Hello Everyone, I am in confusion of how should I improve my application. I really want this PT career and I am very diligent. I applied for 2013 and interviewed with Western, but didn’t get in. I really need your advice as I will be applying to next cycle 2014.

Chem 2 – B

Pre- Req – 3.17
Overall – 3.30

My questions
Should I concentrate repeating Biology and Psychology with C’s over the summer or should I retake GRE first?

I totally understand I need to improve both GPA and GRE, but I am very confused on which one should I focus on first.

Any comments, concern will be very helpful. Thanks!!!

Study the GRE and retake a course over the summer. I am sure you can juggle the two.

You can also call Western to schedule an appointment with them to go over your application and tell you what you should work on.

Retake all prereq classes you got a C in, and probably anatomy and physio too and try and get A's. Study your butt of for the GRE,give yourself at least 8 weeks anf get that writing score to at least a 3.5.

yea your gre score is pretty brutal. Retake c's.

Thank You All for your response and suggestions.

Will the schools you're applying to accept online courses? If so, I can recommend an online program that might help- I took most of my prereqs online and it really helped my gpa. If you can retake a few of the courses you got Cs in, it will make a difference.

If you don't mind, what program were you able to take online? I'm in a Master's program and needing to take, BIO I, PHYS I and II, and CHEM I and II. I would love to start two over the summer, two in the fall, and finish in the spring of 2014 to be able to be admitted or even considered.

Unfortunately, my colleges do not accept any science courses online...But I am trying to get Psy online..Do any of you recommend taking another Psychology than Abnormal and just replacing the course? Or should I just retake the abnormal at other college?

abnormal is required by the majority of pt schools.
