Yea I have not gotten anything yet. Do you mind saying what your stats are ? I don’t even know if they received my supplemental payment or not.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by stats, but I just did the interview today and they said to expect to hear back either at the end of next week, or mid March. In terms of stats, I don't exactly know how Mercy calculated my GPA but apparently it's in the mid 3's, and my GRE scores are Verbal 150, Quantitative 149. My application status in PTCAS is "verified."
Also, I want to ask you: what is the supplemental payment you're talking about?

your stats was the gre and gpa. I was told my student advisor to send my supplement application payment before the end of the month, it’s also listed on PTCAS. Last question when did you complete the application ?

Hey thank you for the response. My interview had similar questions! But now we let the waiting games begin.
 
Hey guys, was there some supplemental fee that was supposed to be sent in?
 
I can’t believe I missed that... I haven’t seen any info about the supplement fee website but I found it on PTCAS. Did anyone else not pay the fee yet? I really hope I can still pay it since I did the interview and all...

Same, I’m trying to send it now. Does anyone know if it’s supposed to be by mail or is there a way to pay it online?
Also if by check, what do we pay to the order of?

The supplemental fee should be sent to:

According to the website this is what it had said “Submit a nonrefundable $40 application fee. (There is a $62 application fee for the following majors: Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy)”

I have not. Have you? I wonder if they will let everyone know all at once..

Nothing yet. Decisions might be slowed due to the coronavirus. What I have read from previous threads that they usually let everyone know by last week of March and continue to send out decisions until April 30th.
 
I got my acceptance letter today and was interviewed about a month ago . Best of luck everyone ! It’s a very stressful process but stay positive !
 
Thank you

Me too...it's my 3rd time applying/interviewing there too...I thought being a PTA would increase my chances but I think they only look at the numbers (gpa/gre) at the end of the day unfortunately
