A maximum of 10 students will be offered early admission and notified by December 1. Applicants interviewed but not selected for early admission would automatically be placed in the final general applicant pool. Selection of Applicants Fulfillment of the basic requirements does not guarantee admission. The Physical Therapy Admissions Committee selects the applicants it considers best qualified for the study and practice of the profession from the pool of applicants who are interviewed. Admission is based on course work, grade-point averages, GRE scores, experience and rationale, recommendations, and interviews.
Preference is given to residents of Iowa.
Nonresidents whose grade-point average is below 3.50 are discouraged from applying. A broad exposure to physical therapy in more than one clinical setting is recommended. A suggested minimum is 50-60 hours. Approximately 400 candidates apply for admission each year. The 36 students selected have strong experiential backgrounds and familiarity with physical therapy.
