What are my weaknesses, aspects I need to strengthen and what are my chances for acceptance?
Undergrad: Appalachian State University; BSc Exercise Science
Major: Exercise Science
Minor: Biology & Chemistry
Concentration: Pre-Med
Cumulative GPA : 3.64
Honors: Cum Laude
Pre-Req GPA is higher than my Cumulative: Not sure on the exact number
Graduate: University of Tampa; MSc Exercise and Nutrition Science
Cumulative GPA: 4.0
Honors: Summa Cum Laude
GRE: TBD; June 23
LOR: 1 from Graduate Advisor (Ph.D.), 3 from Licensed PTs that I have worked close with
Observation Hours: 1000+ hours working in a outpatient clinic dealing with auto-accident injuries and workers compensation cases; 500+ hours working for an outpatient PT and Sports Med rehab facility, 47 hours volunteering with a hospital outpatient PT and sports rehab facility, 40 hours volunteering inpatient acute care in a hospital.
Research: Senior research assistant during my graduate program in the UT Human Performance Lab with which I was a co-author on one published and one soon to be published manuscripts. Presented research at the NSCA Conference in Las Vegas, Nevada. Helped with many more research projects. Helped teach undergrad classes.
Research assistant at UNC-Charlotte in the Kinesiology Dpt. working with skeletal muscle physiology and the molecular pathways (A-Notch and Wnt) regulating skeletal muscle growth
Research assistant at Appalachian State examining in vivo and in vitro signaling mechanisms underlying thermoregulatory and micro-vascular dysfunction in diabetic and cardiovascular disease populations, and the impact of exercise and thermal interventions on vascular responses.
Internships: Six month internship with a Division 1 S&C program; 500+ hours interning for the American Red Cross; 50+ hours practicum working with two licensed neurologists
Extracurriculars:; Founding member of Alpha Epsilon Delta (honors medical society); President of Gamma Beta Phi (service and academic honor society); 300+ hours shadowing various MDs, DOs, PAs; 2 semesters on Chancellors list and 2 semesters on Deans list; Philanthropy Chair for fraternity.
Certifications: CPR/AED; CSCS; CISSN; Will have obtained FMS Lvl.1 cert. and potentially USAW by submission time
Top Picks for DPT Programs are:
University of Florida
