Application Process & Specific Prerequisites

Application Process
- Complete and submit your PTCAS application. Note: Your application will be considered incomplete if there is missing information,
including GRE scores, and/or documentation by the published deadlines, and will not be processed due to the volume of applications received.
- Complete and submit your supplemental application once UTMB Enrollment Services receives and processes your PTCAS application. Applicants will also need to send payment. Once both are received, applicants will be given a UTMB ID number for access
to MyStar.
- The UTMB Department of Physical Therapy will notify all applicants via email when their applications have been received and when the admissions decision has been made. Please allow several weeks for processing.
- UTMB has a rolling admissions process; therefore, your application is open until you hear from us with a final decision. If you do not hear from us by December 1, please contact us 409-772-3068 or email utmbdptp@utmb.edu to inquire about the status of your application.
