West Coast University DPT stats?

[RoadtoPT]

Hello everyone! I am currently interested at West Coast University's DPT program. I was accepted into St Augustine DPT program in San Marcos but going to West Coast would allow me to stay home and save me a lot of money from rent. If you were accepted into the West Coast University DPT program, what were your stats?

Have you heard anything from the school yet? I have an interview on 2/22, so I'm assuming they haven't fully filled up the spots just yet.

 

[AniRae]

No I haven’t heard anything yet either. Will keep you updated though. And good luck on your interview

 

[AniRae]

Update:
I got an email yesterday stating that I’m on their waitlist!

 

[Kweenkza]

I received an acceptance yesterday but I’ll most likely be turning it down

 

[tDPT2021]

I have an interview tomorrow, 2/22! For those that did their interviews already, any tips?

For me, I was so nervous because it was my first interview! Lol. So my advice to you is to just breathe, and relax because the interview is very laid back and is like having a conversation amongst four of you. Don’t be afraid to ask for clarification if you don’t understand a question, and also ask them questions about the program, etc. Good luck!

Thank you!

I know you said you were waitlisted. Can I ask for your stats?

Congrats thats awesome to hear! I got an email today saying I'm on the waiting list I'm kind of disheartened because I'd really like to stay closer to home and not having to worry about moving out. Does anyone know the odds of getting in when on the waiting list?

I got on the waitlist as well :/

 

[DPT_UG]

I got on waitlist too and Mary said that we will get to know waitlist order number after March 15, will be attending Western University Pomona.

 

[DPT_UG]

Yes I did just today! They accepted me today, 3/2 at 1pm PST 🙏🏽 I got an email from Mary, no phone call

Congrats! Are you attending ?

 

[dpt_gabs]

Congrats! Are you attending ?

Thank you! I am very grateful for the opportunity, but I will actually not attend. It turns out I got taken off the waitlist and accepted to UCSF/SFSU today too, so that is where I will be attending this summer I hope my spot gets to go to someone on this thread!!

 

[rebeccalee0404]

Does anyone know how far deep into the waitlist west coast goes?

I got on the waitlist too. One of my colleagues was on the waitlist a few years back, and he eventually got accepted! So there's hope!

 

[rebeccalee0404]

Did anyone get that email this morning about the possible summer 2021 cohort?

 

[tDPT2021]

Did anyone get that email this morning about the possible summer 2021 cohort?

Yes, I did. I haven't finished my medical terminology course yet. Do you think I will still be given the opportunity to be a part of the summer 2021 cohort?

Also, will you say yes?

 

[rebeccalee0404]

Yes, I did. I haven't finished my medical terminology course yet. Do you think I will still be given the opportunity to be a part of the summer 2021 cohort?

Also, will you say yes?

Oh I’m not sure. Possibly.
And yeah I would say yes if I was offered a spot in the summer cohort

 

[rebeccalee0404]

Are we going to know today where we rank on the waitlist?

 

[97dpt]

Are we going to know today where we rank on the waitlist?

I thought we were supposed to but I didn’t get an email.

 

[hohowogml]

I just got an email from Mary that I'm on #mid 30. Hope I get the seat!

 

[kenziemae]

I’m #24 on the waitlist, is that good? I’m not sure how many people get taken off usually

 

[rebeccalee0404]

Does anyone know how far deep into the waitlist they go??

 

[DPT_UG]

I am on #13 waitlist, it seems that waitlist number changes every week.

 

[kenziemae]

What do you mean it changes every week? They send out a weekly update of the waitlist?

 

[brother2g]

Congrats! Do you mind sharing your stats?

To note, stats are just one part of the whole application. As you can see, my GRE scores are beyond low (was really hesitant to post them) and they still looked at my application holistically. I truly believe that my PTCAS essay and interview played a big role in my acceptance, so don't give up! I actually didn't think I would get accepted into any school that required the GRE.

Update. Emailed Mary to see if there’s been any changes to my waitlist ranking. I was at #24 and I am now at #19. They said I’m in a good position and to check back in two weeks since they expect more changes.

Were you able to get off of the waitlist and gain admission?

 

[kenziemae]

Were you able to get off of the waitlist and gain admission?

I haven’t hear from them in a while. But I said I didn’t want to do the financial aid meeting that they said was optional. But then they said that if you do the meeting then you have a higher chance of getting off the waitlist before others. But I was upset cause it said on the email that it wasnt required to do it. So ever since I told them I wasn’t ready to do the financial meeting, I haven’t heard from them about my position. But the reason I didn’t want to do the meeting was because I was going to be hearing from my second choice school in a few days, and I ended up getting in and will be attending there. So I haven’t really bothered to reach out to West Coast since I wouldn’t accept admission .

Wait! When did you get the email about the optional financial aid meeting? I don’t think I ever got any email about that

They sent it once I got into the Top 20 for the waitlist! It was in early April
