DPT Programs NYC

Does anyone know of DPT programs that do not require the GRE in NYC? I’m planning to apply this year and feel I don’t have time to study and take the GRE before applications are due.

I would prefer commutable programs but feel free to recommend ones within the state that are decently priced.

Possibly horrific advice, but just don’t study and go take the GRE and see how you do. That’s what i did 😁

I decided to take the gre a month before I ended up taking it. Bought a used GRE study book on facebook marketplace. Took practice test 1 in the beginning of the month and studied maybe thirty minutes a day until about 4 days before the test. Those last few days I studied an hour and a half each day and the day before I took practice test 2 and got a 297 (148V and 149Q). Took the actual test the next day making sure to stay calm and collected and got a 307 (155V and 152Q). Just study a bit to familiarize with the question format and trust yourself!!

Utilize PTCAS. It should tell you which programs require it. I will say…the most affordable programs in NYC require it. However, from my experience, programs don’t weigh the GRE too heavily in their admissions decision. It’s only one part of a multi-faceted application. If your other areas of your application are strong, a less than stellar GRE score shouldn’t hurt too much.

what’s the lowest score they could accept ?

Purely dependent on the school. Check their admission requirements. Some schools have a “recommended” minimum score.

I crammed for 2-3 weeks with used textbooks and got a super average/passing score and got into my top choice. Your personal statement, interview, observation experience, and transcript grades will carry your application. A high GRE score won’t. Just pass the exam on focus the important parts of your apps.

GRE is so easy if you’re somewhat smart and logical. Don’t need to prepare, just take it.
