Sorry I'm late, but the interview was pretty chill for me. Hope you had a successful interview!

I'm actually embarrassed to share this since they are so low, but I'll do it to give others hope and show that they can get in with sub 3.0 GPAs

Overall GPA: 2.76 (College was an interesting time in my life l o l)
Pre-Req GPA:2.93
GRE: 149V, 151M, 3.5 W

Volunteer/Work experience:

PT Aide @ outpatient clinic: 1 year, 500~ hours
Rehab Tech @ Morristown Medical Center: 3 years, 2500~ hours (I honestly think this is what helped me a ton)

--

I applied in early September (deadline was Oct.15) and heard back for my pre admission in December. I was notified for my interview in mid January (for Feb.1). Just heard back yesterday for my acceptance yesterday.

I was talking to the admissions coordinator to follow up on my acceptance, and they said that I was very strong with my interview (very personable, outgoing, strong responses to questions)

Honestly if you think you'll have trouble with your interview, look up "A New Exercise: How to Succeed at the Interview for a DPT Program".

I swear by this book. It helped me tremendously in formulating my answers to common questions, as well as picking up on certain mannerisms, etc.

Wow thank you for your insightful and inspiring post. If you do not mind me asking, did you go early decision? Also, which campus did you get into. Any other advises for someone who is in a very similar situation as you are? Im trying to get into any campus at all costs. Thank you

I did!

Do you mind sharing your stats? Also which campus and term(spring,summer,fall) is easiest to get into, and does early decision help?

Just got an email from admissions saying I was accepted into their Fall program! I was super relieved considering how low my academic stats were...
