Hey guys! I am a sophomore exercise science major at slippery rock university and I am looking into OT schools. I am looking into applying to Chatham, Pitt, Toledo, and Ohio State when that time comes (I know its still a little far off). Currently my GPA is a 3.7 . Sophomore year tends to be the roughest for exercise science so this semester was rough for me. I got a C in anatomy and physiology (it was a 79% so not fair) and now I am feeling extremely discouraged. I am retaking the course but I am just worried if OT programs look down on that. I also got a C in biomechanics (I know its not a common OT prereq) and I am retaking that class as well.
I am in lots of clubs and organizations and I volunteer often on campus. I also have a gerontology and psychology minor. I am on the e board of the sophomore's honor society and an exercise physiology tutor. I also plan on becoming the exercise physiology lab assistant.
For volunteer hours for OT school, I have 100 hours in in-patient and 100 hours with a hand therapist (considered out-patient)
Sorry this post is soo long !! I am just looking for advice on what else to do and prepare for the future of applying to OT schools. I would also like to know about this retaking classes situation! It is causing me a lot of doubt as of now.
