Hey guys,
I am new to this forum, but am ready to dig in and read through everything. The questions that I have are the following. I, basically, backed myself into a corner throughout my college years (slacking, procrastinating, passing courses with C's etc). So, essentially, my GPA suffered tremendously. To put it lightly, school got to me. I was in one major for about 35 credits until I changed to another (the one which I am currently in: Sports and Fitness Studies). I just became tired of it. My GPA is now a 2.77 and I have currently 105 credits obtained Now, I have turned over a new leaf and what to really hit the books hard and raise my GPA, but am wondering if its too little too late? I want to graduate with at least a 3.0 which is possible if a take a few more courses, according to my calculations, and, also, obtain a minor in Psychology. If I take courses to boost my GPA that are not part of Physical Therapy or sciences, will it affect me negatively when it comes to how I look on paper? I don't mean courses like Scuba Diving or Origami 101. I am talking more like courses in business, or finances and things like that. I am also trying to obtain as many hours as I can in the clinical aspect. In regards to the GRE, I feel like it can be a lifesaver for me if I get the scores that I know I am capable of. How good (or bad, of course) do you think my chances are of getting in? I have al my requirements needed to graduate, but I want to fix all these issues before I apply.
Thanks
