I have applied to a few and have gotten interviews at all of them. From what I've heard and from the research I've done, once the school gets in the candidacy phase, it's very hard for them to not get accredited. They just have to graduate a class and then basically they're accredited if all goes well. I also have heard that almost every school that is in this phase has gotten accredited and very very few schools haven't. So it's a little risky, but the chances are that the school will get accredited. At the same time, I think it's just better to go to a well established institution that is already accredited

ptgirl what school are you talking about?
I applied to one that states it has been accredited what does that mean
I applied to Wingate University when they still had candidate status. They recently got accredited at the end of November. I think it normally takes 3 years (so about how long it takes for their first class to get through) for schools to become accredited once they have candidate status. @unkownperson here is some info about accreditation http://aptaapps.apta.org/accreditedschoolsdirectory/default.aspx?UniqueKey=
I applied and had an interview at Campbell University in NC. They said they would hear about their status before I would even begin in January and they got accredited a week or so ago and they are about to graduate their first class this weekend!
@Ptgirl8 have you heard anything from High Point?
No I have not but I just finished my application this past week.
