"I assure you, Pathway to DPT is a great resource for all aspiring students of physical therapy. Rachael has truly been a fundamental part of my journey that has led me to PT school. I first came across the Pathway to DPT page when Rachael was doing her webinar series. The “Why PT” webinar caught my interest and I decided to attend. It gave a great deal of information in regard to one’s purpose in any field, but specifically physical therapy. This webinar was the snowball effect that initiated the purpose behind my main essay on PTCAS. After I completed my main essay, I felt relatively confident. However, how confident can you be when you’re applying to physical therapy school for the first time ever and want to get accepted more than anything? I reached out to Rachael to embark on a one-on-one zoom session to discuss my essay. Rachael gave compliments and critiques that only made my paper stronger. There is nothing more nerve wracking than hitting the submit button, but it all feels worthwhile when a school invites you to an interview. I luckily am an active participant on the Pathway to DPT instagram page. Rachael was doing a free mock interview give away and I won! This was just days before my first interview with my dream school. The mock interview was a great experience and fantastic practice, so much so I decided to do another mock interview with Rachael. She did research on each school I was interviewing. This gave me an inside look on what the interview may look like. I was fortunate enough to get accepted into my top two DPT programs. Then came the challenging part of deciding which I would attend. Rachael volunteered her time to help me by talking through each option. Overall, Pathway to DPT has been a vital part of my journey to start PT and I am immensely grateful for all of Rachael’s help."

"I highly recommend pre-PT students to use Pathway of DPT as a resource! In the two mock interview coaching calls I had with Rachael, she helped me prepare my thoughts and gain confidence with my answers. Rachael was very supportive throughout our talks and gave great suggestions to make my responses unique. As an international student, I encountered many difficulties preparing for PT school, and I was not confident with my accent during interviews. Rachael helped me connect my experiences and challenges in my PT school journey to my interview questions, and I got accepted by two schools thanks to Rachael's help!"

Pre-PT student from University of Pittsburgh
"Pathway to DPT was an extremely valuable resource for me while I applied to PT schools. I had a very unique path, and was uncertain how this would impact my applications. From the very first coaching call I had with Rachael, it was clear that she was very knowledgeable, and passionate about helping me. She helped me figure out the next steps I needed to take to be prepared for when applications opened. Rachael assisted with my main essay, which was a tremendous help to me and her advice made a big difference. I loved that Rachael gave suggestions for edits in the essay and then talked through them with me so that I could make my own decision on whether or not I wanted that particular edit to be included. I also decided to attend the “Why PT?” Web Series, and I’m very glad I did. Rachael had great suggestions to help me craft my own “Why PT?” as well as implement it into my essays. I am truly grateful to Rachael for all the help she has given me with my applications. I gained so much more confidence each time I talked with Rachael, and I am so glad I reached out to her during this process. I was accepted into my dream PT school, and I can’t thank Rachael enough for all the amazing resources and support she has provided."

Pre-PT student from Carroll University
"I cannot thank Rachael enough for being such an amazing and helpful coach throughout my entire PT school application journey. She helped me tremendously with my essays, which I believe were one of the factors of my application that enabled me to receive interview offers and acceptances to the programs. Rachael also helped me prepare for my interviews, giving me important tips and advices that boosted my confidence and prepared me well for the interview days. From the three DPT programs that I applied to, I can happily say that I got two interview offers and two acceptances so far. I definitely recommend Pathway to DPT to any pre-PT students willing to put in the work with an incredible coach and experience a successful journey."
Thatiana C.
Pre-PT student from University of Houston
"Pathway to DPT is an excellent resource for any pre-PT student. Rachael is really kind and genuinely cares about helping others achieve their dreams of being accepted to PT school. During our video calls Rachael helped ease my nerves about my upcoming interview by speaking with me about what to expect on the big day, asking me sample interview questions, and teaching me how to respond to questions in a way that truly reflected on my experience and passion for physical therapy. After working together I had a major boost in my confidence and felt well prepared for my DPT interview. I highly recommend working with Rachael and Pathway to DPT!"
Brianna P.
Pre-PT student from Texas State Univeristy
"Rachael helped me realize that I really need to dive deep and reflect on the value I gained from my experiences leading up to applying to PT school. I like how we discussed my responses to each question one-by-one so we could hammer down the fine details. Although this was a mock interview session, this realization will definitely transfer over to strengthening my PTCAS essay."

Frequently Asked Questions
Prior to meeting, you will send me a draft of your personal essay at least 48 hours in advance so I can read and provide comments to the essay. During our 30 minute call, we will go over your content and message, flow and organization, and overall effectiveness of the essay to scale it from a 5 to a 10!
Essays are never finished with one proofreading round of edits, so I would highly suggest signing up for at least 2 calls so we can work through the initial comments the first time and then perfect all the small details during the second essay feedback session.
It is never too early to start practicing for interviews!
During the mock interview, we will video chat via Google Hangout and practice with real interview questions that were asked during my PT interview. We will go over about 5-10 questions in the mock interview and at the end I will provide you feedback on areas to work on as well as highlight your strengths. We can also discuss what action steps you may want to take to prepare for interview day and to make you feel confident when answering any question the interview panel may ask.
Mentor coaching calls are great for pre-PT students who are not quite sure if they are on the correct pathway for success! Whether you are 1-4 years out from applying, choosing to take a gap year, or applying now and want some reassurance regarding what you have done so far to be a competitive applicant for PT school, the mentor calls are heart to heart talks where we enhance your achievements and discuss ways to improve your pre-PT resume!
In our 30 minute mentor coaching call, I am here to be your guide to keep you on track and allow you to take leaps ahead of other pre-PTs. With multiple methods to make you a competitive applicant for PT school, you cannot go wrong with at least 1 mentor call to ensure you have everything you need and more for PT school!
Once you purchase your sessions, you will be asked to fill out the Coaching Call Form and pick which type of calls you would like (essay feedback, mock interview, or mentor call). After you send me all of that information as well your availability in an email to [email protected], I will try my best to find a perfect date and time for us!
From there, please allow 48 hours for me to respond with a time that works best for the both of us and I will send you a Google Calendar invite with the Google Hangout link, which is the video messaging platform we will use.
This also means that if you are down to the wire with applying and want my assistance, please do not wait until the last day to ask for help. I need 48 hours in advance (especially with the essay feedback calls) to prepare, so I can provide you with the best advice in those 30 minutes together. If you wait until the last day and provide less than 48 hours of notice, than I cannot guarantee that I can schedule a call with you at at a time that works with your availability.
Please note: coaching calls are only good for 6 months from purchase.
Schedule your session today before your ideal date for the coaching call fills up.
The amount of sessions you needs varies from student to student! From my experience with being coached and coaching others, having 1 session may not be enough time to fully develop your essay, work through all the interview questions, or discuss all of your achievements and action steps for you to boost that resume.
I would recommend purchasing at least 2 sessions so we can start building that relationship and working together to improve your PT application! If you feel that 2, 30 minute calls are not enough time to share all your concerns and for us to work together, you can always feel free to purchase more sessions!
No matter what, my goal is to see you succeed! Seeing students reach their goal and being able to live their dream was the main driving force behind Pathway to DPT. My goal is to help you feel 100% confident in your application and to make you a competitive applicant that stands out from the thousands of other students applying for an acceptance at your top choice PT school!
The Coaching Call Form is a form that I request all my students fill out regardless of what type of coaching call they sign up for.
Once you purchase a coaching call package, you will be emailed the form as a word document.
If you cannot find the coaching form in your email, please send me an email requesting one and I would be more than happy to send it to you! Once you have the form, please fill it out and send it back to me with at least 48 hours prior to when you would like to have your coaching call. It is best if you take a few minutes to fill out the form and email it to me at [email protected] along with what type of coaching you would like and some potential dates you would like to have our call.
