Anyone received update on their wait list status from MGHIHP DPT 2017.
I kind of feel like they only accepted the 70 people for the program instead of going over. I just feel like its different than undergrad where they will accept a bunch of people into a program and hope not everyone accepts. I know that was the problem at my school becuase we have DPT program and for my class they accepted to many my freshman year and are now screwed because not enough people have failed out or dropped out yet so they couldn't accept anyone off of PTCAS applications for this year. I could totally be wrong about all of this just feel like their playing mind games.They probably accepted a lot of students knowing some would reject due to other acceptances or the cost of the program. I'm also on the waitlist and received the email about remaining on the waitlist.
If I remember correctly from the info session, Dr. Levangie mentioned they did take a handful of people from the wait list last year...10-11 or something along those lines...I kind of feel like they only accepted the 70 people for the program instead of going over.

I actually called them yesterday but got basically no where haha just that they started going through the waitlist and that they understand that it is a difficult waiting process. So basically just keep waiting and hoping to hear back soon
They didn't give a number and when I asked they said they don't really have a ranking list. Just said that they started going through the waitlist by means of like reviewing and looking to see who they want to ask. I'm pretty sure they have like some sort of ranking list but who knows the whole process is just confusing and stressful.When you say they went through the waitlist, did they go through the number of applicants on the list or give you a certain number that you are off of that list?
Twotired, would you mind sharing your stats??? MGH is my top choice and I've been going crazy hoping for a call...
Hey, my stats can be found in my history in the stickied megathread. Honestly they're mediocre and nothing to write home about.
What I think greatly improved my chances of getting off the waitlist was writing a letter of interest. On the same day decisions were released and I found out about my waitlist status, I emailed the admissions director and the DPT adcom reiterating my interest in their program. Letters of interest are common for law school applicants who get waitlisted and I figured it would benefit me in this case. I thanked them for reviewing my file, highlighted why I would be an asset to the incoming class, and reemphasized my interest in attending.
I can't say I know what their decision making process was but I was offered a seat. The unfortunate case for me though is that I can't afford to pay for the program out of pocket. I was hoping for some type of award/grant to offset the high tuition cost. I've given up my seat, hopefully this means good news for someone here!
I'll be attending Simmons College w/ a merit award.
Haven't heard a thing since they asked if we still wanted to be kept on the waitlistAnybody else got any update from MGH? still waiting
Same here....hopefully we hear back soonAnybody else got any update from MGH? still waiting
Anyone hear anything? It's getting hard to keep the hope alive
I just wish they gave more information or kept us up to date with everything.Nope
I agree. Most schools at least let you know your rank in the waitlist. It's so frustrating. Losing more and more hope as the days go by....I just wish they gave more information or kept us up to date with everything.
Its so frustrating knowing I'm graduating in just over a month with my degree being in Sports Biology (pre-med) and with that I can't get a job unless I get into grad school.I agree.

I totally understand how you're feeling. I graduated last May. This is my second time applying.Its so frustrating knowing I'm graduating in just over a month with my degree being in Sports Biology (pre-med) and with that I can't get a job unless I get into grad school.

Congrats! Did they still offer financial aid?I was accepted last week after being on the waitlist. There is still hope!

How did they notify you?
I haven't heard anything back yet.Has anyone heard anything recently? Anyone else get off the waitlist?
I know it's a long shot since this is from a year ago.. but did you ever send a letter of interest? and if so did you get into MGH?Thanks for the feedback, I'll definitely reach out to them expressing my interest. And congrats to you on your merit award and best of luck at Simmons!
I am in the same boat, I really want to get in but it’s May now and I am losing hope
Have you spoken at all to admissions?
I was accepted somewhere else but still holding out for MGH.. I know its foolish
Congratulations!!!!!! This wait is excruciating.. And ive been told that some people have been released from their waitlist today and yesterday.... So since i havent heard anytging hopefully that is good for me? Im trying to be optimistic!I was accepted off the waitlist yesterday! It’s possible!
Thank you!! And yeah I heard they release the people that probably won’t have a chance to be pulled off. Since you didn’t hear, there’s hope!Congratulations!!!!!! This wait is excruciating..
