Hi, I am concerned with my prerequisite GPA as they are pretty low.
Here are my stats (I plan on applying cycle of 2018)
GPA => 3.26 but aim to be higher as I have one quarter left.
cGPA now => 2.83 (with retaking classes => 3.3) (Bio I = C+, Chem II = C+)
GRE = V 148 Q 157 Writing 4.0 (Plan to retake it in a month)
Activites = Member of Korean International Society (KISA), Peer tutor at writing center, Military Police at ROKAF (Republic of Korea Air Force), Inpatient hospital 640 hours (worked as a rehab aide for 6 months)
I am currently taking physics course at community college. Retaking Bio I and Chem II will drastically increase my cGPA, but my advisor and anatomy professor advised to take upper level anatomy courses instead. Without retaking prerequisites, predicted cGPA is 3.05. There are two quarters left that I can re-take or take upper level science courses. Advantage of taking advanced anatomy courses is at counteracting low cGPA taken earlier in college. Yet, I am doubtful that doing well in upper level science courses will be equivalent to the weight of 0.25 difference in cGPA.
As I have two quarters left (spring/summer) - (As Fall quarter ends in Dec 16th, most likely grades posted around 20-25th, not giving me enough time to send my application processed through PTCAS).
What should I do? I've been in distress over PT school for years, and I want to capitalize on the opportunities as much as possible!
