EDIT: *Actually, this is a silly question as I realize that the program can only accept so many applicants. The better question is: Is it extremely typical for most colleges to receive an overload of applications?*
I'm wondering because I was doing some research on schools and came across this page: http://www.midwestern.edu/programs-and-admission/az-physical-therapy.html
Look at the admissions acceptance part on the third section down. Now to my knowledge this isn't a particularly special school, considering the average accepted GPA is 3.48. And yet TWELVE percent of applicants were accepted, and only SIX percent joined the program? Holy smokes.
Now obviously this is a problem with too many applicants...but is this typical of most programs? Seems a little crazy if you ask me. At any rate, my transcript is nothing particularly special as of right now. So I plan on improving it and doing all the things I should do. On top of that, when I go to apply to colleges in the next couple years or so, I'm planning on narrowing my college list down to about 10 colleges...all of which I will probably apply to to be safe.
Your thoughts?
