If I submit my PT application now, am I too late? Life got in the way and I was not able to finish/submit earlier like I had intended. I know I have missed some school's deadlines, but some of the other schools I am interested in have deadlines from November-February without rolling admissions. Should I finish and submit the application now, or wait until the next cycle?

Unfortunately you can’t apply to programs with the October deadline.But you can still apply to all the other programs on your list. It’s honestly up to you. If your dream school was one of the schools with the October deadline then I would wait. If you don’t have a preference on a school then I would still apply.

Thank you! My dream school did have an October deadline. My number two school has a February deadline. I'm hesitant to apply without a couple of the schools that had October deadlines because they were my "fall back" schools. I feel like I would have an okay chance to the other schools. My GPA is decent, I have almost 200+ hours of observation/internship, I am a certified personal trainer, currently a junior high science teacher, coach a high school weights class, and coach basketball. My GRE is not the best though and waiting another year would allow me to retake it a couple times.

I would just wait then. It is never great to rush the process. Plus you just waste money if you don’t have enough time to show them your full capability. My suggestion is look at the supplemental essays the programs require and I would start working on them over time so that way you have everything done by next cycle. The main essay from PTCAS will change next year so I wouldn’t work on that.
