Not necessarily! I was accepted regular decision back in December with a 3.52 cumulative AND science. Yeah, it's not a 3.0, but it's also not a 3.7-4 that I've seen from other applicants. One of my friends actually got into Columbia with a 3.02... If your GPA isn't as strong as others, focus on all the other aspects of the application!

Talk to the USC DPT hybrid program admissions manager, Ann Rhee. They waived the application fee due to applying to the residential and are able to get transcripts/letters of recommendation from your residential program application as well. For the application process, the only thing I had to do was fill it out again really quick and write an additional essay on why I am a good fit for USC's hybrid program (in addition to the PTCAS prompt and the USC supplemental essay, both of which we all should have completed already). I was accepted to the hybrid program and waitlisted for the residential program at the same time today lol.
I was on the waitlist and got accepted last week!
When did you apply to the Hybrid program? Was it before the early application deadline?
Congrats! When did you find out you were waitlisted?
I applied to the hybrid program way early, i submitted it before 12/15/2017
I just got a call today letting me know I was accepted of the waitlist!! Good luck to everyone still waiting to hear back!!
Applied: 11/5
Waitlisted: 2/2

Cool! Thanks for the quick response. It has only been a few weeks since my app has been completed, but since I turned it in before the early deadline I am hoping to hear back soon. Waiting for admission decision is more stressful then the application process!
Congrats! A phone call? That is so cool! I thought programs were just going to shoot an email for us to check portal for a decision. The fact that they take the time to call is awesome! Was the acceptance for the residential program or Hybrid?I just got a call today letting me know I was accepted of the waitlist!! Good luck to everyone still waiting to hear back!!

Yesss! I missed his call twice, so if anyone is working during the day I’d recommend keeping your phone with you at all times! It was for the residential program, although I did apply to the Hybrid program the day before because I was so nervous I wouldn’t get in 😛
USC is my dream school too which was why I was really surprised that I got in. My GPA isn't that high and neither were my GRE scores, but I think other aspects of my application weighed that out. People have told me that if you meet the minimum for USC, then they'll look at your overall application.
My cGPA was around a 3.3 and I want to say my prereq was around 3.2
Don't think that just because your GPA isn't high enough to get in! I definitely thought that, but then I got the acceptance letter in December. I still can't believe I made it lol

Congrats! See you in the fall or at the next event at SC!

170k is definitely steep! Unfortunately that figure is more likely to go up than down. Regardless of how high the tuition is, they have no problem getting applicants to the program.
I got the waitlist notification on February 16th. And then accepted the first week of March!
Congratulations, I guess I'll remain hopeful. I have the exact cGPA as you and a pre-req over 3.5 BUT I'm really concerned about my GRE score (295 combined) and I remember reading on USC's site that their accepted students had an average of 312-315 combined.
I was hoping for some good news after deposit date 🙁 but am still waiting! Trying to stay hopeful Was this the last deposit due?
Does anyone know when we'll get the second deposit forms? I submitted my first deposit but haven't heard anything from usc other than they've received my first commitment deposit.
First deposit is 1000, second is 500
That’s way too much
Up until the start of the program in August!

I submitted my app for the hybrid program by the early decision date (Feb) and received an acceptance phone call from Jeff today. Anyone else hear back from the hybrid program?
Congrats! What a relief! Did you submit well before the Feb Deadline? Jeff called me on saturday and said it may take a little more time, but i’m wondering if its because i’m on the chopping block. Heh. Did you have pretty good stats?
still waiting too... does anyone know any updated information regarding waitlist?
No news here
If you're referring to the residential program, then I have no idea.
If you're referring to the hybrid program.. I know the first deposit is due Apr 17th. I assume there will be movement by then.
My admissions counselor said that June 1st is the deadline to hear back whether or not you are taken off the waitlist.

Anyone hear back from admissions?
I think it’s pretty much done, I was told by May 25th for the Hybrid and August for regular but by now it’s too late pretty much.
I was told June 1 was the deadline for the hybrid. Who told you it was May 25th?
Ann told me, but maybe they changed the deadline.
I was told as late as June 14th

Spoke to the department, Hybrid is pretty much full and everyone is getting ready to begin. The regular program chances are very slim. Good luck everyone.

Did anyone on the waitlist hear back from USC?
Hi, I'm in the same position you were in this year. What made you decide one way or the other? Thanks!
I know USC sent another round of acceptances earlier this past week
