Is there anyone who applied to the USC DPT program for cycle 2027?
I submitted my application on July 1, and it was verified on July 8. I haven't received any confirmation email from them, and I just wanted to see if anyone has had the same experience.

Hey! I’m applying this PTCAS cycle and was curious if previous applicants have website recommendations for grammar checking? I have a habit of writing more than the recommended word limit and then I struggle when cutting down my writing… and sometimes my sentences/punctuations could be better. Just looking for any tools / tips since I’ve seen others recommending AI but I don’t want to risk getting flagged for my writing. Thanks so much!

So this is a complicated situation I’m going to try and explain all of the details the best I can. I am a 1st year student who was recommended deceleration after not meeting GPA standard which is 3.0 similar to many universities. I got an email this past semester about having to get my gpa above the 3.0 or this is it. The classes I have retaken do not replace my original grades. I have only had to retake courses I got less than a B in which is only 3. It’s looking like my overall GPA after this semester will be a 2.98 which is so close. I’m not looking for sympathy I understand this is a result of my own short comings. So what should I do and do you think they would dismiss me with a 2.98? I appreciate the advice.
