The Waiting Game

Hey all,

I realize I haven't posted in a while, but the PT world has been pretty quiet for me. Here's where I stand so far:

AT Still University of Health Sciences

AZ - Application put on hold

Central Michigan University

MI- Still waiting; should be soon

Chatham University

PA- waitlisted; still hoping for a spot

Drexel

PA- rejected

Franklin Pierce University

NH

Concord Campus

NH- decided not to apply

Hampton University

VA- haven't heard anything!

Oakland University

MI- waiting; should hear in Feb.

Touro College

NY

Bay Shore (Long Island)

NY- accepted; paid $1,000 deposit to hold my seat

University of Maryland - Eastern Shore

MD- haven't heard anything

Wayne State University

MI- waiting; should hear in Feb.

I also decided to apply to the University of Illinois- Chicago and Grand Valley State University, but both programs have also rejected me.

It's been a tough road, but there is still lots of hope out there. I've been accepted to Touro College in NY. I am very excited to have an option. My only reservations with that school are mainly the costs associated. Not only is tuition more expensive, but cost of living in NY is a lot higher than I would like. Then there is always the money associated with traveling home. All things you have to consider when deciding on a grad school. I also have not visited the campus yet. I would have liked to get to know the program a little better before I committed with a deposit, but timing prevented that. I've heard good and bad things about the program, so we will see! In the meantime, keep your fingers crossed for me!
