So here is my situation:
I am currently a junior in college (Psychology Major). My GPA currently is 3.18.
My grades for PT related courses are
Developmental Psych: A-
Abnormal Psych: B+
Chemistry 1: B- (I am very concerned about this)
Chemistry 2: Taking in Spring semester
Anatomy: Taking in Spring semester
Physiology: Taking in Fall 2014 semester
Physics 1: Taking in Spring semester
Physics 2: Taking in Fall 2014 semester
Biology 1: B
Statistics: B
All of my grades so far in college have been between A- and B-. I am expecting to do pretty well on the GRE.
Now here is the thing, my plan would be to apply to PT programs in the Fall 2014 semester, so that would mean that I would still have some prerequisites outstanding. I am planning to do my PT shadowing this summer, but will probably only be able to do between 100-200 hours of shadowing in a variety of settings. So basically what I'm asking is this:
With a GPA of 3.18-3.2, a few outstanding prerequisites, and only 100-200 hours of shadowing under my belt, do i stand a chance of getting accepted to a PT program? If it helps, I would like to mention that most of the programs that I would be considering would be in Texas and that my current school is Boston University. Is it worth it to bother continuing down the PT path with my current situation or should I not even bother. (Please don't answer with something such as, just go with your dreams. I am trying to be realistic here. I am not exactly married to PT. I would love to do it, but there are other things I would love to do too if PT is not feasible for me.)
