The whole COVID thing kinda put things on pause for me but I'm hoping to receive an acceptance from the University of St Augustine in the St Augustine campus. I'm really excited to head out at 21 years old because I didn't want to take a year off but here's my stats so far:
University: Georgian Court University
Major: Exercise Science
Minor: Holistic Health
Overall GPA: 3.5
Pre-Req GPA: 3.3
GRE: 303
Extra-Curric: Honestly I had a lot of extra curriculars but if I'm gonna be honest these are really peripheral things that grad schools look at so don't be too concerned with doing as many as possible. Focus on your pre reqs. You can have A's in all your classes but if your pre reqs aren't above AT LEAST C+ you're gonna have to retake those pre reqs
Rejections: Lol I had a lot so I'm not gonna go into detail. . .
Interviews: I applied to 18 schools and got 6 interviews total then the other 30% was waitlists and the rest were rejections
((( Off the top of my head though, I got waitlisted at Scranton, Long Island U, Rosalind Franklin, New England, Sacred Heart... my GRE really set me back ://
Acceptances: Gannon University, Marist College, and a few conditional acceptances if I retook the GRE, retook classes, etc but I only listed my official acceptances
It's definitely a nerve-wracking process to go through but really make sure pre reqs are up there. I really wanted to set myself apart by doing well in my pre reqs and although some aren't great, some get a lot of commendable remarks. I kept getting conditional acceptances like "As long as you maintain..." or "As long as you retake..." so it sucked that I didn't get official acceptances like everyone else here.
I'm hoping to hear back from St Augustine because they wanted me to take med term and human growth and development so after I graduated my undergrad, I immediately enrolled in those courses along with retaking physics 1. I got an A in all of them so that was cool but my pre reqs are:
Bio 1: B
Bio 2: B+
Chem 1: B+
Chem 2: B
Physics 1: A
Physics 2: A-
Stats: B (does anyone else suck at stats lol?? This class should've been easy but I'm ridiculously bad at math even though it's not really math lol)
Psych: B- (My teacher sucked)
Psychopathology (200 or 300 level psych course I forgot): A
Human Growth and Development (Requirement for St Augustine): A
College Algebra: A-
Pre Calc: A-
Calc: B (I don't think calc is required for pt schools anymore so you have to find out for whatever school you're applying to if they require it)
GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE APPLYING!!! If you have any other questions follow me on IG @ogxpinto and DM me I'll help you out!
