Who Are We?
We are two 3rd year physical therapy students at NYU. We are an independent, minority run page. Our team is passionate about helping current and future physical therapy students manage and understand the process of applying and attending physical therapy school. Just 3 short years ago, we were going through this same process and we know it is overwhelming and stressful and we want to provide as much insight to the process as possible.
On our team is 2 current PT students who applied, interviewed, and were accepted to several DPT programs across the United States including:
- New York University
- Washington University in St. Louis
- University of Wisconsin – Madison
- George Washington University
- Bellarmine University
- Missouri State University
- New York Medical College
- Drexel University
- Simmons College
- University of Colorado
- University of Illinois – Chicago
- Regis University.
In addition, our team has experience volunteering for the interview process of their DPT Program. Because of this, we have a unique perspective on interviews and what DPT programs are looking for in a candidate.
Also a member of our team is an experienced writer and editor, who will be working to support you in preparing application and interview material for DPT programs and beyond.
With our diverse and experienced team, we are confident that you will be prepared to excel in your application process.
Our Team:
Lexi E.
Student Physical Therapist, Certified Rock Steady Boxing
Hi friends! My name is Lexi. I’m a 3rd year DPT Student at NYU and I am so excited to share my journey to PT with you! Originally from St. Louis, MO, I got my Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science from Southern Illinois University – Edwardsville. During my time at SIUE I was involved in several large leadership positions and attended multiple workshops and conferences focused in leadership and interview skills. I have a real passion for fitness and exercise. In my free time, I practice Tae Kwon Do and love going to the gym with my best friend, Haley.
I serve as a class representative for my cohort, and I am a Certified Rock Steady Boxing Clinician. I can’t wait to share my story and I hope you decide to stick around to learn and grow with me.
Why did Lexi Choose Physical Therapy?
“I chose Physical Therapy because it combines my passion for exercise and my love for helping others. I am specifically interested in exploring healthcare disparities both in the physical therapy field as well as the healthcare field in general.”
– Lexi E., SPT
Haley W.
Student Physical Therapist, CSCS, Certified Rock Steady Boxing
Hey y’all! My name is Haley. I’m so happy you stopped by our page! Currently, I’m a 3rd year physical therapy student at NYU, and a class rep for my cohort. I am a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS), as well as a Rock Steady Boxing Certified Clinician. I flew all the way across the country from a small county in Los Angelos, California. In 2019 I received my Bachelors of Science from University of California – Irvine, where I majored in Exercise Science and Physiology. I grew passionate for physical therapy after witnessing one of my closest friends tear her ACL, and watching her throughout her recovery process. I’m so excited to share this journey, and I hope to see you join us along for the ride!
Why did Haley Choose Physical Therapy?
“I choose Physical Therapy because I knew I wanted to take on a hands on approach to healthcare. I want to establish a personal connection with patients and help them achieve their goals through exercise!”
– Haley W., SPT, CSCS
