*Although my stats are average, I believe what got me my acceptances were making sure my extracurricular activities, observation hours, and recommenders were diverse. I also asked a few PT students to help me along the way. Finally,
talk to admissions I asked so many questions I knew the answer already but did it anyways so they knew I am very interested. Literally have threads of conversations since July with different admissions departments.
Best of luck everyone!
