I feel your pain and anxiety too! Im 30, a non-traditional student and am just waiting nervously to hear back from schools. Its hard b/c at this stage of our lives we have taken a step back from one job or another to pursue this passion of PT that has no guarantees.
My undergrad in business admin (2006) was pretty bad, but at that point in my life i lacked a lot of direction.
My stats are:
pre-req gpa: 3.94
cumulative gpa: 2.75 ( this is the crux)
cumulative last 60 gpa: 3.1
gre
-verbal: 155
- quantitative: 156
I worked for 14 months as a PT aide and prior to that i was a social worker at a group home for over 3 years. I returned to school in 2012 for 2 years to knock out pre reqs and every class I have taken since 2006 I have received an A in. If the bigger picture is observed then I am optimistic that a school will accept me. That cumulative GPA will be the kicker though.
There is a lot of uncertainty going into this, but if we can just stay positive, learn from the experiences and feep pushing forward then things will unfold as they should.
Best of luck!

lol yeah, oops. I wasn't sure with my low cumulative.
I guess you've done so much freakin' college since then it didn't matter ha
Firstly, Congrats on Stony Brook and Columbia. How did you hear from Stony? Did Rick call you?
Congratulations!!!
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?
Thank you! CSULB has a good program and if I didn't get Chapman I would have applied there. For me, the atmosphere and conversations with former and current students made me lean towards Chapman. Definitely check out whichever schools you are interested in and talk to the students about their experiences.

I'm not sure if my stats are on par with other applicants, so i've been combing this forum looking for answers. I'm applying to SDSU only because it will save me the most money in the long run, so i'm kind of taking a chance on a school that has not been accredited yet. If anyone has any thoughts/advice about my chances of getting in (or even if you know when the letters of acceptance/rejection are sent out) it would be greatly appreciated! And good luck to all those that are applying 🙂

So where are you thinking you will go? $150k for the USC program sounds a little too frightening to me...
So where are you thinking you will go? $150k for the USC program sounds a little too frightening to me...
No clue as of right now. I want to attend all interviews and weigh options based on cost of tuition/housing, my experiences and my happiness with whatever city I end up living in! Honestly any debt is frightening to me but go big or go home right? Just kidding. I don't want to go to a school simply because I'll have less debt. Taking everything into consideration.
Also, I wasn't going to share my idea but I plan to get invited to the Ellen show where she will award me with a generous check to apply to tuition so... that means I won't have to worry about it 😉 If anyone steals my idea... you're toast

Finally got the acceptance to end all waiting and now I'm confident to post. Haha!
University: Ateneo de Manila University
Major: Management (Minor in French Studies)
Undergrad GPA: 2.96
Pre-req GPA: 4.00
GRE: 153V 159Q 4.0W
I applied to more schools than I actually needed (21 all in all 😵) for the reason that my undergrad GPA is low and the statistics of DPT programs with international students weren't that high.
Interviews: NYIT (10/24), Stony Brook (11/21), NYU (12/6), MCPHS (declined), Sacred Heart (declined), Wheeling Jesuit (scheduled for phone interview but will decline)
Waitlisted: Washington University in St. Louis
Rejections: UTMB (11/24), UTSW (11/30), Drexel (12/16)
Acceptances: Southwest Baptist (9/24), NYIT (10/27 deposit sent), Touro-Manhattan (10/27), TWU-Houston (12/12), NYU (12/16)
I am beyond overwhelmed at this point, but it's a decision between TWU and NYU. Any words of advice as to which school to go to is highly appreciated!🙂

There is a thread going right now in pre-PT talking about TWU versus another school (not NYU). Might still be helpful. And I'm sure there have been numerous threads on both schools in the past if you search. 🙂 Good luck!

Also, UNLV confirmed that my application was complete. I dunno if I would be a good fit in Vegas though, I might spend all my free time at the casinos playing poker hahaha

Also, apparently the admissions director at Western sent me an email 3 times regarding an interview, and I didn't respond so they sent me an email asking why I withdrew from my application. For some reason I never received the 3 emails from the director (even after checking my spam). So, the only reason I found out about it was through the email asking about my withdrawal. Hopefully this won't affect my chances of getting in as they are rolling admissions (I believe?), and I could have had an earlier interview date.

What the heck, >95 people on a waitlist...that school would have to have a matriculation rate of like 5% for the waitlist to actually need to be that long...
