Hello y'all,

I am applying to DPT programs in NY (NYU, Stonybrook, Hunter, SUNY DS, and Touro). I am curious if there are any students out there in these programs who could give their two cents on my undergrad stats and the chance of being accepted.

BS Exercise Science

Overall GPA: 2.97 (This is low due to a poor freshman year where I received D's in Biology I and II and did not do well in other courses either. Rough year mentally and had a 2.0 flat for the year. However Soph year to graduation I had a 3.3 overall)

Prereq: depends on school, range of 3.3-3.6. All of my prereqs are high except for Chemistry (B-). Obviously this will be lower if they average those D's from Biology (i retook bio I and II in soph year) but I'm pretty sure they do not do that for the prereq grade, only overall.)

GRE: 1040 (430 verbal, 610 math). Really pissed, I totally choked. I was getting 1100's on practive tests for 3 weeks straight.

Obs Hours: 400 private, 75 inpatient acute care

I also have a Master's Degree in exercise science from Southern Conn. State U where I had a 3.91 gpa.

I'm not very confident because of the overall GPA but I havn't spoken to many students. Any info would be great. Thanks!
 
Hi
I just wanted to check in to see if you got in to any of the schools you had applied? i'm in a similar situation with a low overall GPA because of my undergrad and also have a masters (but in an unrelated field). Just wanted to see if there was any hope since I'm looking to apply to the same schools.
Thank you!
