Thanks! I apply early decision because Duke has a high acceptance rate of ED applicants. Also lots of schools encourage us to apply early. So I submitted my application as soon as I was ready, though transcript arrival and verification took much longer than I expected.Hey twptCLC,
Congratulations on your admission! Did you apply early or regular decision?
I applied regular decision and haven't heard anything yet, other than that they had all my materials and were passing them along to the admissions committee. I'm thinking it may be at least Dec-Jan before I hear anything, maybe later if it's a no.Hey has anyone heard anything for those who applied regular decision?
they just sent me an update saying my application is still under review and they could review until April!
they'll tell you if it's a waitlist. they're still reviewing all apps.Is this another way of saying wait list or that they just havent gotten through all of the applications yet?
Hi, I am an international student interested in applying for DPT too! It is very encouraging to see your post!Hi! I am an international student from Taiwan and I got accepted in Duke DPT c/o 2021. I would like to share my stats so as to encourage those with similar background. Also hoping to let my classmates know me better.
University: National Taiwan University (NTU)
Major: BS in physical therapy (transferred from the department of agronomy)
Overall GPA: 3.82 (calculated by World Education Services)
GRE: Q 169 V 151 AW 3.0 (English is not my native language so I tried to boost my score in quantitative)
Extracurricular & Experiences: Sport physical therapy service club for collegiate track and field athletes, Asia Physical Therapy Student Association Headquarter @ NTU, several court-side physical therapy service experiences for marathons and handball games, Research assistant in hospital, Field medic during compulsory military service, 2017 Taipei Universiade standby physical therapist, Violinist in college orchestra, Softball player (shortstop), Volunteer in a child development center for the blinds
Observation Hours: 1440 in 2 different hospitals in Taipei (out-patient and in-patient in orthopedics, neurological, cardiopulmonary and pediatrics), 480 oversea clinical placement in Hong Kong (university rehab clinic), all hours are done during my PT internship and verified by my clinical educators
Letters of Recommendation: 3 from professors who are also PTs and another from my supervisor when I was a research assistant, who is a retired physiatrist as well as an emeritus professor
With my background I had been considering post-professional programs (transitional-DPT) but later determined to pursue an entry-level degree because I knew there are gaps and differences in education and training methods between Taiwan and the United States. Although passing my license exam in my country, I still cannot practice via direct access due to medical law restriction. According to an alumnus graduated from my school who got his DPT degree in Northwestern, a few decent schools would not consider students with PT background to their entry-level DPT programs. So I am just extremely glad that Duke is willing to offer me admission!
Hope that helps and good luck with the application journey!
Thank you! If there is anything I can help with your application I am more than happy to do so. Feel free to PM me and good luck!Hi, I am an international student interested in applying for DPT too! It is very encouraging to see your post!
I also got that email, but haven’t gotten anything yet. To anyone who was accepted, what is/was the deadline to accept? I’m guessing we’ll get an email after thatHas anyone who applied regular decision heard back yet? I got that "still under review" email in early December, but nothing since then.
Jan 12 is when deposits are due. But that's just for first wave of applicants. I'm sure once people decline their offer of admission, the next applications will receive offers of admission and I'm assuming will have 2 weeks to send in deposit since that seems like magic number from most schools.
Good to know--thanks! Have you been accepted already or did the school tell you this?Jan 12 is Duke's deadline, not the recommended one from PTCAS.
Yeah I've been accepted already. They want their deposit by Friday.Good to know--thanks! Have you been accepted already or did the school tell you this?
Thats awesome--congrats!! Do you know how many people they accepted in this wave? I'm going there for a tour on Friday, but it would be really great to hear back from them next weekY

I know this doesn’t answer your question, but in terms of people that have accepted admission the class is about halfway full according to the Facebook group we made ourselves (41 members)Thats awesome--congrats!!

That is helpful, thank you! I know the admissions committee meets 1-2x per month, so hopefully they will send out more decisions this week or next after seeing results from the 1/12 deadline.I know this doesn’t answer your question, but in terms of people that have accepted admission the class is about halfway full according to the Facebook group we made ourselves (41 members)
