Does anyone here go to St Augestine University? Is it hard to get it? Are they strict about their pre reqs?

Thanks.

The institution that you are referring to is called "The University of St. Augustine," and to ask if a program is hard to get into is a little uncomfortable to read. Most individuals who are applying to DPT school are not looking for a short cut to their clinical doctorate. Likewise, I find it very troubling that someone would even ask where the easiest school are to get accepted to. On another post, you asked something about what would be the fastest track to earning your DPT. This is not something that a post-graduate prospective Physical Therapy student should be asking.

The sub-link that you yourself provided has a section called "apply for admissions" to which you will find all the information about the program you need. From that you should be able to gauge for yourself if the program is right for you or not.

I am applying to pt schools for the first time this summer, and I have asked myself similar questions in regards to the schools I'm looking at. But I'm not trying to find one that is "easier" to get into, rather, I am looking at schools that require classes I have already fulfilled. Some schools require two semesters in biology, a requirement that I regret to say have yet to fulfill [I'm taking my 2nd bio class this spring, when it's too late to count 🙁] But I'm still applying to those schools because there's no harm in trying [except the cost to apply 😛].

I guess you could define "hard" by competitiveness, but who is to say that one is more competitive than another? they are all difficult to get into in their own way, that's why we all stress about getting into any school in this forum.

But to answer your question to the best of my ability, maybe look at the comparison of schools on ptcas [I believe there is a table with schools, requirements, etc] so you can decide what schools you may have the best chance of getting into. If USA has pre-reqs that you did well on, as opposed to other school's pre-reqs, then I guess it's "easier" to get into because you meet all the requirements. Said in a more logical way, you probably have a better chance of getting in, because you've done all the requirements well.

I hope this helps 🙂

👍 My thoughts exactly.

Actually, it will count. You can apply to schools with outstanding pre-reqs, just not a whole bunch of them. If you only have one biology class to take this spring, it will count as planned/in progress and you will just have to update your academics after you complete the course. Schools will admit you with outstanding pre-reqs, but it will be a conditional admission and you will have to get a certain grade or better in the outstanding courses.

So, its not too late to count those courses....just thought you should be properly informed.

-thanks! I'm still gonna apply to those schools, especially because one of them is my first choice. I had thought the same until I went to the info session for one of the schools, the speaker specifically answered this same question, as it had come up a few times. she said rather matter-of-factly that pre-reqs taken the spring prior to admission will not be counted. there were quite a few long faces after that info session. but I'm still gonna try; the speaker isn't the only one who will be deciding on my admission, and hopefully the other pre-reqs as well as my other qualities will outshine this.

ps: good luck with duke! 🙂
