Hey everyone,

I was hoping I could get some feedback on how good my stats are so I can determine which schools I have a good chance of getting into. Please feel free to list which schools are the best match for me based solely on my stats (I will look at other factors on my own).

Residence: New York State
Education: Double major in biology and biochemistry (psychology minor)
CUM GPA: 3.79
Pre-Req GPA: 3.6 - 3.9 (depending on school)
105 OT hours: 25 with mentally handicapped at a day program, 20 with elderly at nursing home, 60 in various hospital settings (inpatient rehab, ortho, ICU, cardio)
Other: Several leadership positions in college, teaching assistant for biology, research assistant for biology and psychology, several honors and awards, community volunteering, and 100 hours in other healthcare settings.

Thank you! 🙂

I am envious of your GPA. I am applying for fall 2013, and I hope I can get through with a 3.4.

Maybe add more volunteer hours w/ OT? I know depending on the SNF policy you might be standing and staring at people with no contact, but it is still hours.

Is this your first time applying?

My cumulative GPA is lower than both of you. Are you planning on taking the GRE?

Uhhh....any school? Your stats rock and as long as you have decent letters of rec and a strong personal statement you're golden. Good luck!

Yeah I should have said that. Your grades are just really great.

Thank you all so much for your help and encouragement!

Yes, this is my first time applying. I have heard that OT is becoming really competitive and since I have never applied before I was nervous about my chances.

No, I will not be taking the GRE. I noticed a lot of schools do not require it and it will save me time and money to focus on applications. This will also narrow down the list of schools of course.

GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL!! 🙂
