So I'm obviously a non-trad applicant. Has anyone else run into this? For schools that require prereqs within the past 10 years - is this a hard and fast rule, or might they make exceptions?
Here's my story:
I got my undergrad in Kinesiology in 2004. My original plan was PT school, but I wanted to get married and I didn't feel like I was ready for grad school. I ended up getting a job for the Navy as a Fitness Coordinator and I loved it, so I stayed for 8 years.
But a few years ago I decided I wanted to go back to PT. I applied to ECU in 2013 (all prereqs and other requirements complete) and did not even get an interview. I was told that 2 flags on my application were my GPA (2 Cs), and my out-of-state status.
So, I moved to NC about a year ago and have retake the classes with Cs to get As.
Anyways, I'm going to apply to ECU again and probably also UNC Chapel Hill, since they don't specify a time frame for prereqs. But I'm looking to expand my options and I keep running into the 10 year requirement.
That got a little long. Anyone have any thoughts or experience with this?
Thanks!
