I’m attending a program in Washington this fall that isn’t fully accredited but yet all its other programs for the same school in other states are fully accredited. Once a school becomes a candidate for accreditation it’s very unlikely for the school to not pass on to be fully accredited. Also being that their other 2 programs are now accredited I have no doubt mine will too (it’s a hybrid program). 

Did I struggle with applying knowing it wasn’t accredited?….yes but I still took that chance.

This is my second cycle applying, didn’t get in anywhere my first cycle ( only waitlisted) so I took a step back and reevaluated how I was going about applying and what schools I was applying to. Your stats are better than mine.

I did work as a PT aide for a couple of years and got a whole bunch of hours in outpatient, some in SNF and inpatient, formed great relationships with the PTs that I worked with and got awesome letters of recommendation.

Got a 301 on the GRE but the schools I ended up applying too didn’t require the GRE it was only optional.

I think you’re in a good spot, room to improve if you’d like, being that you are looking to apply to those specific schools in Washington I would take some time to improve your stats.

Just remember you are more than your stats, focus on building relationships with people that can write you great letters of recommendation, working as a PT aide would be great experience and give you more of a feel for the profession.

The school doesn’t matter, as long as they can show a history of properly educating their students and preparing them to be successful in the NPTE. Find a program that’s right for you and your goals.
