I received an email from Touro the other day stating:
"Thank you again for your application to Touro College’s Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) program. After reviewing your application, the admissions committee is requiring that you retake the GRE in order to make your application more competitive even though your GRE score exceeds our posted minimum. Please update the office of admissions as soon as a new GRE score report is available (school code: 7595).
Your application will only be considered further once we receive the new official GRE score report from PTCAS using the code listed above. Keep in mind that the Touro DPT program admits students on a rolling basis and may fill prior to posted deadline dates. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions regarding this information."
I was a little shocked that they would REQUIRE me to spend the time and money to retake the GRE, and would only consider my application if I did so. Has anyone else received this email? It seems like a lot to ask, especially for a school that has lower standards. Any advice on how to handle this without taking the exam?
