Acceptance/application questions

Members don't see this ad.

Just have a couple questions I would like opinions/answers to.

1) How do schools select prereqs from your coursework? I recently decided to apply to a couple schools (assuming I don't get ED acceptance) which require prereqs that I did not check on my application.

2) Are you not able to select additional schools to apply to until the ED window is closed?

3) Finally, any opinions on my chance of acceptance? Starting to hit me that we'll all be finding out relatively soon!

Degree- Exercise Science
cGPA- 3.31
pGPA- 3.3- 3.5 (depending on school, high end for ED choice)
GRE- 146V, 152Q, 3.5W
Observation hours- 322 (SNF), 22 (acute), 40 (OP ortho), 22 (OP pediatrics)

I have 4 letters of rec [2 professors (1 being my Pre-PT advisor) and 2 PTs]. I submitted my ED application to UW-La Crosse.

Any responses appreciated! Best of luck to all.

1) Most schools don't really look at PTCAS "self reported" pGPA unless the courses selected matches their pre-reqs.
If the school cares about pGPA and uses it as an important factor in the admission process then they will most likely have a "pre-req form" that you'll have to fill out on their website. 2 or 3
out of 5 schools I applied to did that.
If they don't then my guess is that they just want to make sure that you received mostly As and Bs in Pre-Reqs and will look at your transcript to get this information.

2) Yes until you hear back from your ED school you can't. But you can look at the school's supplemental questions -if any- and get everything ready that way the day you hear, if it's a negative decision, you're ready to submit for other schools.

3) I don't really know UW Lacrosse or what they particularly look for in applicants so hard to tell


Hope this helps!
