So I was pretty stupid in only applying to one local PT school assuming I would get in. I had connections, but my GPA was just too low. I am now in the process of preparing for starting PT school next year and am not sure where exactly I should apply. Here are my scores:
Cum. GPA: 3.09
PreReq GPA: 2.92
GRE Math: 154
GRE Verbal: 149
GRE AW: 4.0
Shadowing Hours: 200
Extra Curricular Activity Hours: 1700+
I am retaking 5 courses this coming fall and should land in the 3.2 range pre-req wise by December. Does anyone have some recommendations of where I should apply because I am now aware my resume is not that great and I feel very in over my head.
 
You should look the PTCAS website. Look at the schools website. Compare your scores to their requirements. I don't think its a good idea to ask people where you should apply. Every program is different and you should do the research to find the right fit for "you". Cause where others want to go may not be where you want to go. That is something you should figure out on your own. Good luck.
 
It sounds like u are looking more for advice on what schools will possibly take u based on ur stats. Since they do seem to be a bit on the low side, Cooperylee is right in that you should look at PTCAS and their admission statistics. But at the same time find which one is right for you. Personally I though I had my mind made up about a school, and then it changed bc the second school "just felt right" and was the better fit, and ultimately I believe I will excel and become a better PT for going through the second school.
