Hello,
So I applied to around thirteen schools this cycle. So far, I've gotten one acceptance and I'm on about seven wait lists and I have denied interviews at a few schools that were not accredited yet. I am still waiting to hear back from two schools that I recently had interviews at. No denials yet. I'm very happy that I've gotten the opportunity to be accepted to the other school, but it is about fourteen hours away from home. Moving there would be a pain and I really don't want to go that far away from family and friends. But I've done five years of undergrad so I'm already a year behind and don't know if taking a gap year would be the best option.
Here are my stats:
Total GPA: 3.41
Pre-Req: 3.25
GRE: 150 (Q) 152 (V) 4.0
Extracurricular: sorority, service fraternity, physical therapy fraternity, club tennis, volunteer at humane society and homeless shelter
Hours: over 300 in inpatient nursing home, 50 in outpatient clinic, 20 home health
So, what do you guys think I should do? Should I go to the school that is super far away? Or take a gap year? If you think I should take a gap year, how would I improve my application? I don't really think I could improve my GPA by much because I have so many credits and my advisor said it would take like three years of straight As to even see a difference.
Thanks for your help in advance!
