Well, best of luck to you! I was notified via a phone call from Mrs. Clark. I applied early decision as well. My application was sent to Wingate around August 5th, but I don't believe they began officially reviewing applications until after the early decision deadline of August 15th.

Sounds good! I applied on the 15th. I already had every requirement needed, I was just nervous on the essay portion so I waited to submit my application. I’m just really nervous and I just can’t wait, the suspense is just so annoying. I just want to know if I got in or not. Hopefully I’ll be in the program with you.

Just got the acceptance call from Wingate! I'm waiting to hear back from several other schools before I put down my deposit. Anyone else planning on attending Wingate?

Hey! I also got an acceptance call this back week. I am waiting to finish more interviews and hear back from other schools as well. I am taking a tour early December to get a fill for the school! Does anybody have any information on the school other than what’s on the website?
Would you mind sharing your stats?!

I submitted my application around early August for early decision.
Early decision closed on August 15th.
I received my acceptance called August 28th.
So since I had to wait for ED to close before the review process because it took roughly two weeks for me.
I submitted my application on October 1st and heard back from them about a month later.
Your pre-req GPA is definitely very solid and would be above average for most programs. I would suggest retaking a couple of courses to get your overall GPA up if possible. I think you definitely have a shot at getting into PT school. There are also so many other factors the admissions committee considers that go beyond your GPA (essay, experiences, hours, etc).

Hi, I received my acceptance letter for Wingate a few weeks ago. I am about to submit my deposit while I wait to hear from an in-state school. Do you mind sharing your experience during the tour and whether you plan to attend?

Congrats on the acceptance! I will be attending Wingate for their 2021 cohort. Firstly the anatomy professor was truly an intelligent and personable individual. He not only helped students who were stuck but happily engaged in the cadaver work and was extremely hands-on with the material and the bodies. Everything was very hands-on and the student's talked to me about how the course style was very effective. A bonus of Wingate versus other programs is the fact that unlike other graduate programs, we have our own cadaver's just for us. That means we do not have to share with the OT program nor PA program which is different from other schools at least here in North Carolina. It gives a more realistic experience of the dissection without having to follow the lines already created by other students. Plus, Wingate recently partnered with Novant to allow for the PT students to take part in assisted surgical procedures with cadaver labs. I have never heard of another school doing that personally. When it came to the actual tour, the best part of it for me was the fact that the professor's actually cared. They cared about the well-being of the students and when asked what their goals with working at Wingate were, they answered it was to help the student's in this program thrive. So this fact, plus the fact that their certification exam passing rate is officially 100% really sealed the deal for me!
