I know a lot of people on this forum went to an interview on Feb 3rd! (I think) that was their last interview. They sent out an email saying they were meeting on Feb 21st to review applicants from the interview and would let us know towards the end of next week if we were accepted/rejected/waitlisted!
From what I was told from Recruitment and Admissions Associate, Pam Alphin, is that the Feb. 3rd interview was the last one. However, UNT seems to change the plans as they go so who knows.
Awesome! Which campus? And are you planning on accepting?
I got in too!!!Got accepted into UNTHSC!!!! I'll be clearing up a spot for someone on the waitlist at TWU Houston!!!
Yay!!!! I'm waiting for the email to make sure I didn't just make it all up lol

Just messaged you. Thanks again!
To be honest, I don't remember much either... I have no idea how many are on the waitlist. I feel like I had already checked out before this interview because my other interviews were all in October and November... so, UNT definitely was not my best interview.

I know...its been a trying time. Just glad to finally have found a home. Like I told some of the other forum members- Thank you so much for all the support. You and HopefulDPT012 really held me down haha. And thanks to everyone else as well!!
I called UTMB today and asked if their class was full yet, and the answer was, "Oh no, it's not."
omg thanks so much for sharing!
I JUST WANT TO KNOW UGH
Hi! Sorry you're feeling down, especially since I agree it seems your application is strong! Congrats on your ASU acceptance! I've learned more and more over the past few months how important early application was for getting interviews. Did you possibly wait until close to the deadlines to complete your applications? Because it seems that makes a huge difference. Good news is it's an easy fix if you're planning to wait and reapply!
Hey big time congrats on your ASU acceptance! If you're looking to figure out why you didn't get accepted into certain schools, the best thing to do in my opinion is to call the schools and ask to make an appointment with an advisor about your application. It was about this time of year when I did this last year, and almost every school was very helpful. Different schooos look at different things more heavily, so it helps to ask each school individually.
hey no problem!omg thanks so much for sharing!
That's awesome! Congrats! Are you going to accept or do you feel Texas State will still be your first choice? Again, Congrats!
First and foremost, CONGRATS on making it into ASU...I'll tell you like my parents always told me- they all don't have to like you... only one has to. You should be very proud of yourself for making it in during such a TOUGH and competitive application cycle. At the end of the day when you get an education and graduate it's not going to matter where you went. Aside from that you have great stats and a high GPA, as far as your application goes the only thing I can think of are your extracurriculars, lower end gre writing score, and maybe essays for the general application and essays for the individual schools. Some schools look for different things in certain candidates. For one I know UTEP takes a lot of stock in bringing in applicants from the el Paso area or from areas which are similar to that town. They prefer candidates who show the ability to work with diverse, minority populations and hope to bring in Applicants who they feel will stay in the region or contribute to the cause of helping minority, Hispanic populations. So in the essays you would like to demonstrate this, if not they may not prefer you above other applicants even if you have better stats. UNT has been another school which has significantly improved their standards, many qualified applicants are getting denials which is even mystifying me. It's strange because their profile on PTCAS lists average stats of accepted applicants and the ppl of this site getting declined have better stats so that is probably an effort on their part to get higher rated candidates. A big portion of the physical therapy coursework is writing reports so a school looking at the 3.0 writing may be worried despite your excellent grades. This may also correlate to the other sections of your application where you have to write. Also showing leadership and things like this are huge to some schools, so if you have great stats but then your essays or extracurriculars do not demonstrate leadership then you may be out of luck. Just some of the things I'm thinking may have affected your status with these schools. Overall, you've been accepted so don't linger on why other schools didn't pick you. Plus you still have other schools that did not reject you, so I'm assuming you're on the waitlists and those things are constantly moving. Just keep faith and stay positive knowing if all else fails you're already accepted. Bless
You did it, you did it!! Congrats
@outofdaloop Eeeek thank you guys!!!!! I've been making a pro/con list between UNT and Texas State... I am from Dallas and UNT is much closer to home (didn't think I wanted to be close to home but am re-thinking that)... and I felt so comfortable at Texas State! Both are such great schools. I'm going to take a day or two to think it over and I'll update y'all when I decide
This forum has been such an uplifting place for what can be such a daunting process!!! Thanks again for the support guys!thank you!!!!!
I am remembering that a lot right now.
