Hey everyone. I just wanted to let people who think they have no chance what so ever that there are alternatives. I am an intelligent person who simply did not care about my grades as an undergrad because I saw little purpose to my education; if I did not care about my classes I simply did not attend. If I found the course interesting I earned an A. This resulted in a lot of A's and some not so A grades.
I've done a lot of growing up since discovering that OT was what I want to do with my life. I have shadowed approx. 90 hours so far and I am involved in a lot of volunteer work in my community, I've taken over 70 credit hours of pre-reqs and supporting courses and I have nearly a 3.8 GPA in those. I am applying to schools that look only at the last 60 credit hours or are willing to contextualize my poor undergrad record. I have a chance at getting in and I am optimistic.
I have also applied to a PsyD program with Argosy University Chicago as a backup.
So my question is what schools you have applied to??? What schools look at Post/Bachelor...I'm in the same boat. My gpa is a 2.83 but I'm taking Anatomy and Physiology 1 and 2, Basic Physics, Development Psychology, CNA course, 2 theology courses, and history course. I'm taking a lot of classes this summer. Please what's your advice on this. I applied to Creighton University Davenport University, Abilene Christian University, and some others. I've heard its hard to get into TWU. If I don't get in for 2014 cycle then I will apply to 15 schools next years and try to get an extra 60 hours of observation hours. I love when schools look at the entire application instead of the grades.Hey everyone. I just wanted to let people who think they have no chance what so ever that there are alternatives.
