NAU

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Nothing yet... Do you know if they notify you either way? Or just if you have an interview?
 
Though should notify you either way, right? I bet they will send out interview and denials at the same time...hopefully
 
Just spoke to the PT department and the lead (Rachel) said that the process is currently ongoing and that, at latest, expect a response by Tuesday.

"We recieved 1400 applications so please have patience" (c) Rachel

Has anyone heard from NAU yet? Judging by threads from the past two years we might hear today or tomorrow!

75 selections out of 1400 applicants....prospects are looking good...
 
KNJ - haha, I see your point but remember, that 1400 is simply the number of total applicants. After weeding out unsatisfactory applications and then those who are deemed interviewable...it's more like 75/250.
 
I know last year, my Univ had just over 175 people that did not meet all of our minimums (not qualified) out of 1250 applicants. So I think all Univs lose a bit, but less than 20% for sure. This year our pool is about the same. We have not finished yet, but it may be a little less this year. This year seems like a competitive pool.
 
Ya for NAU 1400 total applicants will end up being like 1200 qualified applicants. I don't know how many interviews they do, but it can't be more than a couple hundred....

At least they prefer in-state students 🙂 Although they actually select a lot higher percentage of out-of-state students than most public schools do I've noticed. And they get a TON of out-of-state applications because their out of state tuition is relatively cheap (a bit cheaper than some privates probably).
 
I heard from NAU yesterday (1/15) with an invite for interviews scheduled for 2/28. Not sure if this has any bearing but I think they had some issues with invite logistics since my interview was immediately rescheduled (same day just different time) when I replied.
 
Haven't heard from them yet but I keep checking my email for something.
 
I called again today to confirm their timeline and a different individual from last time also said expect something by Tuesday, at the latest. So looks like that's the official official word.
 
Just got my rejection, good luck to you all!!

Can I ask what your stats are? I am out of state and too be honest I am feeling like I am bound to get a rejection notice soon too....
 
This is a hunch based on what I've seen/heard so far:

1) NAU first sorted through the in-state apps (which historically have been significantly lower than out-state apps), interviews/rejections were sent out on the 15th/16th.

2) NAU is now sorting through out-state apps. They are currently sending out rejections and working on logistics for interviewees. So if you haven't recieved a rejection or don't recieve one soon, my GUESS is that NAU will send an invite after figuring out the logistics for 3/1.

Wait so have no out-of-staters received interview invitations yet?
 
Pretty sure the out of state interview emails will be sent out on Tuesday (tomm is a school holiday w MLK). Considering they had probably around 1000+ out of state apps and just sent out rejections on Friday, it will take some time to setup the logistics for interviews.

Crossing my fingers that this is the case! Good luck everyone!

I am an out-of-state applicant (California). I got an interview invitation last Wednesday (Jan 15) for an interview on 3/1.

Nice! Congrats! You mind sharing your stats?

The department said all invitations/rejections will be handed out by Tuesday but some acceptances/rejections are trickling in as they process the apps.

Overall GPA: 3.88 (PTCAS)
Pre-Req. GPA: 3.98
GRE: 157 V, 161 Q, 4.0 AW
Observation: ~270 hrs (110 inpatient, ~160 in 3 outpatient settings)

Are they interviewing all in-state applicants on 2/28 and all the out-of-state applicants on 3/1?

My interview is at 7:30 AM (yikes!), and I was wondering if everyone is interviewing together at the same time

Based on your stats, I believe I should be receiving an interview invite tomm (cGPA: 3.84, GRE: 167V, 160Q, 4.0AW), and I will let you know my timing. Looking at NAU threads for years past, it seems like they have interviews at 7:30 and 10.
 
Anyone contact the admissions office today?

Yeh, I called around 12:30 (pst) and the individual said either by EoD today or tommorrow. I also sent an email in the evening inquiring about the delay so I should know more in the morning. My assumption is that since some interviews and rejections have been sent out, everyone should be receiving some kind of correspondence.
 
denied. fiddlesticks. i hate that they use the word "regret" with the news. a little too profound to what i think they're really feeling. crossing my fingers for the rest of you!!! =]​

Same for me
 
Got my invite this morning (it actually somehow got lost so I called the department and the individual checked my status and re-sent it).

3/1, 10 am at flagstaff.
 
If anyone is interested, I emailed the PT dept for the average stats for out of staters given an interview:

144 invited
GPA: 3.755
GRE: 157V, 156Q, 4.4AW
 
BUMP

Has anyone received an acceptance email yet??
 
No new yet :-( I interviewed on 2/28 at the Flagstaff Campus. If anyone recieves news can you please post 🙂
 
No reply yet for me either. Anyone have any reviews on how their interviews went?

Personally I interviewed in flag on 2/28 at 730 am. I had two clinician interviewers and one faculty member. I thought two of them went exceptionally well, but one of the clinicians (ill avoid names) I found to be very abraisive and seemed to ask a lot of unfair, loaded questions. Anyone else have experiences to share?
 
I was in the Phoenix interviews Friday morning, I also had two clinicians and a professor. Kinda got thrown off by the clinicians because I was expecting people more like directly associated with NAU but it seemed to go pretty well. The only question I really felt could have a right or wrong answer depending on how the interviewer felt was about Obamacare and the health care reform and what I thought of how it affected PT. Personally just felt like if they disagreed it would knock me down a bit but who knows.
 
No news yet for me either. I found the interviews very relaxing for the most part, but one of the faculty was more uptight than the other two.

EDIT: I am in-state and interviewed in Flagstaff on Friday morning at 7:30.
 
I haven't heard back yet either. I interviewed with one clinician and two staff, Interviewing with the faculty staff was easier for me for the most part but I didn't feel that he asked any unfair questions
 
I still haven't heard back either. Anyone heard yet? I interviewed at Flagstaff on Friday.
 
Interviewed Friday in Flagstaff at 7:30. In-state candidate. No word yet. This waiting is killing me.
 
Just got an ACCEPTANCE email!!! Literally, right now. I interviewed Friday at 10am on Phoenix campus, and was just accepted to the Phoenix campus!!!
 
Just got my acceptance letter as well! Ill be attending the Flagstaff campus. Congrats genisis
 
I got into the Phoenix Campus 🙂 I interviewed in Flagstaff on Friday at 1:00PM

Congrats to everyone!
