How many schools?

I've finished my prereqs and I was wondering in general how many schools people apply to? I'm just trying to gauge if I should be applying to more or less schools for DPT. You always hear 10-20 plus for MD applications, so I'm wondering what the usual number is for DPT programs. Thanks

Depends on your GRE/GPA. Share yours.

Plus I would suggest you read some of the posts...

ever hear the saying "think before you speak." for the sake of SDN, read before you write. this has been answered about 6.23x10^23 times.

I think the number is more like 6.023x10^23.

It could be worse. You could be Paris Hilton. One thing I always learned. You may feel dumb but there is always someone more dumber than you~lol

Wow...tough crowd. Generally, the lower your GPA/GRE the broader you should apply. Apart from that, it's hard to give you much advice on numbers. My first go round, I applied to one school and got waitlisted. The second, I applied to four and got accepted at all four...go figure.

Time consuming, other than that fine. Being a new student, I feel that I usually don't have much to add to the conversation so I just read the threads.
