Any international students that studied in the US for their Bachelors get accepted to PT school? If so, what were your stats and what schools did you apply to?

As an international student, your stats have to be bit higher (or much higher if you are aiming public schools) to get accepted. Obviously, some private schools offer more seats to foreigners but they definately look at your oGPA, sGPA, GRE score, and the interview skill (Eng proficiency, etc..)
Check on the APTA websites and there's the list of average stats of students accepted to all the accredited PT programs in the US, of which public schools most likely have around 1% of acceptance rate for the international student (doesn't mean that you are guranteed an acceptance even if you are the only international student who apply to their program.)
I applied to about 6 schools(3 public and 3 private) in NY and one in Florida (UF).
PM if you have any questions.
Good luck!!
