Hi all,

I've read through some very helpful threads in the PT section and would like to introduce myself and hopefully gain some insight on my chances of being accepted into a DPT program this coming year...

Undergrad: Community Health, BS with Nutrition concentration (first 2 years of undergrad classes were in the Athletic Training program - changed majors because of my dislike of the program...)
Graduate: currently working towards my Nutrition, MS - I have put the last few requirements on hold because I decided that I ultimately want to apply to PT school this year and not put it off any longer.

Undergrad cGPA: 3.21 (140 credits)
Graduate cGPA: 3.41 (27 credits - 12 remaining, including thesis)
Non-degree cGPA: 3.385 (13 credits - I have taken as many pre-reqs at my community college to save money)
GRE: 148 verb, 148 math (haven't received writing scores, just took GRE for first time today)

One question I have is: how do I calculate my last 60 credits? would it be whichever 60 credits from the combination of these 3 locations?
Also, if I have multiple grades for the same or similar course, for instance, I have 2-3 different Pysch classes with different grades, do I choose the best grade?

I reside in Virginia, but desperately looking for a school in either California or Florida since it is an option for me (God bless)

Any suggestions are much appreciated for what I should do next... I'm anxious to submit my app as soon as July 1st rolls around, but I still need to complete 2 semesters of Physics and possibly retake a second semester of Chem since I got a C+...

I have to run otherwise I would write more, so this will have to do for now!
 
Just a word of advice, check with any programs that you want to apply to but you should be OK with just a few outstanding classes that you want to take/retake. I'm a non-trad student and I applied with 5 classes left (2 semesters of chem, 1 semester of physics, second psych class, and stats). One program held my application until I had finished the fall semester which left me with 3 outstanding.
