I am hugely torn as to whether or not I should apply this fall, or wait till next fall.
I am taking the GRE's end of June, so that will be done. I am *pretty* sure all my pre-req's will be done (lets just assume they are...!)
I go to the University of Michigan and my current GPA is like a 3.7something
My issue is the volunteering and letter of recommendations:
I just recently decided to apply to PT school (well, like a year ago), and have been volunteering, and never really looked into specific requirements (dumb, i know). THe thing is, while I have been doing some Hippotherapy with a physical therapist, along with therapeutic riding (not with a PT, but obviously PT related), I dont think this falls under the "inpatient and outpatient" volunteering required by some schools!!
I am going to Spain this summer, so there is NO way I can do it this summer. The soonest I could start would be late Sept, but apps for some schools are already starting to be accepted by Oct, Nov....
Also, letter of reqs: I am getting one from the PT i have been doing the Hippotherapy with, as well as from the other place I volunteer....
I plan on getting one from my professor (who I *think* is really well known in the PT field), but my issue is that a lot of schools require TWO academic ones...
I simply do not have another one. I could ask my orgo prof, but she barely knew me (she did at least know my name...), but honestly, she is sadly my best bet...but I am scared to ask since she doesnt really know me...
So argggg...I just dont know what to do
