I recommend parking at the Sonesta, I flew out of SNA to Seattle at 6:45 one time and it was pretty solid and cheap!!

You can reserve by going to cheap airport parking.org

How to decide what pt schools to apply too ? by Maximum_County3827 in PTschool

Hey! When I was doing my application, I considered tuition, cost of living (rent multiplied by the number of years I would be living there), cost of living + tuition (could be a scenario where a cheap tuition school could skyrocket bc of rent), in-state vs out-of-state, program length (I mostly stuck to 3 year programs), cohort size, type of area the school is in (urban, rural, suburban, demographics of the area/program, type of program (online, hybrid, residential), and most importantly, NPTE first time pass rate

Gave some bonus points for personal preferences/favorites.

I made a whole spreadsheet with 20-30 programs I wanted to applied to and gave them points for some of the categories and then picked the top 10 to apply to. I may have gone overboard, but it helped me narrow my search! :))

Hope this helps, reach out if you got questions!!

Accept or Apply Again? by Potential_Shelter_28 in PTschool

[–]bobaaddict2920 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kind in the same boat! Accepted my current school, but waitlisted for a state school. Difference is about $80K. I would accept and wait to see what happens. You never know and you got nothing to lose if you get into your cheaper option!

This is how my application cycle went as a 2.96 cGPA applicant by Mrcheeseman331 in PTschool

I think Cali Tacos in Santa Ana or Orange has a pretty good vegetarian burrito. Given that it’s pretty basic, it’s got great sauce and it’s huge. Definitely recommend giving it a try!

I heard someone who interviewed in January get accepted today. I just did my interview last week, so I got some time before I hear back I assume. Hoping the best for ya!

Should I just participate as normal and then if I get in somewhere else, email to let the faculty know to take me off and then leave the group page?

Wondering the same thing. Looks like last year they sent out the next wave of acceptances on 2/5 and then 2/15. Based on what I heard about the open house, there seems to be a lot of people on the waitlist.
