That's news to me and I'm a Georgia resident. I did a quick search and it's in the process of getting candidacy status, which I'm assuming they need before setting up shop here. There are already 7 schools in Georgia with Brenau still in the candidacy stage so I have to wonder if they'll be granted candidacy status.

I don't know anything about the program specifics, but I do know a good portion of the faculty. I am currently in my last year at UNG and we had a lot of turnover during my first two years. Many of the faculty members went to PCOM. I absolutely loved those faculty members and highly recommend them, so I wouldn't hesitate to tell future applicants to apply there.
Do you recommend UNG? I am attending there for undergrad and every PT that I've shadowed that went there has told me not to go there unless it is my last option.

At this moment, no I would not. When I first started here I definitely would but the program has gone through SO many changes in the past two years. I still love several of the professors and would highly recommend them, but not the program as a whole.
Not sure how relevant this may be but applying to UNG left a pretty bad taste in my mouth... Granted I applied a bit later than most (end of August), I didn't hear from them for several months and when I asked for my rejection letter (in December) just to have closure, they seemed really unapologetic. I don't know if anything's changed when I was an applicant 2 years ago, but it's a a waste of money if you aren't going to apply early. Friends of mine that applied earlier than me received alternate position interviews in September which I think is rather silly. Hope that helps!

@hawkesome That was exactly my case haha. Are you planning on applying to schools this cycle or are you still just scoping around for program info?
@hawkesome Cool cool, I'm currently at Emory, but feel free to ask me about where I'm at, Mercer, or GSU since I applied to those schools as well!
I am meeting with the program director at PCOM this week to learn more about their program. I can message you afterwards if you'd like!
