Hey guys I am currently in the process of applying to PT schools and I'm not too sure if my application would be considered competitive.
My current stats are:

Overall GPA: 3.601
Pre-Req GPA: 3.43
GRE Q: 152
GRE V: 147
GRE Writing: 3.0

400 Observation Hours at 2 Outpatient Settings
8 Observation Hours at 1 In-Patient Setting

Currently work as a Physical Therapy Technician and Graduate Assistant for my master's program in exercise physiology.
Also served 2 internships at cardiopulmonary rehabilitation hospitals throughout my undergrad and graduate career.

I would love some input! Thanks
It depends on where you're applying and other aspects of your app (the quality of your letters, your essays, etc.), but your stats seem more or less in the range for some programs (maybe the prereq GPA is slightly low. Are any of your MS classes counting toward prereq GPA to help boost it? And the GRE may be a little low, especially the writing and the quant).

I'd try to boost your in-patient/non outpatient-ortho setting experiences too, as schools like to see multiple settings -- maybe try to get some SNF or acute care, too.
