Hello! I am currently a junior at a Florida highschool. I don't currently have my GPA handy, but my average of all my classes is a 96, which is fairly consistent. I've always been a great student (have been apart of Johns Hopkins for years, for accepted into Princeton programs as a freshman, etc) however I tend to underestimate myself. I've wanted to be an OT since my freshman year and I haven't found anything else that interests me like this does. However all I've been reading about is how competitive OT schools are, and that really worries me. I love the field, but I'm not sure if it's worth the risk of taking a certain path to become an OT during my undergrad and then ending up not getting accepted into the graduate school. So, how do you think I can lessen this worry? I'm considering psychology as my undergrad, and I can't really do anything with that degree standing alone haha. Do you have any suggestions for better undergrads that I can use if I don't get accepted or do you think psychology is a solid choice? I'm just having so many worries about this and I'm not sure if I'm just freaking myself out. Any input would be more than appreciated, thank you so much.
