Hey guys,
I tried searching for a topic like this but I couldn't find one. I've also been searching the whole internet but haven't found anything there either. So this is my situation:
I go to UCSD, I transferred here from UCSC. Since coming to UCSD my gpa has been slowly dropping each quarter because I've been taking difficult upper division science classes (I'm a Physiology & Neuroscience major). My GPA when I transferred was 3.47 and after this quarter it will most likely be down to about 3.15.
I've gotten two D's (one in Organic Chemistry II and one in Molecular Biology) and an F in a summer community college course that I feel I have a decent reason for. My best friend since freshman year of high school in in the Army and he was in town during the summer before being deployed for Afghanistan. The final of the course happened to be during the two weeks that he was in town, so I didn't study enough because I was distracted. It could've been the last time I get to see him if god forbid he dies over there.
At this point I'm worried about how this will affect my chances of getting into PT school. I'm a 4th year right now but will most likely finish at UCSD after Winter 2011, so I'll be applying this coming December for a Fall 2011 enrollment. If I can get it together and have a strong spring and summer quarter, do you think I still have a chance at getting into some schools?
Note: I haven't taken GRE's yet but I've been getting experience in the field, I think I'm up to about 100 hours and counting as of now.
Any info is appreciated, thanks.
