Hello all,
I'm in the process of applying to DPT programs like most on this forum. Looking at all these requirements makes my statistics scream mediocrity, or worse. I decided to attend the best school in my state, and one of the best in the country, and now feel that I am being hurt by a GPA that resulted from rigorous academics. I just wanted to see if anyone here thinks I have a shot at being accepted to any DPT programs my first application season.
School: University of Michigan
Major: Movement Science (School of Kinesiology)
Cumulative GPA: 3.2
Pre-req GPAs: Vary between about 2.9 - 3.2 depending on program
GRE: Have not taken, but expecting maybe a 1200-1250, 4.5
Observation: 50+ hours outpatient (continually adding hours every week)
Recommendations: Will have several great recs from PTs and employers. I don't really feel close enough to any professors to ask for a recommendation.
Also, my pre-req GPA for a lot of schools I want to apply to is in the 2.9-2.99 range. With one pre-req still to complete and with a good grade expected, will the programs with a 3.0 minimum let that slide?
Thanks for any opinions/advice anyone offers up.
