THE PLAN
- Continue on at City College #2, finish prerequisite courses with the best grades I can muster.
- Start sports medicine internship January 7th, get 450 hours of observation/work.
- Treat the GRE as a class, study regularly. If necessary, invest in multiple practice tests and tutoring.
THE CONCERN
- My very terrible undergraduate GPA.
- My prerequisites are from a city college.
- I am unsure of whether my graduate level GPA will be considered.
- I don't have my GRE score yet so that's a huge unknown still - making it hard to be confident.
