What to Expect
- After an application has been submitted, it can take four to five weeks for PTCAS to verify the application.
- It is the applicant’s responsibility to ensure that their application gets verified by PTCAS. The application will not be considered “received” by the Duke DPT Admissions Committee until it has been verified by PTCAS.
- Duke DPT operates under a rolling admissions process, meaning we begin reviewing applications when the cycle opens and our admissions cycle is not closed until the class is full.
- We recommend you apply as early as possible.
