Hey everyone! Glad I found this forum because I have a few questions. I'm a junior looking to apply to PT school for the upcoming cycle, and I just want to make sure I'm where I should be with everything. I go to a small private college and only know a couple others interested in PT, so I'm not exactly sure where I stand on everything.
First of all, hours - I have 25 inpatient acute/hospital hours and 120 outpatient ortho hours. My GPA is 3.9 with the only prereqs left being physics I and II. Should I try to get a 3rd setting in and more hours this summer, or am I ok with what I have?
Secondly, GRE/applying - I originally hoped to get the GRE out of the way in May, but I have such a busy schedule this semester that I'm struggling to find time to start studying along with my other classes. Looking at the forums and other places online, it seems like 2 months of studying is ideal. I'm done with finals by the beginning of May, so here's what I was thinking: study May and June, take the test at the end of June, and have my application completely submitted before I start senior year mid-August. I'm really hoping my first score will be good enough, but if it's not, I figured I could retake it again in July if I needed to. Does this seem reasonable?
Thanks guys!
