I was just accepted to Widener a week ago and was wondering if anyone else was accepted too! It isn't my top choice, but I am waitlisted at two other schools and will be sending in my deposit to secure a seat 👍 😀 Anyone else going?

I too applied to Widener and am awaiting word. Does Widener do interviews?

I also have my Bachelor Degree in Communication Studies. I'm not sure if that's the same thing is Communications.

I was also accepted. No they do not do interviews. I am declining their offer.

should I call to see my status, but since I am a student attending would that be weird. 😕

Did your acceptance come through an email or a letter?

 

[cristoos]

240G - It never hurts to check in on your status!

Husker - my acceptance came through the mail

Congrats Cristoos and DPT21! Just wondering, when did you send in your PTCAS application for Widener?

 

[DPT21]

I submitted my application in early September.

Update got accepted to Univ of Maryland Eastern Shore, I have an interview with Utica College and I am on wait list for Thomas Jefferson.Hey Cristoos did you get word on any of your wait list schools becuase I really wanna how TJ does theirs

I loved the facility at Univ of Maryland Eastern Shore. They really had everything there.

 

[cristoos]

Nope haven't heard anything from them. Both said if anything happens it most likely won't be until March. It was Temple and Drexel so we'll see maybe since they're both in Philly I have a better chance of getting into one.

Yesterday I told both Temple and Widener I will not be attending their programs so hopefully that opens up a spot for one of you. I went with Jefferson.

 

[240G]

If I may ask why aren't you going

 

[DPT21]

I was accepted to both programs and I am hoping to turn down both programs aswell even though I put my deposit down for temple. Although temple is a very strong program, I didn't leave my interview feeling that there was something special and unique about the program. I can go into more detail in a PM if you want but I felt like there was a stronger atmosphere and opportunity for learning at other programs I interviewed at. As for Wiedner, I never visited the campus but have heard some not so great things about the nieghborhood and the program relative to other programs. These, however, are all subjective opinions. Both schools have excellent pass rates for boards and are relatively the same as far as tuiition is concerned (at least for in-state students) Hope any of that info helps!

 

[240G]

Yeah please send me a personal message of why you aren't choosing them and where you are going now thanks
