Graduation Rate

[DPTApplicant4]

Hey Everyone!

The school I am considering attending has a three year graduation rate of approximately 89%. You cannot have more than 8 credits of a B- or lower. Are these pretty strict standards and is that graduation rate something to be worried about? Thanks!

That seems pretty normal to me. My program you couldn’t have less than a 3.0 every term.

That's a normal rate. There always will be people who will drop out or fall behind for a variety of reasons (cannot keep up with the program, change their mind about their career choice, family emergency, pregnancies... you name it).
My school required 3.0 GPA average throughout the program.

Do you mean that you had to get a 3.0 or higher each semester of the program, or just keep a 3.0 cumulative GPA or higher throughout the entire program?

Apologies, ya you had to have a 3.0 or higher cumulative GPA, but you couldn’t get below a B- in any class every term.
