hi guyss i just recently got accepted into USA spring 2015 at San Marcos. i know how difficult and frustrating this entire process can be so i'd like to share my story to you guys.
i originally applied to fall 2014 but i submitted my app too late (but before the deadline of fall 2014) and they no longer had any spots for the interview, so they had me on the "waitlist for interview " from dec till maybe may or june of this year then moved my file to spring 2015. I received my interview invitation on 7/18 so around 1 month after the app was due, then had my interview on the 8/8. (they only held two interviews, 1st and 8th of aug for spring 2015). on the day of the interview I had a campus tour first, then group interview with 1 faculty member and 1 student, then had my essay. The interview lasted around 30 min and the questions they asked me were 1. Why PT and why USA 2. How to deal with stress 3. How to work with other people in a group 4. How to handle stress.. or something like that. My essay topic was what’s the biggest challenge you’ll face in graduate school. This entire interview went from 10am till 130pm, which was fairly quick compared to my interview with WesternU.
Then after the interview I waited 8-9 weeks to find out the results, which was surprisingly long since the wait was supposed to be 3 weeks instead of 8-9 weeks. I’d say the past 2 months were nothing but frustrating but im glad I made it. and I wish all of you the best and if you have any question please feel free to PM me.
