Click to expand...

I applied to BU and UVM, and BU begins review on Dec 15, and the info session is in February, so hopefully we will hear soon. UVM notifies applicants in February I think. I did a quick search for Pitt, and the answer is in the FAQs: they make most of their decisions by March 15.

I heard that I got in to Pitt early December, but I declined to attend. They sent me an email about 3 weeks before, telling me that they will have a decision for me soon. Best of luck.

Franklin & Marshall College '10
Biology

PostBacc GPA: 4.0 (5 Classes)

American University '14
Masters in Health Promotion Management
GPA. 3.97 (with two classes left)

Cum GPA- 3.12 (with Grad Classes and PostBacc classes calculated in); 2.87 Undergrad only (with one "update" class not calculated- "A" in Abnormal Psychology in Summer '13)
Prereq GPA self-reported- 3.27
Science GPA: 2.87 (according to PTCAS) - 3.1+ if you do not calculate re-taken classes in.
EDIT: Forgot GRE: 309 total, 5.5AW

Extracurriculars: Two years rush chair for fraternity; Co-Captain of college varsity baseball team, Volunteer Research assistant for orthopedics lab in NYMC, Volunteer strength and conditioning intern

I also worked over 3,300 hours in a prestigious outpatient clinic in CT, got my CSCS in October, 2011, and personal trained on and off full and part-time since then. I also help manage the University Gym as part of my graduate assistantship for my masters degree.

I also have a really strong statement of purpose that I spent almost a month crafting and developing. It speaks to why PT and how my future as a physical therapist can help with the healthcare crisis that we are currently and will most definitely still be experiencing in the future. I tied in my Masters degree and explained why I chose to study that topic and how it is directly applicable to my pursuits of practicing Physical Therapy.

Applied: NYMC, UIC, Sacred Heart University, UMDNJ - Rutgers, Stony Brook University, SUNY Upstate University, LIU, NYU, Columbia University, Touro College- Manhattan and Bayshore Campuses, NYIT
Rejected: UIC, NYIT (after interview), Stony Brook
Interviews: NYIT, NYMC, UMDNJ (Declined), NYU (waiting to hear back anxiously!), Columbia University (upcoming), SUNY Upstate (Upcoming) UPDATE!
Accepted: NYMC, Touro Bayshore
Attending: ...

I am another unique case and wanted to give hope to other non-traditionals in this application process. It CAN be done. I did spend over three years trying to fix my grades from undergrad while also trying to make myself a uniquely competitive applicant with a Masters Degree in a relevant field. I have tremendous passion for PT and can't wait to start my studies next year wherever I do end up.

I applied really late in the cycle (didn't take the GRE until mid-November and my last recommendation didn't come in until December 1st), and still have some prerequisites to finish up in the spring semester. I just figured out that I wanted to go the PT route in July (previously was pursuing nursing), so I got kind of a late start on getting everything done. At the time I was working two jobs (one part-time and one full-time) and going to school, so it was tough to get the ball rolling. Hopefully this will work out okay, but even if it doesn't I have no problem applying again next cycle.

Just wanted to chime in and say that finally, after 2 years, I got accepted at Rutgers-Stratford. I had a very bad start to my undergraduate career but worked my tail off and did very well towards the end as well as the GRE's after 3 tries . Good look everyone.
