Anyone apply for USA early decision? Which campus and have you heard anything back yet?
Hello! I did not apply early decision, but I applied for the Spring 2020 cohort for the San Marcos campus. I had a scheduled phone call with the enrollment advisor yesterday morning and she said that I would be hearing back in the next 1-2 weeks with a decision from the admissions committee. If they offer me an interview she told me that they are doing them once a month from now through December.
I didn't know that about the interviews. I originally applied ED but I thought I would have the option of selecting the term I wanted. This wasn't the case. So I have to wait until November to hear their decision for the summer 2020 class... And I applied to the Austin, Texas campus! Good luck with everything!
Hi congrats!You didn't have the option to select a term when you applied ED? That is really odd. So they will let you know in November if you are accepted into the Summer 2020 start date?
I have an update from the San Marcos campus. I had my scheduled phone meeting on Thursday around noon, and on Friday morning I got an email inviting me for an interview on campus. I am excited as this is the first response I have gotten so far. If anyone else is going I'd like to connect, and if anyone knows anything about how the interview day goes I'd like the insight as well

That is awesome! And thank you! I didn't apply for the flex program, just the residential. My stats aren't anything spectacular, 295/4.0 on the GRE and 3.0 gpa. I have ~500 hospital/inpatient volunteer hours and ~1000 outpatient hours, and lots more hours in progress since I work as a pt tech in an outpatient clinic. I'll be interviewing on the 17th this month!!!!Hi congrats!
I’m applying for the same campus! I took my GRE 3 days ago and as soon as the official scores upload I’ll get a response. I’m anticipating getting invited to interview. My stats are pretty good. I’m applying for flex DPT. How about you? Would you mind sharing your stats? That is so exciting. What is your interview date?
Yes first time applying to St Augustine!Congrats!! Is this your first time applying to St. Augustine?

I applied at Austin (Spring 2020 residential) but haven't been able to reach the advisor for the past week since she originally contacted me. Has anyone been able to reach their advisor?
Kind of. She called and left a voicemail with a follow-up email. I replied to the email with what she asked for but she's been MIA since thenHave you had your pre advising phone call yet? I know the Fall cohort starts on Monday, so they are probably dealing what that and waitlist stuff. I have been able to reach the San Marcos advisor, but i’m on the Fall 2019 waitlist.

That's what I'm trying to find out... she wanted me to fill out the prereq form first so I did and I'm not sure what's happened since then. There doesn't seem to be a general number I can call to connect with anyone in admissionsDo you know if she submitted your application?

Yeah I did a day ago but it probably won't matter. This is my second time applying and it was just as bad before. Their admissions process doesn't give me a great impression of the school to be honest.I also applied to the Austin location but for summer... The advisor is MIA and very difficult to get in touch with in general. Maybe try leaving her a voicemail at her extension may help.

I'll be in San Marcos on the 17th!Anyone interviewing for USA this month?
I did yesterday at St. Augustine!
It was similar to what others have described on previous forums. Our group interviewing was pretty small but the whole day was organized very well and the faculty was extremely nice; they tried to make us as comfortable as possible. Just read through previous years' forums for sample questions and try to view it as a two way conversation with your interviewer. I had one other person in my group and one interviewer. Good luck!!
I just wrote refer to essay in the supplemental section. I didn’t want to write that either and I got an interview for next month.Does anyone know if the PTCAS essay will be considered by admissions? The requirements page mentioned only the purpose statement, so I'd rather not spend time writing another essay if it's not going to be read.
Thanks so much for the response! Lord knows how long it would've taken for admissions or an enrollment advisor to get back to me (typically a couple of days if at all) Good luck on your interview!I just wrote refer to essay in the supplemental section.

Thank you!Big congrats! How were the interview questions?
Awesome stuff, I hope to get an interview my GRE is exactly the same and cGPA.Thank you!
1. Tell me about yourself
2. Why PT
3. How do you handle stress
4. What would you do if you saw a classmate cheating?
It felt like more of a conversation than a group interview. It was very laid back and my interviewer gave us tons of time to ask her questions as well.
No, the residential!I was invited to that but had to postpone to a later date. Are you interviewing for the hybrid program?
Is your interview for the spring or summer start?No, the residential!

Last I heard about a week ago was that they'd send through my app and I should hear something within roughly 4 weeks.Have you heard anything from USA Austin yet?
