I know you guys read a lot of these kinds of threads, but I was wondering if you guys can give me some advice. I graduated from UC Berkeley with a Nutritional Science degree and a 2.5 GPA. I am not sure my pre-req GPA, but here is a list of the grades I got.
English A-
Psychology A
Sociology B, Anthropology A
Statistics C-
Chemistry C, Did not take 2nd part of Chemistry
Physics C+, Did not take 2nd part of Physics
Biology B, Did not take 2nd part of Biology
Anatomy A
Physiology B+ lab A
Other than re-taking the C- I got in Statistics, and taking the 2nd part of the science classes, I was wondering if you guys can give me some advice. Since graduating, I started going to a local community college and started to ease my way back to school. My last 31 units have been all A's at the community college, and though they may have been easy classes, and not as rigorous as a UC Berkeley class, I was wondering what you guys recommend in order for me to get into a school. I plan on applying in the Fall of 2012 so I still have a year to improve. I recently got a job as PT aide for an ortho outpatient clinic, so I plan on doing that until I get accepted. I plan on waiting for the new GRE's, and I just wanted to get some input, since all you guys are really helpful with that.
What kind of volunteer work should I do? What else do I need to prepare for the application process? Are my stats good enough? What can I do to study for the new GRE's? Is there a website where I can calculate my overall GPA, and my pre-req GPA?
I wish I would have done a lot better in school, so I could have gone straight into it, but I did not realize I would get into this profession until after I graduated. I am trying to do my best to turn things around and I appreciate the time you guys are taking to read and respond to my post. Any insight, advice, and recommendations will be great. Thanks.
