Hey everyone! I'm new to the forum and wanted to take some time to see how my stats might stack up since I've started working on applications this cycle.

Major: BS in psychology w/ Spanish minor
GPA: 3.85
Pre-requisite GPA: 3.58. A in everything but B in A&P II and C in physics unfortunately.
Shadowing hours: 160 at OT-led summer camp for four summers in a row where I volunteered, 18 hours at peds clinic and 15 hours at a school, 18 hours doing the KECK virtual pre-OT summer program.
Extracurriculars: Writing tutor for a year at my college, working as a rehab tech at a rehab hospital since May, babysitting kids with disabilities, club member at college serving people with disabilities, presented a psychology project and Spanish project at my school's research conference.
GRE: Taking it August 4th and still pretty bad in quant. I've been getting 146ish quant scores in practice tests and around 160 in verbal.

Applying to: Augusta University, Lenoir-Rhyne, UNC Chapel Hill, and maybe Shenadoah and St. Augustine (though I've heard it doesn't have the greatest reputation?).

I'm mostly worried that I don't have enough leadership experience since I had bad social anxiety most of college and didn't join many organizations. Also kinda worried about that C in physics but it's only a pre-req at Augusta anyway.

Hi! Applied last cycle with very similar stats and background (BS in Special Ed, lots of experience with kids with disabilities). Two of the schools I applied to were UNC and Lenoir Rhyne. I did not get an interview at UNC (not sure why) but I was accepted to LR with no interview needed. I ended up at a different program though. As long as your other application components are strong I think you have a great shot! Good luck!
