How to apply to our DPT program

          Go online to the Graduate Center - Admissions Office for the application.
           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 has been revised to November 1^st.

Use the PT Prerequisite Checklist to guide you in keeping track of meeting our requirements. We also require applicants to submit this checklist (filled out) when you apply.

Also, look through the frequently asked questions.

Common mistakes made by applicants:

1.       Not reading the requirements for the clinical experience. At least 50 hours must be in a hospital or rehabilitation setting.

2.       All prerequisites, including earning a bachelor’s degree, must be completed before June 1^st.

3.       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.

4.       Don’t submit your documents after November 1^st. Incomplete applicant packets will result in you not being called in for an interview and if incomplete after November 1^st, you will probably be rejected even if you think you’re great.

5.       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.
