Hello,
I am currently preparing to apply to PT programs, but I am a little afraid of a bad undergrad semester. In undergrad, I was in nursing school for a semester, but had to withdraw due to grades. I experienced a lot of outside problems that semester, that reflected in my academics. So my question is... will programs avoid my application, even if I have outstanding observation hours, great GRE, 3.3 Overall GPA and a 3.7 prerequisite GPA?
I understand they could possibly look at it in regards to my ability to handle the pressure of PT school, since I was once in one of the states' best nursing schools. Personally, it is not a reflection of my ability, but life happens and I have learned from it.
Any suggestions on wording to explain the semester in my essay?
Thanks!
