Hey all, I am entering my final semester of undergrad and was planning on applying to PT school. It is what I have always wanted to do. My freshman and sophomore years were a challenge for me as a biochem major, personally and academically. I was in the hospital for internal bleeding during midterms of the hardest semester, my brother was having some drug problems, and I was dealing with very bad depression and anxiety. I decided it was time for a change. I transferred to a state uni and entered the pre-PT program. I seeked treatment for my depression and anxiety and my life has been great since. I have excelled in all my science courses and raised my overall GPA from a 2.9 to about a 3.4, getting A's in physics, anatomy, physiology, and other bio classes. I am taking my GRE next month and have been studying.
As I said i am in the process of applying to graduate schools. I am a PA resident, and am looking into Slippery Rock, as it seems to be the cheapest option in PA. I reallly need a cheap option for PT school, as my parents are not going to be able to help me at all after sending my brother to rehab and paying off his debts. I have been researching some cheap out of state schools, but it seems like they are extremely competitive and my stats won't be good enough. Also, I have read about some schools offering out of state students instate tuition, but do not know specific schools that do this (Tx?). Does anyone have any advice/schools I should look into? Thank you very much!
