Hey everyone. I just wanted to let people who think they have no chance what so ever that there are alternatives. I am an intelligent person who simply did not care about my grades as an undergrad because I saw little purpose to my education; if I did not care about my classes I simply did not attend. If I found the course interesting I earned an A. This resulted in a lot of A's and some not so A grades.
I've done a lot of growing up since discovering that OT was what I want to do with my life. I have shadowed approx. 90 hours so far and I am involved in a lot of volunteer work in my community, I've taken over 70 credit hours of pre-reqs and supporting courses and I have nearly a 3.8 GPA in those. I am applying to schools that look only at the last 60 credit hours or are willing to contextualize my poor undergrad record. I have a chance at getting in and I am optimistic.
I have also applied to a PsyD program with Argosy University Chicago as a backup.
