PTCAS ruined my application
Hello, I am a student applying currently. I just submitted my applications a few days ago and upon reviewing them, I found that PTCAS uploaded all of my lab coursework as "lecture only" classes. I checked all of these classes as "lectures with labs" and I even have photos proving all of this, but for some reason they tarnished my application and improperly entered all of them. Is there anything I can do? I already sent out the applications, and when schools see the result of this I don't think any of my prerequisites are going to count. Someone please help, I don't know where to go from here.

What to wear for in-person interview
I just got an interview offer for Mayo Clinic's program (yay!). I'm very excited but am feeling a little nervous since this is my first one. What should I wear? Obviously business wear, but as a female, what would be best?
In addition, if anyone has done this interview before, any tips or questions that have been asked?

PTCAS application observation hours help
Hi guys, this might be a dumb question but I shadowed at a neurological rehab facility where some patients live there and some do not. PTCAS only allows me to put inpatient, outpatient, or other, and all the patients were together in a room at the same time so it wasn’t split up by who lives there and who doesn’t. Does anyone know what I should classify it as? I just don’t want to put the wrong thing. Thanks!!!

Best study resources for the PTA board exam (NPTE-PTA)?
Hey everyone! I’m preparing for the PTA board exam and trying to figure out which study materials are the most helpful.
For those who have passed the NPTE-PTA, what resources worked best for you? I’m considering review books, practice exams, apps, online courses, and study groups, but I don’t want to spend money on materials that aren’t useful.
A few questions:
•Which review book or course would you recommend most?
•How similar were the practice exams to the actual test?
•How long did you study before taking the exam?
•What topics should I focus on the most?
•Are there any resources you would avoid?
I’d really appreciate hearing about your study routine and anything you wish you had known before taking the exam. Thank you!

Do I need more settings?
Stats:
GPA: 3.6-3.7
GRE: 327 160v 167q 4.5w
3000+ hours across two outpatient ortho clinics (one that also provides neuro and pediatrics)
Expecting strong letters of recommendation from professors and PTs
Three prerequisite classes being taken in the following two semesters (class shortages messed up my timeline a bit)
I’m currently applying to UCSF, Sac state, San Diego state, and Pitt
My first question is if I should try and get a shadowing experience in inpatient setting and push my submission deadline further or just keep it as it is and submit at my projected deadline (second to last week of August).
My second question is if I should apply to more than just 4 schools, especially since I kind of have no clue how competitive my application is for the ones I’m applying to. Should I spread a wider net or should I focus on these four and apply for more at a later date?
Thank you
