future once they reached their final decision

That just sounds like some BS way of saying you are being waitlisted...I wonder if other people got officially "waitlisted"...

How did UTMB reject you?? They are picky this year. You have an awesome GPA so you'll be fine. Don't be nervous! 😀
 
Did anyone apply/interview at Texas State? I wasn't nervous at all, none whatsoever. My interview went very well. I was rejected from Texas State, but I didn't mind because I received my UTMB acceptance a few days earlier. Anyway, I thought I was a shoe in at their program. Strange...

Congratulations!!! :highfive:
Just wondering, why didn't you apply to CSULB's PT program? I was thinking about applying ED there in 2 years or so. What is it like over there at the Beach?
