Congrats on everyone getting accepted!! I am currently a 1st year at UTMB and just wanted to offer my assistance. I know with the way interviews are, you may not have had all of your questions answered. If anyone has any general PT school questions or UTMB specific questions, message me! Be proud of yourself for making it this far and don’t fall into the temptation of comparing yourself to others. Y’all are doing great!

Does anyone know if it’s helpful to write a letter of intent if you’re on the waitlist for a school?

I’ve heard this is actually really helpful from previous students on the waitlist. It shows the school you’re committed and interested especially if the school doesn’t have a formal ranking it could work in your favor
 
Has anyone still not heard from UTMB after their interview? I’m seeing that others have received acceptances, but I haven’t heard anything at all so I just wanted to check in.

Hi there! Current 1st year at UTMB. During the interview process they said they will send out some acceptances on January 15, so wait until then. If it helps, I was one of the last group of people to get accepted (February). Try to be patient! I know, easier said then done lol.

Got it! Thank you so much, that’s so helpful.
 
Just a quick question to current DPT students: How did you for DPT school? Did you use loans, and if so, was it from a bank or third party (if third party, which third party would be best)?
I’ve been pondering this for a while now. Thank you so much.

I interviewed on 12/16 and haven’t heard back. I also selected the hybrid program, not traditional.

I was thinking about sending a follow-up email, but I don’t want to be annoying!

I personally used federal loans to cover expenses. Most students go this route. Federal loans should be your first choice before any bank or other third party (private) loans. Federal loans usually have lower interest rates and you can qualify for any forgiveness the federal government might offer. Private loans tend to have higher interest rates and any change that happens at the federal level will not affect them (interest was frozen for several months on federal loans b/c of COVID but not for private. You would have to contact your private loan provider and work something out if COVID affected you and they may or may not work with you). Im no loan expert so I recommend talking with financial aid at whatever school you plan on attending to get more information and do your best to avoid private loans.

@aggie.pt.2020 Were you waitlisted, and if so, did you send a letter of intent (letter of continued interest)?
