Having trouble deciding how many PT schools to apply to given my stats. Applying to mainly Florida schools. Would love any input.
cGPA: 3.84
pGPA: 3.72
GRE: 147 V, 154 Q, 4.5 AWA
Observation: 180ish hours in inpatient and outpatient
Extracurriculars: lots of clubs and some leadership positions

Hi! Our stats are really similar! I'm not too sure about Florida schools but I posted my stats to reddit and someone commented that they had similar stats as mine and got into FIU and U of Florida if that helps! I'm applying to a lot of schools just because I'm nervous about not getting into PT school the first time but I suppose its up to you.

I have a feeling I’ll end up applying to around 8. I’m just nervous about my verbal score for the GRE. I think im going to retake it but need to put the time in to actually study

I think the GRE score should be fine! that's what I've been told cuz my verbal score is a 149 and a lot of people have just said to apply to schools without a minimum of 150. Just hoping for the best

You should be accepted to schools that don't require GRE. Since your stats are pretty good (unless schools ask for V GRE to be above your score), prioritize cheaper schools.
