Worried prePT student

Hello, I'm an public health undergrad trying to get into PT school, but I have been dealing with the fallout from a serious and long bout of depression coupled with recovering from a recent concussion and assault for a couple terms and my science grades have slipped pretty badly. Because of my financial and living situation, I can only look at one maybe two schools. I live in Portland so I'm looking at Pacific university, but I'm worried I won't be able to bring my science and math GPA to the 3.2 I need to even get into admissions. The only other option would be to transit up to seattle, but I have a kid at home and paying for a mortgage and an apartment would get spendy fast. How badly screwed am I with not being able to look at different schools?

Hey, you might want to look into George Fox University.

I looked at them, but they are a non option for me. Not only am I not Christian, I disagree with forcing people to pay for and attend a weekly church ritual to graduate. Add in the fact that I'm not straight and like to have a beer now and than, I don't think I'd be welcome there.

Doesn't matter

Beggars can't be choosers

Give them a call, I think you might be surprised how different your perception is from reality.
