I'm gonna go ahead and top eyeballinbruin in the low grades arena. My grades and OAT scores are kind of all over the place, but I have a lot of experience when it comes to the profession. So for those folks who are in the same boat with their statistics, just make it clear to the adcoms that you know this is what you want and you take responsibility for your grades but that you've assessed your deficiencies and are planning to work extra hard to do well.

I have no shadowing experience at all, will probably have 20 hours before I apply, because i work everyday over the summer. So, I do not get the chance to shadow. I have not yet taken the OAT. However, I will take it this summer. I am guessing myself with a 320 overall score (that's why I am nervous along with very little shadowing). So, I ask those who got accepted to PCO, please help me put my mind at easy by advices and help post up stats.

PS: I am trying to enter after my 3rd year, not receiving a Bach Degree. So for those who are "in the same boat" or "was in the same boat" please give some feedback..

I think maybe this should be in its own new thread.

hmm... I probably have the lowest stats here. I've just been so happy that I got accepted (Sept 09) that I've been avoiding SDN. 😛

this doesn't mean that I didn't have to work my butt off~

FOR THOSE WHO FEEL LIKE THEY HAVE NO HOPE...with HARD WORK AND DETERMINATION.... YOU CAN DO IT!!...don't let anyone else tell you otherwise.

You're truly an inspiration! I'm seriously considering a drastic career change but was worried about my grades. Did you take post-bacc classes at UCLA or a different one?

there are some true haters on this board.. but i agree.. don't let anyone on here tell you that you can't become a part of this profession.
