Hello everyone,
I have a self created dilemma of having a low GPA but wanting to go to a DPT program in Florida. What do you think I can do to improve my application and increase my chances?
University: University of Florida
Major: B.S. Applied Physiology and Kinesiology
Prereq GPA: 3.51
Last 60 GPA: 3.05
Observation hours : I have 65 but I am planning and looking around to boost them waaaay up. Should I diversify as well?
EC: Internship at a radiology clinic for 530 hours as part of my spring term. Volunteer at a local hospital. I am also in the National Guard and I wonder if that is a good because of the skills it has taught me or bad thing since i could be away for training or even deployed.
So what do you suggest I do to stand out more and make up for my lower GPA? I appreciate all the help!

- As of now I still have to take physics 2, chem 2 and retake chem 1 (got a C in it)
- If I get all A's in physics 2, chem 2 and chem 1 I will have a prereq GPA of 3.68 or 3.8 (if they don't count my prior C in chem)
Last 60 GPA: 3.05
- If i take physics 2 and chem 2 and retake chem 1 i can hover around a 3.10-3.15
- I know it's not good and there isn't much I can do to increase it
