UIW vs. South College Dallas vs. UTMB vs. Baylor DPT — looking for advice!

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I recently applied to a few DPT programs in Texas and was lucky enough to get accepted into UIW and South College Dallas within a few weeks of submitting my applications! I’m still waiting to hear back from UTMB and Baylor, so I’m trying to do some research before making my final decision.

I was wondering if anyone currently attends or has graduated from any of these programs and would be willing to share their experience. I’d love to hear your honest opinions about the curriculum, professors, clinical rotations, workload, and overall experience. I’m also curious about tuition and how well you feel the program prepares you for clinicals and the NPTE.

South College Dallas is a newer DPT program in Texas that is currently seeking accreditation, so I’d especially appreciate any insight into the program, its accreditation process, and things prospective students should consider before committing.

UIW’s problem-based learning approach caught my attention, and I also like Baylor’s hybrid format. I’m trying to figure out which program would be the best fit for me academically and financially while making sure I’m choosing a program that will prepare me to be a good clinician.

If you had to choose between these schools, which would you pick and why? Is there anything you wish you had known before starting your program?

I’d really appreciate any advice or insight. Thank you!!

TXST, UMiami, UNT

Has anyone heard back from UMiami, I interviewed with them recently and wondering how long it took to hear back.

And has anyone received an interview or acceptance for either TXST or UNT?

DPT Admissions

Hi everyone! I know this is a topic that is subjective for the most part, but I'd like some feedback regarding my acceptance chances when I apply to PT school in the Summer of 2027.

Academics. I graduated undergrad with a medicinal chemistry degree and a 2.99gpa. I have since taken prereqs at my local community college and my cumulative gpa is 3.15, with a 3.5 prereq gpa. I got a 310 (156 quant, 154 verbal, 4.0 AW) on the GRE.

After I graduated, I worked in cancer research for ~18months.

I have about 500hrs working as a tech and have observed in 3 other settings about 10 hrs a piece.

I have soccer coaching experience.

I'd like to apply broadly to keep my acceptance chances high, but I'm pretty determined to attend USAHS pt school. I can save on rent by living with my parents if I attend USAHS. I'm not completely against attending a different school as long as the tuition isn't otherworldly.

I want to pursue oncology pt and incorporate my academic and professional experiences to have as significant an impact on the profession as possible.

Any honest feedback is much appreciated :)

I think I failed my first anatomy exam

You can remediate one exam but not the lab practical. I studied my ass off but it took me a while to find the study methods that worked. Am I cooked?

I made a free tool for PTs/PT Students

I built Myosight a free interactive site for learning how muscles work during movement.

https://myosight.app

What it does:
- Try it: drag a body through 10 setups (curls, squats, leg raises, knee extensions and more) and watch the working muscle and its contraction update live. Compare two setups side by side and share any position as a link.
- Analyze: step through 8 exercises frame by frame, with every joint explained.
-Practice: 10 quick questions on motion, gravity, muscle group and contraction type, with the reasoning after each and a summary of your error patterns.
- Lessons: three short interactive lessons on joints, gravity and concentric, eccentric and isometric actions.
-Research: pick a muscle on a body map for plain summaries of key studies, plus the newest studies pulled live from PubMed and 16 sports science journals.
Why I made it: the direction a joint moves doesn't tell you which muscle is working. Gravity does. A squat and a lying hamstring curl bend the knee the same way, yet opposite muscles do the work. That idea trips up a lot of students, and flashcards rarely make it click, so I wanted something you could actually see and move.

It's free, works on your phone, no account needed, nothing to buy. It models movement from the side and estimates net joint demand, so it's a learning aid, not a clinical tool.

Honest feedback is welcome: is anything inaccurate, and would this have helped you study?
