Started by PREMEDWOAHS
Figured it was time for me to add my stats onto the growing list. 🙂
University: Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP)
Major: Early Chilldhood / Elementary Education
Overall GPA: 3.92 (when I graduated)
Overall GPA now: 3.89 (after taking my pre-reqs)
Pre-Req GPA: 3.83 (Sci & Math), 3.79 (Sci), 3.72 (all pre-reqs)
GRE:
420V, 640Q, 4.5A
490V, 590Q, 4.5A
460V, 630Q, 5.0A
Extra-Curric: I am a certified spinning instructor, Les Mills BodyPump instructor, CPR/AED/First Aid certified, during my undergrad I did a lot of volunteer work/activities/part-time jobs, but since I am now in the "real world" I work 40 hours a week and teach 6 exercise classes a week.
Volunteer: 100+ hours of volunteer work between Out-patient, In-patient, pediatrics, visiting nurses association, etc, etc. I have seen almost all of it with the few volunteering stints I did.
(I noticed a lot of people have WAY more volunteer hours... that is so commendable... Since I am "older" and work full-time M-F I don't have much time for volunteering, especially when most clinics/hospital PTs are done by 3-4pm... Hopefully not having as many hours won't be a downfall...)

Congratulations!!!! I got my certified mail today for Southwest Baptist University. Im accepted, they didn't interview. I still have three interviews (Temple 11/12; RFUMS 11/20, Shenandoah University 12/16). Even thought Southwest Baptist is not ranked and not my number one school. At least I know I will be in a program and on my way to being a PT. This forum has been such a big help to me in the past and I know it will be in the future. I come on here to get some advice and value everyones opinions. Thank you everyone!!!!Got my Pittsburgh acceptance e-mail this morning...
And if you guys have seen my stats in the past, people with lower GPAs can get accepted, and don't lose hope.

Good luck. You'll definitely get into Nova, FIU, UNF. FIU is still more expensive even for an instater. Ive gotten accepted to out of state programs that are cheaper than FIU.Just sent everything! It was so stressful, the more I reviewed my application, the more I found stuff that I thought was wrong with it. So, I just submitted it. We'll see what happens.

Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I got an acceptance email from Touro too!! it went to my Spam folder, so they sent it on Nov 4th, but I just discovered it this morning! 👍🙂
Yeah I got mine on November 4th as well. Also in the spam box, ehich I happened to check that same day. When do you plan on sending the deposit if you dont hear from other programs before the deadline. 4 weeks from the date we received the email right?

I'm hoping I'll hear from others, but if no one else takes me, I'll be sending in my deposit! I just REALLY wanted to get in this cycle, so I applied to 7 places!

Here are my stats:

Total GPA: 3.5
Pre-req GPA: About 3.0 (one C in chemistry II)
Volunteer: 400 hours outpatient, 50 acute care

Extra-cirrcular: Certified personal trainer (NASM), working on corrective exercise certificate, online medical terminology course, volunteer work at church

Compared to most of you all, my stats look pathetic. I just wonder if I have a chance. I've received an interview offer from U Tennessee so I hope they put more emphasis on the interview than on my academic record. That seems to be my only hope.

I'm SUPER nervous, I didn't know what I wanted to do after college, held a couple different jobs and nothing fit. I have been focused on PT school since the Summer of 09 when I started by taking my first pre-req, Biology. I'm hoping the admissions committees will see my dedication as an older student!best of luck to everyone in the admissions process.
UPDATE:

I'M GOING TO SUNY UPSTATE! It was my #1 choice, you can't beat the program or the cost! So I'll be emailing all the other programs, and hopefully this will open up a spot for someone else. Best of luck to everyone else in the process 👍
