Hey everybody! I had to make an account specifically for this thread. Congrats to all those accepted! I was accepted on 11/29/2016 and cannot begin to say how excited I am to be a Trojan. I was accepted or offered interviews at 7 schools, wait listed on one, and rejected by one. Originally, my first choice was EWU, because of the cost. However, USC is ranked #1 for a reason, and if I passed up on the opportunity, I'd always wonder what if... Furthermore, there are creative ways to get rid of the debt that is incurred. For example, working for a government agency for 3-5 years allows for 100% debt forgiveness. Income based repayment plans allow you to pay 15% of your income and all remaining debt is forgiven after 20-25 years. I live in Oregon, so there were no state schools for me to apply where I could benefit from in-state tuition. Pacific University, a private DPT program near me, is 90% the cost of USC ($150k vs $165k) and isn't even ranked in the top 50. Anyway, good luck to everybody, and I can't wait to work with all you future Trojans. It's going to be an honor and a privilege to be part of such a prestigious program.
