Hi All,

I was just curious to see if anyone on here has attended/is currently attending USC's DPT program???

I am considering applying to their 2014 program, but am concerned about my chances of getting in. I was surprised to learn that USC's program requirements were quite minimal in comparison to some other programs, but I'm sure they must actually be much more competitive. I meet the minimum requirements, I'm just not sure if it's enough to be competitive and if it's even worth my time and money applying.

Below are my stats if anyone has any helpful advice...
Overall GPA: 3.7
Pre-Req GPA: 3.6
GRE: 157 (V), 149 (Q), 4.5 (AW)
Observation Hours: approx 1500 hrs in-patient and out-patient (incl: geriatrics, cardio-pulmonary, orthopedics, neurological, and pediatrics)

I also noticed that USC's own grad school application asks for me to list any research experience I have, of which I have none. Is that going to significantly hurt my chances???

Any advice you guys could provide would be great! Thanks so much!

They actually say you do not need to fill out the part on research experience. They said it to me on the phone and I believe I also saw that somewhere on their site.
