Did anyone get an interview invite for WesternU in Pomona??
Members don't see this ad.
 
Yes!! First invite for me! Kind of a bummer that their interviews take place during the first week of winter classes though :/
 
Congrats, guys! I'm in my first year at WesternU. It's a great program. Good luck!

I put my first preference as January 11 since I have fewer classes on that day. Still gonna miss one, but it's syllabus week anyway :shrug:
 
Good luck those that got interviews. I applied but haven't received anything from them yet =/.

Me neither. I got an email a week ago from the Director of Admissions that they were at the time processing those apps with overall and prereq GPAs of 3.40 and above, which my overall GPA hasn't qualified. However, that just means they'll go down the list and if there's still room they'll get to the lower GPAs and whatnot.
 
I haven't heard back yet, but is anyone going to the info session on the 19th?

I didn't receive an email like that. It makes sense now though. Hopefully we both hear back and get an interview soon!

Hi all, for those of you who received interview invites from Western U, would you mind sharing when they notified you via email for the invite and the date options to choose from? Thank you!

When I check my application status on their website:
https://banapps.westernu.edu:4443/pls/live8/bwskalog.P_DispLoginNon
My status shows, "Application Materials Received". Is this the same for everyone else?

The dates were 1-10, 1-11, and 1-17

Thanks dgt329! Would you mind sharing what your application status shows on Western U's website? I'm now a bit worried about whether my application has been further processed since I have not heard anything from them since submitting my supplemental and providing all the necessary documents.

Same- "application materials received"
 
Will WesternU continue to send out interview invites or was last Friday the only day they send them? :nailbiting:

Have you received a confirmation email for your interview time yet??
 
Did anyone receive an email today saying their application is now being sent to the admissions committee for review?

No dice over here. Do you mind sharing your stats? A few posts above said that they're currently processing all applicants with a 3.4 and above GPA for overall and pre reqs. I'm curious if they have started going down the list yet for us with lower GPAs.

My stats aren't the greatest so I am assuming that they are moving from the 3.4 range? Although all the email said was that "Good news! Your application has been processed and sent to the Department of Physical Therapy's Admissions Committee for review." Then they explained what the next step would be if I were to get an interview.

Anyways these are my stats:

Overall GPA: 3.36
Prereq: 3.12
Gre: 152V 159Q 4.5W
Hours: 150ish in four different settings (Inpatient/Outpatient hospital, Pediatric, Orthopedic, Aquatic)
Other Experience: Tennis instructor (group classes and private lessons) and Research Assistant in a Neuroscience of Dance Lab
Application Submitted: 09/07/2016

Find a good list of grad school questions and practice. A lot. The interviews move super fast, so you need to have some go-to stories that you're able to draw on so you don't waste time wondering why you can't remember a single ethical dilemma you've ever faced. ;) Dress professional. Also, it's a long day, and you need to be "on" the whole time, even though your interview is a relatively short part of it.

Has anyone else been offered a seat who has already interviewed? If so when was your interview?

I interviewed 1/17 and haven't heard a peep yet. They have until the 31 though.

Try checking your WesternU banner, not sure if they update that to show whether you have been accepted
