Being 25, I feel somewhat like I am losing time..not to mention just the pressure from my family, I have lots of overachievers that I'm being compared to..so yeah. I thought the idea of taking a year off from school, working full-time again with an actual bachelor's (in hope I get a decent job) might be the way to go....or apply to PTA school, not be in major debt and still be able to work. I know counting on PTA to DPT programs isn't something I should rely on, but I can definitely see it as a road to DPT. I really only have grad school pre-reqs (Upper Chem, Physics) left, and even with high grades in those, my GPA is still gonna be sub-par. PTA school would give me the chance to raise my GPA still, and most definitely if I work as a PTA and then decide to go the DPT route I'd have a chance with experience and better grades.
As far as going DPT, it would definitely be a mission for me. To be honest, I'm looking at graduate school to be another way to do it right. My entire college experience has been lackluster, and it's coming to an end. Graduate school for me..is like, another way to prove myself and really give it my all and taking the experience.
