As the demand for physical therapists continues to grow, so too does the importance of student selection for their professional education programs. Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) programs have become competitive due to high application volume from increased projected job demand.

Using general linear regression and binary logistic regression models, the researcher analyzed data of participants’ (N = 116; N …
