Mount Student Preferential Admission Process

• Applicants who fulfill the above criteria as Mount students will automatically receive an invitation to participate in the Interview process
• Mount preferential acceptance into the DPT program will occur prior to General admission acceptance
• Up to 12 Mount students may be accepted through the preferential admission process, (approximately one-third of an entering class). In the event that there are more than 12 qualified Mount applicants, the top 12 students will be offered preferential admission.
• Individuals not awarded preferential admission will be placed in the general admission pool and their applications ranked accordingly.  Those who score above the cutoff for general admission will be invited to enroll at that time.
