You can get in!!! My stats were just about yours but I had more experienced. Apply to more schools if you can get more money. Get A's in physics and if you have more credits than you need take an old prereq over. Also. You have better a GRE.

Where did you apply? And where did you get in?!

Do well in your physics classes and I think you should be fine. I recently got into PT school via early decision and my stats are very mediocre. Biology major GPA: 3.2

Study for the GRE and improve that verbal score first and foremost

Thanks, I have taken it twice and gotten 133 for verbal both times so its frustrating to me. It just isn't my strong subject. I appreciate it though!

I heard somewhere that the strongest correlation to passing the boards was the verbal section of the GRE

Study it better. Take it again. Do better.

I don't want to be mean but 130 is the minimum score. You are trying to apply for a doctorate. You need to be able to do better than that

Sorry, verbal is actually 140. I am not sure why I put 133, even though I understand 140 is still below par. Still waiting on AW from my recent GRE test.

 

[DPThopeful1859]

I would aim to try and get at least 150 or above on both V and Q.
