breanna__ Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Hello Everyone!! I'm going to apply this upcoming Fall 2015. I know it's a long application process and it's a really competitive program but I'm serious about it and wanted to speak with someone who is familiar with the process. I am just trying to make my application stand out because my overall gpa was a bit on the lower side initially (3.09 overall GPA) so I'm a little worried, and really trying to pull together as much as I can to make myself stand out. I didn't realize how much I wanted to be a PT until later on in my last 2 years at college and that's when I managed to do better in all my classes, since then it's been an upward trend. I have since graduated and I have about 4 pre-req classes to take at a community college to pull together and end my pre-req GPA with a 3.36-3.43, if all goes according to plan. I have done a number of volunteer hours at rehabilitation centers (cerebral palsy, TBI patients), rehabilitation hospitals, volunteered at an outpatient sports therapy clinic, been a TA for over a year (ongoing even though I don't attend that school), and I currently work in a PT clinic (at the front deskl/have assisted with my boss with his anatomy/biomech lectures in 2014). TL;DR: If your GPA was on the lower side, what did you do to make yourself stand out among those with higher GPAs? I want to make sure I'm doing enough to get noticed because I love what I do, I love volunteering and am hungry to learn more. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
