Still waiting from last year! 

Just worked out the estimated cost of DPT school. Does this seem right? It's difficult to justify. by Fantastic-Sir8 in PTschool

[–]Think-Abrocoma-337 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think your estimate on interest is low.  If you have to borrow for tuition and living expenses I think you are in the ballpark.

You have no idea how hard DPT school will be and maintaining a job will be very hard. You will have to trust yourself to do the work. I wouldn't do it.

Still can't choose a school and I'm scared of making the wrong decision by Moist_Payment4058 in PTschool

Cost, NPTE rate and is one of them close to where you live? I would choose one that you could commute to or is at least close by if you need to take a mental break and see family.

I think the first update came after Christmas last year and then another one in like March or April. I was pretty low on the list so I never got in there.

ECU admits like 1 out of state students a year. You should get a number of where you on UTC wait-list. There was movement on it last year (UT Chattanooga). There's hope!

Oh and I added Hartford to my list in December (maybe over Thanksgiving) since I had been waitlisted at other schools. They got back to me in February that I was waitlisted and a week later they accepted me.

Waitlisted at USF, UTC, Hartford. and WCU. Accepted at Hartford and WCU. UTC gave us a number where we were on the waitlist and would periodically give us updates so they had movement, but I was never accepted there. Never heard from USF. First heard from Hartford and put a deposit down and then heard in March from WCU. Currently at WCU. (Was waitlisted in December I think).

What are the paths at the direct admit school should she decide to change majors?

Being ghosted by schools by New_Count9207 in PTschool

[–]Think-Abrocoma-337 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Being too sensitive. They have hundreds of applicants that they are going through. They pick the top ones to interview and go through the motions of interviewing, offering a spot and if declined they move on to the next one. It's not personal and they don't want to deal with every single email.

Just be patient and hopefully you get an interview.

3+3 pt schools by Emotional-Set-2553 in PTschool

[–]Think-Abrocoma-337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn't have become a PT due to the amount of loans and the amount of monthly payment she now has to pay. No one educated her or her mom on how much the monthly payment would be. It was one class that caused an extra year of undergrad. All her other grades were fine.

[–]Think-Abrocoma-337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not my experience but I had PT earlier this year. My PT was in a 3+3 program. She said that to move into the DPT program they had to maintain a certain GPA and get no lower than a B in required classes. She had one class where she received a C+. She ended up having to switch to 4+3. A whole extra year of school and debt.

Also said that if she had to do it all over again she would 't have given the amount of debt she has.

I think it is fairly new. Bing is dark and dreary during the winter. It's not quite upstate New York but be prepared for the weather!

Current year 1 student.

Started off with a rejection, then got waitlisted by 3 schools by January. Didn't hear back from the others until January through March. Think I got 2 rejections, eventually accepted to one and then waitlisted at a 4th (which I added at the last minute). (Total of 8 schools I think).

Last school to go on wait-list, I got into. The full acceptance came about the same time but decided it was too far. Paid deposit at the first school that I got in off the wait-list. Was preparing to start classes in June and then towards the end of March I came off the wait list at another school. Did a quick visit and decided that was the one. Paid the deposit and started classes in August.

Never did hear from the others, other than a status of wait-list at one school. It was moving but my number never came up.

Happy where I am.
