Not a problem! I asked a lot of question myself when I was going through the application process. I applied to the Austin campus October 1st and found out a month later that I had an interview for November 21 (the day of the interview I had described on page 4).
The campus out in Austin is brand new, very nice!! Im not sure what the campus is like in CA or Florida but I imagine they are very nice too. I would imagine that the interview process is the same for all campuses given that they are all tightly connected.
I was in the first interview group and we were notified a month later about being accepted. They had two more interviews after that. From what I have gathered they have just notified the last of the group to be accepted into the May cohort (only 2 1/2 months before classes start). I wish you guys the best of luck!! I am beyond excited to start PT school in a few months!
I hope you all get in too!- Joined

Hi everyone,
I still have not heard anything about interviews. I applied to the MOT program in San Marcos. I am thinking that I am not getting an interview since I haven't heard. Has anyone interviewed for San Marcos campus for Fall 2016?

I applied for the Full-time DPT at the San Marcos campus and I still have not heard anything. Colleen Lyons keeps on informing me they are still in the process of notifying applicants. I have a feeling I am not going to be getting an interview sigh

Thanks for letting me know. I know I am getting nervous. But at least she says they are still processing. Maybe that is a good thing.
After reading previous post and talking with current students at the FL campus this stage of the process can take awhile. Going off last Fall's class which people were finding out in April & May. I agree the lack of news/information they tell us is discouraging hence the saying "no news is bad news". I guess the good thing is they have to email us something eventually to let us know if we're denied or not ha. Any other FL campus people on here waiting for an interview?

I just got an email today for an interview in the St Augustine campus on March 18th at 9:00 AM.
Congrats! Hopefully a few of us from the San Marcos campus will be hearing back soon
Hello,
I'm currently awaiting my interview at the St. Augustine Campus so I've been reading up on what the process was like. I've seen several posts talking about an essay portion (although those have been in the past) and was wondering how you know for sure there is no essay portion. Sorry if that sounds as though I am questioning you, I mean it more as "when was it that you went through this process, and was it at the St. Augustine campus?" Also while I am asking, what were some of the interview questions like?

Hey, I interviewed at San Marcos campus on 2/12 and there's definitely no essay. The whole interview day took less than 3 hours and was very organized! You start as a group for orientation, you break into two groups - 1) interview then tour and 2) tour then interview. These groups are preassigned before your arrival. Your questions will vary based on your interviewer and campus, but expect 1 faculty interviewing a group of 2-3 students. You'll take turns, but it seemed quite relaxed and conversational. There's an old post on this forum that lists almost all possible interview questions and you can check out Dalin Hansen's "creating a DPT" blog for how his interview day went with USA. Hope this helps!

Hey! When I RSVP'd, they emailed me back saying "Thank you for your email confirmation, we look forward to meeting you!"
Congrats on your interview! Did you apply for the Flex program? I applied for the Flex DPT. and although she said it would be the end of this month that we would hear about interviews I am nervous that I have not heard anything yet. Has anyone else that applied for the Flex program heard about interviews?
Thanks. I confirmed with them this morning. Big sigh of relief haha.

I also interviewed at San Marcos on 2/12! Have you heard back if you have been accepted yet? I feel like I'm checking my email and application all of the time!
Do you know if they are done having interviews at the San Marcos campus? I haven't heard anything from them. No rejection, no interview. Nothing. Think my application was lost? I've been in contact with Colleen Lyons and she stated she has submitted my application.
I also interviewed at St. Augustine's San Marcos campus on the 12th. It seems that they're doing the interviews in waves as there is another interview scheduled on the 26th. I'm not sure if there is any others scheduled after that, but there very well might be.
I had to ride St. Augustine every step of the way to get my application through. I'd suggest becoming a thorn in their side and keep asking for information until you can get a hold of someone who can give you a straight answer.
Thank you for the response. Who specifically did you contact? Someone from admissions or a counselor?
I talked with Carolyn Perryman when I was filling out my application. I had a lot of trouble uploading my documents which seems to be a common problem for everyone that's applied. However, since you've already submitted your app I'd recommend contacting Jennifer Finn in admissions. She's the one in charge of the admissions process at the San Marcos campus from what I understand.
Hope this helps and best of luck
For all San Marcos applicants for Fall 2016.
This is an email I received from the Admissions specialist at the San Marcos campus.
"We have only had one interview day for Fall DPT, and that was for the highest qualified candidates. We will host one more interview day, however that is for anyone that could not make the first interview date, or someone that has competitive GPAs with the candidates that have already interviewed."
"Should your file, or any other applicant’s file, that is staged under a Pre-Interview Waitlist, will be reviewed and possibly be invited for the last interview day next month. We keep interviewing based on how many seats we have available."

Just went to the fl campus interview today and it was a lot of fun. They had about 107 students there (said it was the largest interview group they have had yet, however I also do not know how many were dpt/mot and flex/non flex). They started off with an oreintation that took up a majority of the time. Then a group a went on a tour and then had interviews (2 to 3 people in one interview). Group b followed 30 mins after. Just as everyone has states before, the interview is very laid back, so dont overthink it. They seem to ask questions pertaining to your past experiences. They asked me and the other interviewee a lot on work experience, integrity, and communication. They also said we should hear back jn 2-3 weeks on acceptances/ denials. Hope this helps some!

Just as Zephyur said, the interview was very laid back. I was super nervous in the morning going in at 8:30, but as the orientation in the morning from 9:00 - 11:30, I got much less stressed and felt a lot better! Then the tour and interview. In my interview it was me and another student and 1 professor. Our interviewer was super nice, and truly wanted to get to know us and the interview itself felt more like a giant discussion. It was a good experience. Hopefully we will hear back soon with some good news!

Hey. Yes I interviewed last weekend for the February 26th interview. I interviewed for the fall 2016 cohort. Haven't heard anything back yet, they said it would be 3 weeks for a decision!
Oh ok, I didn't realize it just passed. I hope it went well! Any advice?
Sure! If you read the above posts, it's as relaxed as people say it is.there were about75 candidates. We had orientation, campus tour, interview and lunch. We were broken up into 3 groups A,B,C. In the interview ur supposed to interview with 1-2 other applicants. For some strange reason, I guess an applicant didn't show up ? But I interviewed by myself . It was cool. They really just try to get to know you. They ask mostly personal questions. I was nervous at first but the interviewer made it less stressful.make sure u ask questions. Thus 3 week wait us killer but I got my prayers up. Good luck . Ru interviewing for the fall?

When I interviewed at St. Augustine on the 26th, this past friday. We had about 105 people there, and there were people interviewing for DPT, MOT, FLEX, and some people interviewing for Miami campus. They didn't say exactly how many of each.

I interviewed at the Austin campus on February 19th for the fall. Mostly MOT with about 5 DPT and flex. But I'm not sure if the DPTs were there for summer or fall.
February 19th was supposed to be my original interview date and it was changed to the 26th. If there were only 5 dpt's interviewing , maybe that was their second interview for fall applicants? I'm pretty sure there wasn't a single MOT in our group. Our folders all had nothing but DPT information and the Director of the program spoke and it was only about PT.
congrats buddy!!! what campus and semester?

Are you doing the dual program? And I'm guessing for the St. Augustine campus interview on the 18th?

Sorry for the delay! But I'll be interviewing for the San Marcos campus, and I'm doing the regular DPT route. Does anyone know if this is the last interview date at all?
