The Augustana DPT program uses a rolling admissions format. The DPT Admissions Committee reviews completed applications (i.e., application and all supporting materials received) in the order of receipt as they are submitted. Applicants will be notified of their status (Admit, Waitlist, Deny) within 60 days of application submission. 

The planned size for each class is set at 100 students per cohort,and enrollment is targeted to be within ten percent of the planned class size. Once 100 students have been accepted into a cohort, other applicants meeting admission criteria and recommended for acceptance are added to a waitlist. If seats become available, the Admissions Committee will use the waitlist to offer admission to rank-ordered applicants. These procedures allow for the maintenance of planned class size while also preventing over-enrollment.

Applications will be scored based on multiple criteria that includes academic and life experience factors : Application Rubric.
