Do I have any chance?

Hello, I just want to see if I have any chance to be admitted to ANY DPT program. My GPA is 3.49, prerequisite 3.31, GRE 148/150/4.0. I have 100+ hours of observation but no in-patient experience. Not much community involvement either. Should I even try? And if there is a chance, then in what school?

Your stats look pretty good, but having a killer LOR & personal statement would take your application to the next level!

You should be ok. You may want to look at schools that don't require GRE or only require the written portion, I think 150 is the cut-off for some schools in which case they will not review your application due to the 148. I may be wrong so double-check, of course.

Look at the average stats of accepted students wherever you apply. The popular state schools / cheaper programs are highly competitive & while 3.49 is perfectly acceptable, it may not be competitive enough for the top schools.

Most schools have been fairly lax about observation hours because of Covid so I wouldn't worry about the IP experience. I had zero community involvement and was accepted - it looks nice on an app but isn't a requirement, at least that I have ever seen.
