Program Prerequisite Entry
Hello, so I recently submitted my PTCAS application not too long ago and it finally got verified, however I realized that after looking through one of the downloaded applications for one school, I noticed that I accidentally entered in the wrong course for the Anatomy prerequisite. Is this going to affect me at all, or will it be fine since they still see all the courses that I have taken? (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Reporting GRE scores
Hi! so when I took the GRE I chose four schools to report my scores to, I’m curious if by choosing that option will it report directly into my PTCAS application. Or when filling out PTCAS do I still have to manually put in my scores? (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Help !!
Hi ! Im currently in the process of applying to PT school, and as I am sure you all know it is stress.

Ptcas gpa
Hey Guys,
So I submitted one of my applications for Emory University and the GPA that I graduated with is a 3.59 but PTCAS generated it to a 3.07. Anyone knows why this happens? I went to a community college for two years and my GPA was terrible it was like a 2.75. But then when I transferred to a University, I only got A's and B's and graduated cum laude with a 3.59. Can anyone explain? Will the school see my 3.07 and reject me Help Pleaseee
p.s I have 4000 hours of inpatient...

Does advanced imaging guide therapy
I’m a PMR/spine specialist and was curious if MRIs help you all when treating chronic neck and/ or low back pain? If so can you give specific examples of how it would guide your treatment plan in both the neck and low back.
Appreciate all that you do (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Advice for a DPT applicant (summer '24 application cycle)
Hey all!
I'm currently in the middle of my last year at college (at the University of Colorado Boulder) and I'm unsure of what to take in the spring. I am a slightly nontraditional applicant in the sense that I will graduate with a degree in Environmental Studies and a minor in Geography, I realized my interest in PT pretty late but made the switch and am almost done with my prerequisites. That said, between getting injured and needing to get surgery, working, and taking heavy course loads...

Dismissed from DPT program. Chances and Tips for getting into another program?
Hello everyone,
I was dismissed from my DPT program because of my mental health issues (Social Anxiety stemming from a birth defect). I tried to juggle bettering my mental health issues at the same time of being a DPT student, but I bit off more than I could chew and was dismissed from my program. I am taking a break to focus on my mental health issues and get to the point where my SA is managed and I learn to accept my appearance.
Once I feel like I am ready, I want to reapply for DPT...

Chances of admittance?
Hi all,
I am applying for the 2023-2024 cycle right now and I was hoping to hear from a couple of you about what you think my chances are. The main thing I am worried about is my observation hours as I am a D1 athlete who has not had that much time outside of sports and school to get hours. I am hoping to go straight through from undergrad to DPT.
I am applying to a bunch of programs but the main ones are Washington University in St. Louis, the University of Miami (got an interview...
