Hey all,
I'm a pre-pt student graduating in May and only have a 2.95 GPA right now. I have 300 observation hours in PT from an internship, also. I'm trying to think of a back up plan and my plan right now is to work as a PT tech and take more science classes this next year and then apply in 2015. But, I've also heard advice on getting a masters in something to raise my GPA and then apply and so I'll have a back-up plan job if all else fails.
My degree is in ex physiology so there's not many "real" job options with that degree that I know of. PT is my first choice job but I'm just worried that I'll apply year after year and never get in-so I want to have a back up plan. So, do you think it'd be better to work as a PT tech and take more classes and just hope I get in, or to get a Masters to raise my GPA? What did y'all have as a back-up plan? Thanks everyone!
