Just some stats first:
-3.04 cGPA
-around a 2.92 science GPA.
Major: Science of Food, Nutrition, and Exercise @ Virginia Tech.
Pretty much, O-Chem (C+ 1st semester, C 2nd semester) and Concepts of Biochemistry (C-) destroyed by GPA my sophomore year of college, and I took Anatomy and Physiology on top of it.
I have no volunteer experience at a PT clinic, although I allocated my Fridays to volunteer this semester. What exactly does one do at a small PT clinic? There's a few in Blacksburg, but they don't look like they receive a lot of clients.
I turned my GPA around hardcore last semester, and expect to receive a 3.5 at least for this semester. I just feel like it's so late and my C- in biochem is not so great at all.
To top if off I would love to apply to D.O school, but I know I am not competitive at all - especially with my low O-chem grades.
Should I retake my Concepts of Biochemistry class? After taking 1st semester Metabolism class, I know I could easily do well in BCHEM. Sorry if I scatter my thoughts on here, I feel kind of lost. Would also taking a GRE prep-course be beneficial for this upcoming semester?
Also, this summer I really would like to get undergraduate research or an independent study with an exercise physiologist on campus. Would that be beneficial? My dream PT schools are University of Utah and Virginia Commonwealth Uni.
