Hey whats up guys. So I am looking to apply to the 2017 cycle and I was looking to see what I can do to strengthen my application. I am taking some pre reqs and going to get some more observational hours in different settings (along with taking the GRE). Not sure what else should I do if anything else?

This completely depends what your stats look like now.

My stats are pretty mediocre at this point and time, but I already have a set game plan in terms of what classes I am going to take/retake for this next year so I am good on that end.

I'm actually currently a rehab tech after already having 2 years experience as an aide. At this point I was just seeing if there was anything outside the norm I should do to strengthen my application

Perhaps, you should start thinking about what you want to write in your essays. What about you is unique and will make you stand out in a sea of applicants?

I found this to be a great general resource for the whole application process.
