Undergrad: University of Delaware
Major: Double Major: Sociology and Criminal Justice
Cumulative GPA: 3.38
Pre-Req GPA: For PTCAS I have a 3.35, however if the school takes the better of the two grades I will have a 4.0 🙂
I retook every pre-req this past year and got an A in very class. I am currently taking Physics I w/ lab and I currently have an A in both. Next semester I will take Physics II w/ lab and I am confident I will be able to get A's in them as well.
GRE: V:147, Q:148, W:4.0 (I know these scores are absolutely awful and I will retake them should I not be accepted to any schools)

Extra Curricular: Member of rock climbing club, outing club, Alpha Kappa Delta. Studied abroad in Australia my senior year. Currently volunteering at a horseback riding facility for individuals with special needs. CPR certified. I am also a nontraditional student because I have been out of school and working for over 7 years. I'm hoping "real life experience" will be a plus.

Franklin Pierce is not rolling admissions. They don't look at apps until mid January and decisions come out in February.

Oh ok just wondering. A friend of mine received an email from them asking if she would be willing to re-take the GRE to better her scores. She did so, but unfortunately her scores didn't improve. Since she hasn't heard anything she is convinced she hasn't gotten in.

 

[coach_T]

Anybody heard from ODU?

At one of the information sessions we were told that they were planning on doing a first round of acceptances in December but then the email said January/February, so I'm not sure when to expect to hear back.

 

[nik1216]

Did anyone else get an email from Central Michigan about "Early Admission"? I thought they did interviews but I guess I got in without one. Just want to know if anyone else got a similar email

I did not hear anything from them until I received a large envelope with my acceptance letter and other forms in the mail. They did not email me about my application, either ! When did you apply?

 

[vanessa21]

Thanks! Congrats to you as well! I'm still waiting to hear from Sage before I make a decision. Sage would be the most affordable program for me and I live nearby so it would be an easy transition. If I don't get into Sage then I will be attending NYMC. Thankfully NYMC doesn't have a deadline to submit a deposit so I have time to figure things out. Will you be going there?

I will most likely be attending since it was my number one choice. I have another interview this Thursday but I'm pretty much set on NYMC. I loved the PBL format. I emailed Dr. Majsak and he told me that a decision by the end of the month would be best. But good luck with Sage!

Whoa. I just emailed their director or admissions asking for an application status, haha. I haven't checked my mailbox since Saturday.
I submitted way back on 8/30.

Hi,
I just received an acceptance letter from Lynchburg college, anybody else apply there? Still waiting to hear from my other schools before I accept (UTEP, UT health Science Center in San Antonio, Hardin-Simmons).

Congrats on everyones acceptances!! The struggle is real getting into even one PT program!! 🙂

 

[Tc_DPT]

Not a thing, you?

Full disclosure, I am a PT who is mentoring a friend and my niece through this process. I found this board and am finding it to be a great resource! That said, they both applied there and neither have heard anything yet. I'm a Sacred Heart grad myself, so I am anxiously waiting and hoping they get offered interviews.

Ditto- That was a terrible feeling- and I got the email while I was trying to study for my A&P final. It was for the hardest school I applied to, and Ive been trying to remind myself that I may not get in at all this year. My head knows that logically but my heart isn't really on the same page. I keep reminding myself that I have a great life and if its another year before I go to school it will be just fine!

Have you tried calling the schools to see why you were waitlisted? It seems like you are waitlisted at each school you interviewed at (as opposed to being flat out rejected) so they are interested in you. It might be your GRE scores, your writing section is a bit low. Do you still have Pre-req courses you have to take that can bring up your pre-req average?

[MI48065]

Did anyone else get an email from Central Michigan about "Early Admission"? I thought they did interviews but I guess I got in without one. Just want to know if anyone else got a similar email

I also got the email about the Early Admission and was admitted without an interview! Did you apply to any other Michigan schools? I got in at Wayne State, Central Michigan, Oakland U, and Grand Valley so now I have to start making a decision...
