I am currently a second semester junior and I have a science GPA of 3.15 and an overall GPA of 3.25. I have 120 hours in a sub acute hospital setting and 40 from a private oupatient setting. I have not taken physics or my GRE yet, but as of now I plan on doing both over the summer (physics at a local community college by home).
My question is whether I should apply this summer or take a year off after I graduate in hopes that my senior year GPA will boost me up enough to be a more competitive applicant? I don't have many friends who are pre-PT, but from what I have heard from others is that if you do not make it in on your first rounds, your chances go down significantly if you re apply.
Any advice in general is also welcome.
