Previous college transcript messing with chances..advice?

So I was young and dumb at 18, was attending a local community college and had 3 classes, two of which i had A's..the latter, a basic algebra class, unfortunately I received a D in due to me missing classes left and right.

After I continued to a university the following year, I had taken the rest of the pre reqs/science classes and applied for enrollment to PT school. Seeing the requirement that "every" university transcript must be sent had put a damper on my hopes of becoming a PT.

At my university (BS Biology) I have a 3.26 cumulative, but with the addition of the previous college PTCAS dropped my cumulative GPA to around a 3.15. I realize that PTCAS does calculate multiple GPAs, but is there any course of action I can take to help better my situation?

Maybe I'm just overthinking it and a class from 4 years ago, and a community college nonetheless will not be heavily considered?

My science GPA was around a 3.5 and pre req GPA is around a 3.3 or so.

TL;DR - Past college messing with overall cGPA, is it worth doing something about it.

The CC class is of little importance, however, what is concerning is that you cGPA (when not taking into account the precalculus class) is below average already. Also, your pre-req GPA is below average. I'd guess you might have a couple Cs floating in those prerequisites. If you don't get in, I'd recommend retaking any prerequisite class that you have a C in. If that doesn't remedy the situation retake prerequisites that you have Bs in. You will need As. Then apply strategically to schools.

Agree with the above...don't worry about the old algebra class, but focus on improving your pre req GPA instead.
