Hello, all members of Pre-PT forum. I am a prospective student expecting return to school 2016 fall as a sophomore, who's looking into Graudate PT program for further studies.
First, to explain my situation, I've already taken Anat, Bio, Chem courses without unwanted grades (Occasional A's, mostly Bs, and some C's). Due to this low science grade, my worries and frustration grows bigger daily, but I'll deal with that problem through retaking some of courses. The problem I encountered during checking taken-courses, and courses to take, I was given two choices as below
1. Health Electives (Advanced Anatomy I, Advanced Anatomy II, Developmental Anatomy, Physiology, Pathophysiology, Exercise Physiology, Applied Anatomy & Kinesiology, Sectional Anatomy and Neuro Science).
2. Optional Courses for Exercise Science (Exercise Physiology, Applied Anatomy and Kinesiology, Musculoskeletal Pathophysiology, Special Topics in Health and Sciences, Senior Research Project, Nutrition courses)
First option allows the advantage of proving my ability to learn and adapt science materials and undo my poor performance in previous years (with this option, there will be probably insubstantial time to invest on re-taking courses)
Second option allows the advantage of still-taking anat/phys related courses, but to easily score A's and undo my poor performance as well. (with this option, I'll probably re-take pre-req courses)
I know that pre-reqs are the most critical part of application in GPA category, but I wanted to hear advices from graduates and current physical therapists who are walking in journey of my dream.
