Our sixth cohort of Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) students began their doctoral education on Monday with a quick day of orientation that included several onboarding presentations regarding resources the University offers, expectations for the program and how technology will weave in with their didactic coursework. They also took campus tours to get to know their spaces, were fitted for their RMUoHP apparel, got to know their classmates through a Bingo socialization activity and were invited to bring their families to BBQ put on by the DPT faculty and staff.
These DPT students are always impressive, and this group is no different. The incoming cohort’s average cumulative GPA is 3.58, and its average prerequisite GPA is 3.53. They scored an average of 154 on the verbal section of the GRE, 153 on the Quantitative and 4 on the analytical section. The average age of the new cohort is 26 years old and the class is 68.5% male and 31.4% female. more than half of the cohort is from a state outside Utah, including students from Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Hawaii, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
They wasted no time getting to know one another, exploring the campus for study areas and beginning their studies. After their orientation day and BBQ, they began classes at 8AM on Tuesday morning and they are eager to embark on their journey to become Physical Therapists. Congratulations on making it this far, and welcome to RMUoHP!
