Wondering where I stand in terms of GPA/GRE

I'm still debating career options, but I just want to see how I stand.

I have a 3.8 GPA with a BS in Biomedical Science
On my GRE I got a 160 on math, 157 on verbal, and a 3.5 in writing. Will my writing score hurt me?

I imagine the Biomedical Science degree required a number of upper-division laboratory science courses, so congratulations on the stellar GPA.
The V/Q GRE scores look great. Your verbal is 77th percentile, which should help mitigate concerns about the 3.5 AWA score. Have you contacted any of the programs to which you'll be applying? Some schools weight AWA heavier than others.

The PTCAS website has links to most PT department webpages and displays compiled applicant data.

Schools post their average GRE scores and GPAs of their incoming classes. Just look on PTCAS...

The best things I can say is by and large PT admissions are a combination of things. You have to be intelligent and hard working in the classroom, but almost equally important are your people skills. I think your GPA and GRE speak for themselves, so make sure you develop solid relationships with your letter writers. I recommend meeting up with them outside of their work place and getting dinner/coffee or something along those lines. Let them get to know you.

Your stats looks good, but don't forget that volunteer/shadowing hours in multiple settings are also importat as well as strong letters of recommendation (at least 1 from a PT) and a personal statement that will make you stand out from the other applicants

Your stats are good enough to get into any school 🙂

The writing could be better, but your stats are good enough to be competitive. However, don't forget to solidify your standing with solid letters of reference and a lot of volunteer hours. They're real important
