I believe killainmanila is not being very truthful. Erika said we will be hearing back via email/USA portal. For him to say he got a call on Monday is a lie I believe. He definitely got me worried, but I don't think they have let anybody know yet so we can relax a tiny bit.
I applied mid May right before my vacation. I called them around late May/early June, confirming that they received my application. I received a call a little over a month later from San Marcos to schedule an interview, originally for the August 2nd group. However, they asked me if I'd be interested in starting earlier... like next month earlier, so I opted for an earlier interview. I ended up going this past Monday.
I honestly didn't keep track of my stats when I sent it in but these are my rough estimates.
BS in Kinesiology 2.8?
Prereq GPA 3.8?
GRE 154 V 158 Q 3.5 writing?
2 years working as a physical therapy aide (3000+ hours, but I think I only logged 800 hours of it)
I believe in terms of numbers, as long as you make the minimum, they will consider you. Judging by the numbers I've seen on this website recently, my specs are quite average. What makes the difference are your references, the essays, resume, etc.
Also, I applied to the FLEX program which is MUCH less competitive. They still have a lot of openings for this upcoming Fall session in San Marcos. (Only around 15 out of 25 slots are filled for Fall so far. I think the semester prior was 9 out of 25.)
By the way, accusing someone of lying is not cool. I may have been contacted earlier than other people because of numerous things: my application was sent in early, processed basically when everyone else was just getting theirs submitted, AND I am perhaps being considered as a late entry into the Fall program.
Aaaand I'm a girl
