Hey all,

So I'm getting ready to finish my PTCAS application, and I was wondering if anyone else applying/already in a PT program could give me some advice about shadowing. I currently have 110 shadow hours in 1 Outpatient Clinic; however, I plan on getting some more shadow hours during the next month for Inpatient. If I submit my application now, and continue to update my PT hours for the next month, will PT schools see the hours I originally submitted right when I send everything in or do they not look at applications until the Firm Application Date when everything must be turned in for specific schools? I know that having only 1 clinic in outpatient might affect my PT application, and I wanted some information on when schools actually check the PT hours completed if they are on a Firm Application Date.

Thanks in advance, and good luck to everyone else applying!
 
It depends on each school. Some have rolling admissions so the might look at it before you update your application with the future hours, and others may wait until the deadline.
