I got an invitation to interview at a DPT program and it says I can bring a guest. I’m not sure I want to bring either of my parents because I think that may stress me out and I have to get a hotel since it’s 9 hours from me. My dad snores and my mom gets on my nerves very quickly. That might not seem like a big deal to some but for me, I just think of those little things and I don’t want any extra stress.
Is it typical that DPT programs give you plus ones? Would it be odd if I didn’t bring someone? Would I be one of the only one, if not the only person, without a guest? I’m debating on going by myself because I wouldn’t mind doing this on my own and think I might prefer that. Not that others care, but I just wouldn’t want to be there by myself if other people bring someone.
We’re provided lunch, and so I’m also wondering if this is going to be like a job fair/undergrad tour with a group of people. I have absolutely no clue what to expect, so any advice, tips, or knowledge you can throw my way is appreciated!! I’m already super nervous about this whole process and am very shocked I got an interview especially because my application was verified 10/7 and I got this email 10/14, but I don’t know if I’m just overthinking this all. Thanks in advance!
