Applications to the UWM DPT program are reviewed in two phases.  The Early Priority Admission phase applies to all qualified applications received by August 17.  Applications undergo a holistic review, considering all factors from the application (GPA, GRE, letters of recommendation, essay responses, observation hours, leadership, and extra-curricular activities, etc.). 

Offers in the Early Priority Admission phase will be made by October 15. 

Qualified and verified applications received after August 17 will be considered in the Rolling Admission phase, depending on availability.

The firm application deadline is November 2, but applicants are encouraged to apply early as classes tend to fill in the Early Priority Admission phase. 

The program will retain a wait list for strong applicants that did not receive an offer. This list will be active until the class matriculates.

Summary of Important Dates:

Note:  To be considered eligible for review, an applicant should have no more than 2 outstanding prerequisites to complete. An applicant's intent to complete outstanding prerequisites should be reflected as "Planned" in the Coursework section.
