Yeah I'm waiting on Puget Sound which is my number 1 on paper, but they dont let us know until after winter break 
... Luckily I've been accepted into UNE which I actually liked a lot, so there's a lot of pressure off my shoulders. However, the perfectionist in me is still stressing over these finals that I have, as well as gettin' into my top schools... Watching basketball, playing with my dog, and going to the gym have helped ease the stress tho 😀

still trying to figure out what my #1 choice is
lol that'd probably be a nice position to be in...no stressing about having one school to get into!
What's your number 1? That's a long wait!
wurd
i'm waiting on both of those, too ..........................
lol
i'll take your in-state tuition and you can have mine
Well I think if it gave us both guaranteed acceptance then we'd probably take that deal.
P.S. I'm starting to think it was a pretty bone-headed move to apply to so many OOS public schools.
Tuition at private schools isn't going to be much better (or could be worse)...if you are from the intermountain west (where each state only has 1 public PT school) you are kinda SOL on in-state tuition if you don't get in to that one.

right. I was talking more about chances of acceptance rather than cost. It seems to me a lot of public schools toss the OOS applications the moment they receive them. maybe not.
That's definitely true. There are some public schools (like University of New Mexico) that flat out say that they are probably only going to accept 1 or 2 out of state students a year. But hundreds apply anyway. But NAU and UNLV actually accept a substantial portion of their class from OOS, particularly UNLV (bummer for you...but take heart NAU isn't a lot different in terms of OOS acceptances).
Crazy enough, I have had much better luck with OOS schools my last two applications cycles. Haha.
In-state has always been my number one. Crossing my fingers for third time's a charm!
So you've been accepted to PT school and then not matriculated to any of the schools you were accepted to, effectively holding out until next year for a better offer?
i have yet to be offered any acceptance ever. in total my past two cycles have included 3 interviews OOS and 1 IS; and have been waitlisted at 4 OOS schools. never gotten called to matriculate.

Ah gotcha. I've been curious if it's possibly to re-apply to PT school if you've been accepted but decided to decline to hold out for a better offer next year. Because I know doing this for medical school would be an end to your career, but I don't know if you could get away with this for PT school. Just curiosity really.
were they all public schools?
I believe so.
