Let's just say I have too much time on my hands. I know about this time of year is when people who didn't get into PT school this year will be looking to next year. For many of you guys out there, I know the cumulative GPA is an obstacle. You can retake the GRE, retake classes to improve your prereq GPA, get better LORs, and get more observation hours, but it's pretty hard to get your cumulative GPA to budge with 120ish credits already factored into it. I looked at every accredited/candidate program on PTCAS (including those not participating in PTCAS). For those that didn't provide GPAs, I went to the school websites and tried to find them (didn't always succeed). These are the ones where average cumulative GPAs of accepted students were 3.5 or below, in order from lowest to highest. Maybe it will help someone out there target schools for next year. Good luck!
