I decided to apply to 6 different DPT schools and have been surprised by the results of each. I'm from the west coast so I applied to mostly west coast schools. The one exception was applying to Boston University as my "fun school," not expecting to be accepted based upon it's ranking. To my surprise, my in-state school waitlisted me which was my "safety school" while I was accepted to Boston. I'm either waitlisted or waiting to hear back from the other four schools, but these two surprised me the most and I'm trying to make sense of them. I'm a bit worried more than anything because of the price of Boston.
Have any of you experienced a similar situation? Would you recommend to future applicants to apply in a similar fashion? Any thoughts on the difficulties of getting into your in-state school? You always read, "only apply to schools you would attend" but I can't say I was expecting this situation.
