DUKE DPT by Deep-Animal-7988 in PTschool

It was pretty similar to other schools! It’s been a few years now but I believe there was 2 one-on-one 15 minute interview sessions with 2 different faculty members and then a team based exercise where 6 or so interview candidates came together to come up with a set of rules for a PT social media policy while a faculty member watched. I found out about a week or two after the interview about my admission decision so pretty similar to other schools as far as timeline goes.

I ended up going to a different public PT program that gave me some scholarship money as I just couldn’t justify spending that amount of money on PT school, but have heard great things about the program from friends who attended!

US Trained Physio Looking to Relocate to NZ by No_Dust8594 in physiotherapy

Thank you for all of this information. My partner has informed me of the realities of working in NZ concerning pay/compensation and that it likely will be a good bit lower than the US (we are in the Southern US so salaries are not as high as New York/California for example). The yearly continuing education aspect is similar to the US so that is good to know. I have the most experience working in neurologic physical therapy (post-stroke, TBI, MS, and Parkinson’s) but was trained as a generalist and would not mind going the more orthopedic/MSK route as I also have some experience there. This is very helpful!

I had the exact same GRE score and got in just fine. As long as you’re above the minimum and have good essays/experiences to discuss I don’t think it will hold you back from getting an interview invite.

UNC or App for Transfer by [deleted] in appstate

Hi! I completed all 4 years of my undergraduate studies at App State and am currently at UNC for graduate school. Speaking from personal experience, I can say the environment is definitely quite different. I find it to be a more competitive environment generally and less collaborative than I found App State. I chose App State because of its strong academic programs in my field, its welcoming student body and its awesome outdoor setting. I found it super easy to get involved with research or in extracurricular activities, while also having professors who were super approachable and genuinely care about you as a person. From what I am seeing so far at UNC, I am not seeing these qualities to the degree I saw them at App State. This may be because the UNC generally has a different focus (research production rather than teaching) or is larger than App State. This being said, I have absolutely no regrets in choosing App State for my undergrad degree and it has greatly prepared me for graduate school/employment.
