How To Apply
You can access the application online at the Graduate Center - Admissions Office website.
Apply for the Hunter College DPT for the summer semester. You may only apply to one Graduate Center DPT Program per year. Our application deadline is November 1st.
Use the Applicant Checklist to guide you in keeping track of meeting our requirements. We also require applicants to submit this checklist (filled out) when applying. We also suggest you read through our frequently asked questions before submitting your application.
Common mistakes made by applicants:
- Not reading all the requirements for the clinical experience. At least 50 hours must be in a hospital or rehabilitation setting. The deadline for completing all required clinical experience is November 1st.
- All course prerequisites, including earning a bachelor’s degree, must be completed before June 1st.
- If you’re undergraduate degree does not include many sciences and is not a Bachelor of Science, but a BA, BFA, or business degree, you must have completed most of the science prerequisites by the Fall semester before the program begins. We strongly judge your academic ability in the sciences, and require these grades.
- Don’t submit any supporting documents after November 1st. Incomplete application packets will result in you not being called in for an interview and if incomplete after November 1st, you will probably be rejected even if you think you’re great.
- Cumulative GPA must be at or above 3.00 to be seriously considered, with a science GPA above 3.0. We do examine the transcripts of every applicant, but to be competitive, GPA’s that are weaker are less competitive due to the high number of qualified applicants.
