Did you answer the essay questions?

Ensure you actually respond to the question! Avoid going off on a tangent about your accomplishments without addressing what’s being asked. There are many places in the application to highlight your achievements, so focus on directly answering the question.

Did you check for grammatical and spelling errors?

Use available tools to ensure your essays are grammatically correct and free of spelling errors. Accuracy matters!

Is your application reflective of who you are?

Applying to PT school is competitive, and it’s crucial that your application accurately represents you. Highlight your unique experiences and achievements where appropriate. Remember, the goal is to make a strong impression on paper to secure an interview, where you can further showcase who you are.

Exceed Three, Inc. is a nonprofit focused on developing and servicing Georgia pre-baccalaureate and baccalaureate African American students in their preparation for applying to physical therapy school.

Per the Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education (CAPTE), the percentage of African American student admitted to physical therapy programs nationwide has averaged around 3% from 2012 to 2020. With the surge in DEI interest, many institutions, include APTA, have expressed interest in increasing the number of applicants to PT programs; however, this only begins to address the disparities present.

Our vision at Exceed Three, Inc. is to begin growing diversity in the profession of physical therapy by increasing the number of African Americans enrolled and graduating from physical therapy programs, and ultimately, improving community health and wellness for African Americans across the state of Georgia.

At Exceed Three, Inc. we offer students the opportunity to improve interview and writing skills, join a sense of community with access to mentorship, take part in a foundational anatomy and kinesiology course, and funds for applications and matriculation fees. Any donations provided, big or small, will assist African American students with fees, supplies and course materials.
