The holistic review used by ßÙßÇÂþ»'s Division of Physical Therapy considers applicants’ experiences, attributes and academic metrics to evaluate the whole applicant, rather than disproportionately focusing on any one factor.
Aligned with the division's mission, holistic review assesses an applicant’s unique experiences, values and attributes alongside traditional measures of academic achievement. It places academic measures in the context of the applicant’s life experiences, focusing on overcoming adversities, facing challenges, encountering advantages and opportunities, and the applicant's demonstrated resilience in the face of difficult circumstances.
It helps the division consider a broad range of factors reflecting applicants' academic readiness, contribution to the incoming class and potential for success both in school and later as a physical therapist.
