Hey everyone! I just interviewed for the University of Miami's DPT program on 10/16 and wanted to open this thread to hear from anyone else who is applying or has already been accepted. Feel free to ask any questions if you're still waiting for an interview and if you've already been accepted, please keep us posted on when you got the news and if there's a DPT Facebook group for the class of 2024 yet. Just because I know some of you will ask, here are my stats ( V:154 Q:153 AW:4.5, GPA 3.4 & prereq GPA 3.6, 150 hours in 3 different settings and I currently work as a physical therapy tech)

Congrats on the interview! I have my interview on the 30th. How would you say the process was? Were the interviews conversational? What kind of questions were you asked?

It was definitely conversational and relaxing like every other forum has said. This year they'll break everyone out into rooms where you'll get to ask admissions members and students questions in separate zooms. My advice is introduce yourself and speak out to get rid of the nerves quickly. Get the first question out of the way, but save your very best, most thoughtful questions for the interviewer. Relax as much as you can because the interviewer will focus on your application and ask about how you fit into the program. It is very much a conversation. Think about the kinds of things they'd be curious about from your application and prepare general themes you'll get into, but don't *rehearse* your answers. Be natural and you'll do great!

congratulations on the interview!
when did you apply ? I finished applying in 8/17 , and I still have not been emailed for an interview
So far all I have received is that admissions is reviewing my app, and that they received my supplemental fee.

I applied mid july and had my interview today. It's probably going to take them some time to go through apps. Best of luck!
 
Any one have any updates on if they are doing more interviews throughout November?
(I submitted mid August and am hoping that all the interviews conducted so far were from July applicants...very nervous) :/

Hey all!

I interviewed on 10/30. I know it is too early, but does anyone know when emails with acceptances, waitlist positions, and rejection will be sent out for those that already interviewed?

During my interview they said we could hear back anywhere between today and March 1st, so I wouldn’t worry!

You are definitely right, there is plenty of time=) . I just worry too much lol. If you don't mind me asking, do you know how many members are in the facebook group? I am trying to guestimate how many seats are left.

I’m not in the Facebook group yet, but I’ll definitely let you know when I join it!
 
I applied around October 1st. When will they send out interviews for people that applied around October?

Somebody on a different UM thread applied October 13th and got an invite for an interview this past Wednesday. So, I don't know how they are looking at applications, but I haven't heard back and I applied on October 15th.
 
Is anyone interviewing in January? My interview is scheduled for then but it seems like most of the interviews will have been done by then. Getting a little nervous about the time frame!

I wouldn’t be too nervous! I know someone in the program now who had their interview in Jan/Feb
 
Hi everyone! I was accepted into the University of Miami a few weeks ago! Is there anyone who is looking for someone to live with if they are accepted already?!

Dude...... well earned. Your application is amazing. Thank you so much for sharing and again congrats =)
 
I interviewed on Nov 13 and made a call to Jhelane 3.5 weeks after to see what the status of the decisions were (she was friendly and the conversation was brief). She said that the committee was going to sit down and go over the applicants so far on the 11th of Dec and that I may hear back the week of Dec13-Dec18 —and if no word comes this week to wait until March. I haven’t heard back yet but does anyone have any good news? 😁

I got called three days ago, or so, with an acceptance.

So, going in I was told that they look over your application and ask you about that but my interviewer did not look at my application at all so I kinda just told her about myself. She asked some basic questions why um, why should we pick you,strength & weaknesses. Overall it was really chill and they had like a tour of the school, q&a and that was it.
