You guys have pretty good stats! I think the downfall in my app is my GRE Scores which is probably why I haven't heard back yet from Pitt. I received V-146 Q-150 AW-4.5 I have a 3.97 Cum and 4.0 Pre-req. But I recently got accepted to Temple so I'm really excited about that. Congrats guys! We're one step closer to our dream!
Same here with the stats, 3.86 overall 3.76 pre req with 800 outpatient, 30 inpatient and 120 home health with a stroke patient. Also student veteran but my GRE's weren't that great so I'm guessing thats why I haven't heard either

Have any of you who were accepted received the "Preview Pitt PT" open house event invitation e-mail yet?
I'm still leaning towards drexel because of the scholarship. I would be saving a significant amount of money. Plus Im from philly so I would already have a place to stay.
