I haven't heard anything either. Their Twitter account says that the StAugustine campus is open until further notice. I'll be driving down from Virginia and it makes me really nervous trying to get back after interviews.
Good luck! Try calling them. For Miami, does anyone know if sep 29 is the first interview round and how long after we should hear?

Just got an email from St. Augustine Sept 8th interviews are cancelled. 🙁
Gawd, they couldn't decide on anything sooner? That sucks. Also, I wonder if this will impact summer 2018 applications at all.
I hope not we should be expecting ours around November time.
Interview for San Marcos September 22! Any helpful information or tips are greatly appreciated!!
Hello! May I ask you how the interview went?
I interviewed at San Marcos on Sept. 8th and overall it was a very laid back process! I interviewed with two other candidates and it felt more like a conversation than an interview which made me feel much more relaxed. Good luck!
May I ask what questions they asked you guys? Trying to gauge if they like to reuse questions...
Congrats on the interview! About how many dpt applicants were there?
I was at the interview at the Austin campus on Sept. 8. Does anyone know if there will be another interview to assess more applicants? I counted about 70 applicants at the interview last Friday. So if they take around 65 then that means that most of us will probably get in...
I was at the Sept 8th interviews in San Marcos as well. But I'm for OTD. I think it was good mix of OT and PT candidate's. Overall, I felt the interview was very casual and relaxed. The questions varied depending on the interviewer, from what I gathered from talking to others. I was in a group of 2 OTD students, myself and one other. But I know of one other group that was mixed OT and PT students. My interviewer didn't ask us many questions from her list. She asked us more personality trait questions. Like Why OT? What's the difference between OT and PT? Simple things like that. Hope this info helps a little bit.

Hi there! I have a friend who is a DPT student at Austin and she said there was another round today that looked like about 30 applicants.
From what I can remember:
Why University of St. Augustine? How do you handle stress and how will you handle an advanced course load? What will you bring to this program and what do you expect to gain from your fellow students?
I wasn't asked these questions but I they might pop up: Define integrity and tell me a time you demonstrated it/or when your integrity was questioned. Scenarios: How would you persuade someone? If you or a student you knew were given a test cheat sheet what would you do? Etc.
Hello,
I was also at the Austin campus on Sept 8th for the interview. Like what has already been said, that date had about 70 DPT candidates. I heard there are about 2 or 3 different interview dates so our group was only a handful of the potential student body.
I was in a group of 4 candidates, including myself, during the interview.

Some questions they asked us:
- Tell me about yourself (left it open for us to say anything)
- Tell me about your experiences in PT
- How do you deal with stress?
- What would you do if are unable to meet an individual assignment deadline? With the fellow group members, you would be able to break down the assignment into parts to complete the assignment. (Assuming they are testing your academic honesty and integrity)
Did they say when you'll hear back by?
Were you able to get a read on about how many Flex candidates there were?
They told us it will be about 3 weeks. So hopefully by the 29th we should know.
Thanks! Miami interviews are at the end of September so it'll be very late to hear back mid October/November.

I haven't heard back either yet. I wish they would have just sent out all of the emails on the same day. Hopefully, they just had a lot of candidates to reply to individually!
