Hey everyone! I am looking for some feedback on my stats and input on how I could make my application stronger. I realize that my GPAs are on the low end, I am hoping that my experiences will still make me a competitive applicant.
Undergrad degree: BS in Health & Exercise Science - Syracuse University
Graduate degree: MS in Athletic Training - Temple University
cGPA: 3.21
pGPA: 3.11
Last 60: 3.91
GRE: V - 152, Q - 158, AW - 4.0
** retaking a couple of science courses this summer to increase my GPA
Observation hours: 400 hours - outpatient ortho/sport, 25 outpatient aquatics, 10 inpatient pediatric, 25 SNF for those with physical disabilities, and I should get about 280 more at the outpatient facility where I work as a PT aide; also have 1000+ athletic training hours.
LOR: 2 PTs from the outpatient facility that I work at, 1 from the program director of my athletic training program
Extracurriculars: I work as a personal trainer at a health/wellness facility, instruct an exercise class for kids ages 7-12, volunteer for the Special Olympics, volunteer at a local animal shelter, was an RA at my undergrad university, have worked as camp counselor for a sports camp, volunteered for a program that taught parents of children with intellectual and physical disabilities how to engage in physical activity with their children, student ambassador for my undergrad and graduate universities, and was vice president of my undergrad's exercise science club.
Applying to: Temple University, Widener University, Rutgers South, SUNY Upstate, Marymount University, Old Dominion University, University of the Sciences, Touro College, and Howard University.
Any input or advice would be greatly appreciated! Good luck to everyone applying this cycle!
