And I am planning to go to the open house in October
I've had the same problem with Observation hours!! I have two PT's that said the submitted my hours but I cannot see them on my end.. I have called a couple times this week. I hope they call me back tomorrow so I can submit my application ASAP being that the deadline is in ONE WEEK!!! Im afraid that they will consider my application incomplete w/o those hour confirmations! :/
did you call today!? Ugh i've been calling and calling!!!
Yeah every time I have called her she has answered almost immediately. Maybe your calling the wrong number or something? I've been using (800) 241-1027 and then the extension 3129. Maybe I'm just getting lucky.
Yeah thats what I read but when I called her she said that was a minimum. She also said that if I'm having trouble writing the SOP because of length, to add details from the autobiography that I wrote. I guess it allows them to know what your like while also knowing why you want to attend.
Its on the far right under Admission Decision. Mine is still blank…. AHHH SO NERVE RACKING!
these are what I calculated because USA doesn't factor in + and -
Summer 16 deadline was October 1st….The next deadline for Fall 16 is December 15 (i think)
you're correct. and after speaking to admissions, apparently if you are applying for december deadline and are an extremely competitive candidate, they can pull you from the fall' 16 pool and consider your app for the the summer '16 if there are some spots left and you are interested. food for thought.
You have me worried now. What kind of mistake did they make?
nothing terrible. admissions lady just gave me a few misinformation. and i had a hunch so i called the general admissions number to double check and she corrected the misinformation.
Did they tell you why they were moving your application from summer to fall? Were there a lot of summer applicants last year?Hey Everyone!!
I just wanted to post a general overview here of some stuff I have dealt with in the past year at USA so you all know what to expect the new few months. I have applied for Summer 2016 DPT at the Florida campus most recently. First of all I will say these forums are extremely helpful (I have been apart of them since I originally applied for Summer 2015). Admissions can very much be a pain in the butt to get in touch with. I have had a lot of success talking to Emily Staub at the Florida campus ([email protected]). She has been one of the few to respond in a timely manner to either answer my questions or at least direct me to someone else.
Long story short, I have been through a lot with USA in the last year. Originally applied for Summer 2015 then had to move my application to Fall 2015 where I was waitlisted. My biggest issue I encountered here was that they did not seem to have a protocol for what happens to those on the waitlist. After struggling to get in touch with anyone (until I found Emily's email on here), I was told they were not sure what they were going to do with those of us who did not end up getting a spot for Fall. After about 7 weeks I was finally told I could start the flex program, possibly start in Miami in January, or move to CA or TX for a possible January start. I already live just north of the St Augustine, FL campus and really would like to stay in the area. Starting in St Augustine in January was not an option they gave me and no one could tell me why. I ended up getting them to move my application to Summer 2016, which I feel will be a good option overall!
I have found throughout all of this that persistence is key to getting questions answered. USA probably thinks I am one of the most annoying people ever, but hey all my questions have finally gotten answered. These forums are also awesome if people let us know what they hear. I am currently in physical therapy for my hip and have spoken with a lot of the PTs in the clinic I go to about St Augustine. One of their OTs graduated from USA. I have been told by all of them admissions is the worst part. They have assured me that once you get in, the program is awesome. The OT there said she loved it overall, from the curriculum to the professors to some of the events they got to be involved with. She said just to keep jumping through their hoops and it will get better
Because my application has been moved around quite a bit I am not sure on dates for us though. Have any of you been given a general timeline for interviews? My application status currently says I am being reviewed.
Anyway, sorry for the mini novel just wanted to let you all know a few of the problems I have encountered in hopes that you won't have to deal with them!! Any other questions you have feel free to ask, I have been through in the interview process before so kind of know what that is like as well. Here's to hoping we all start in May!!
Did she specifically say that we won't hear back until after the holidays? That's weird because when I talked to Dianna a month back I asked her specifically if they were still working on spring applicants because I was anxious in knowing how long it would be before they send interview invites. She told me they were finished with spring and the applications will be looked at after the deadline (Oct 1). But she didn't tell me how long before invites are sent
