Has anyone other than @pvn gotten an interview for UNT?

 

[Mtru6]

I haven't seen a lot of activity regarding UNT on these forums :/

 

[pvn]

I'm from out of state too, so I thought I'd be at a slight disadvantage so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Interview is tomorrow, I'll let ya'll know how many people are there.

 

[aspiringDPT2019]

Can anyone offer insight into Texas Tech Amarillo Campus? I interviewed at Lubbock but got offered a spot in Amarillo. Only have 10 days to accept which isnt long enough to schedule a visit first

 

[pvn]

Only about 20 people at the interview for UNT and there's only one more interview date.

 

[Aspiringtherapist2015]

Anybody else get waitlisted from Hardin-Simmons? Or accepted?

You interview with a professor and a current student. It wasn't high strung or anything, in fact, it probably was my favorite interview. It's just basic questions that every school asks. If anything, I would just read over UNT's information on their website to be prepared. After that, there's a school tour along with a student and faculty panel.

Thank you for the info. I also have to ask do they ask you questions about like apta or current health issues PTs face today or any questions you should read up on?

How'd the interview go? And how many people were there?

I was also at the UNT interview yesterday! There were about 20 people from what I counted.

 

[D_PT4LIFE]

The interview was very relaxed. The faculty is really nice and the fact that there was a student in the room during the interview was comforting.

How did your interview go. Did they stump you on any questions?

No I can't say there were any questions that stumped me. It was one of the more relaxing interviews I have had. I felt like it went pretty well overall.

Dr. Flyzik I believe.

I have an interview in March as well and don't know what to expect.

 

[Physio2016]

UNT has one more interview session in March.

How'd you hear about it?

 

[Physio2016]

I got an email from them on Thursday asking to call them to schedule an interview. She mentioned that it was the last session too, although there could possibly be another one between now and then.

I saw someone on the sticky thread that has already been accepted from the 1/29 UNT interview. Has anyone else been contacted?

I interviewed at UNTHSC on Feb 12th also. I DO NOT feel good about my interview at all. I am super worried about it. Everyone kept saying how laid back and relaxed it would be but it felt super stiff and awkward for me. The student was sort of intimidating and didn't really give me any verbal or non verbal feedback whatsoever. I haven't heard anything back yet.

Who did you interview with if you don't mind me asking?

 

[D_PT4LIFE]

Just found out I've been accepted to UNT!!!!!!

 

[Tnntx23dpt]

Just found out I've been accepted to UNT!!!!!!

Me too! I couldn't believe it. Are you accepting? I REALLY liked the school when we toured it. That's why I have been so worried about not getting in!

 

[kph11a]

Just found out I've been accepted to UNT!!!!!!

I also got a call that I had been accepted!!! Congrats to both you and Tnntx23dpt!

Are ya'll accepting?

 

[kph11a]

Are ya'll accepting?

Yes I plan on accepting. However, I am on the waitlist at Hardin-Simmons, UTSW, and Texas State, so I guess it is not completely set in stone (but more than likely UNT is where I will be going).

 

[D_PT4LIFE]

Are ya'll accepting?

I an waiting to hear from tech and I have another interview coming up but I'm pretty sure I'm accepting.

I interviewed with them back in January. There is a test and there are scenario questions but they're honestly not that bad at all! You spend about an hour with 6 different professors where they each conduct 10 minute interviews with you asking various questions about academics and scenarios (in both clinical and professional setting). Then you'll get the chance to interview with current students and tour the campus.
Hope this helps!

Thanks for the help! Hopefully it really isn't too bad, it's the school closest to family.

Anyone been taken off the waitlist at UNTHSC?

HEY GUYS! So.....FOR ANYONE WHO HAS APPLIED OR ARE PLANNING TO APPLY FOR SAN ANTONIO'S UIW DPT PROGRAM:

I was wondering -- given the PTCAS questions given, are each of these a separate one or two page essay, or are the admissions representatives only looking for a short-answer paragraph? I would really like to know -- thank you!

Hi! I just read your post on a Texas School Thread about getting into TTUHSC! know it's a little bit late and you probably finished your second year DPT, but I hope you still come to this forum! I'm going to Sam as well, I'm also a health science major, and I'm an international student! Just would love to talk with you if you have tips, advices, as well as scholarship opportunity to be eligible to pay in-state tuition! I'm looking at Texas State as my first choice

 

[twugal13]

I called TWU today to ask about my application and they told me I didn't even place on the alternate list because my science GPA was too low. Just got an acceptance letter from UTMB though!!

hello, i know im like a year late but im just curious what your science GPA was?

 

[perez6]

Hey guys,

I'm a current first year at TTUHSC. Let me know if you have any questions about the program or app process! Good luck!

I just finished applying there. I have a 3.78 GPA on the pre-reqs and around a 3.8 for last 60. I have over 500 hours in different settings but my GRE Scores are what I think might kill me. 150 quant, 144 verbal, 3 writing. I'm involved in a lot of extra curriculars and have a PT tech job at the Txst campus and I also teach an a&p lab. What do y'all think?

And how is the whole learning thru a multimedia system?

Thanks ***! I am interviewing at the Amarillo campus!
