International students in your program?

In your program, roughly how many places are allocated to international students (if any) in each intake? Seems to me it is really really difficult for international students to get accepted.
I'm from Singapore and seriously considering to apply for a DPT program abroad. Any help appreciated! 🙂

You can check the following link and see how many international students each program accepted last year:

For instance, at http://www.ptcas.org/MGH.html you can see that MGH IHP apparently accepted 1 with class size = 50.
I'm considered an international student even though I've been in this country for the last 8 years, and I was accepted to 6 out of 7 programs I'd applied to this year, so it's definitely not impossible to be accepted as an international student. Just make sure you satisfy all the requirements and try to do something extra so you can stand out.
Also, before you make a decision to apply to US schools make sure you understand what it would mean financially... (you won't be eligible for any financial aid and all the money will have to come from your own sources if you have any or from private banks).
