Has anyone on this forum applied to the PT program at University of North Texas? I applied early decision and am wondering when the program starts notifying applicants whether they will be interviewed/waitlisted/interviewed/denied?

Any information or advice would be great! Thanks!

Hello! I applied to UNT as well, and they already called me about setting up an interview with them. I declined it, though.

I applied as well but haven't heard anything back from them. I will let you know if I do hear something though.

Good luck to you.

did UNT finally get its accredidation as a DPT program?? or is it suppose to be in the coming year or years??

UNT won't be accredited until just before the first class graduates, which will be next spring.

Good luck to everyone who has applied and is waiting to hear!

How does the notification process usually work with rolling admissions? Do they usually have a preference of who they want to interview first then hand out interviews to other students later?

I have an interview this Friday. Any idea what to expect for the interview process?

Would you mind sharing any tips from the interview this week? I hope it went well for you!

I was very impressed by the program and staff at UNT. They truely care about that student's success. The interview process was very informative and relaxed. I enjoyed it a lot. If you get invited to an interview do not stress yourself out. Some of the questions were difficult, but I think they were just trying to get to know you as a person

Glad to hear it was relaxed - best of luck penguin!!

Still waiting since my post above.... I wish they'd at least let us know something. The suspense is killing me.

I applied very early at UNT DPT when the application opened in May but have heard nothing. I forgot to mention I just completed my last two prereqs last December. Tried to correspond with the admission advisor but she was not of much help. I do not know how much chance I have to secure admission there. Below are my stats and any advice will be appreciated.

Prereqs GPA - 4.00/4.00
Last 60 hours GPA - 3.45/4.00
undergrad GPA - 3.1
PT Observation - 90 hours
Healthcare experience - 3000 hours

My first degree was actually in Engineering and that's why my GPA suffered. I wish I did something different.

abasimike - did you ever hear from UNT?

Their last interview day was Feb 24th.

Does anyone have any thoughts on their accreditation status? I know all programs start out this way, but is it worth the risk?
Or for those who have visited did the campus show how much potential their program has?!

Thanks! 🙂

I applied and didn't get in. They sent me a rejection letter last week, but honestly I'm glad. They seem disorganized... I sent in my application in October and did not hear from them AT ALL until they sent me a rejection letter. Turns out, the check I sent for my application fee wasn't received and they did not even inform me I was missing anything until they rejected me. I have good stats, so I know it had nothing to do with that. I applied to two other schools in Texas who would follow up with everything and at least let me know if I was missing anything. Sorry if this sounds bitter, I just get fed up with disorganized schools or schools who show no interest in you as an applicant. 👎

I got a rejection letter a few weeks ago, but I am not surprised as I was still completing some pre-req's and did not have many volunteer hours at the time. Has anyone heard yet whether or not they got accepted?

Also, I sent a reply letter asking them to evaluate my application to find out what parts of my application were weak for when I reapply next year, did anyone else do this as well?

TxDPT14 - I completely understand, it is nice when a school treats as you as just an applicant.

I have had several schools who don't care about notifying you about anything - UNT is not the only one. Virginia Commonwealth made me wait almost 5 months before they sent me a rejection letter (they don't offer interviews). However, as an applicant it is also our job to follow up with them. I followed up with every school to make sure they received all my documents. They are dealing with over 1,000 application after-all.
Texas Womens for instance showed me denied on their online forum I could view but waited a month to send me a letter. That was sure nice of them.

I visit North Texas soon. I'm expecting a nice campus since it is in the medical building. We shall see 🙂
