A really helpful page on PTCAS I found that lists the average GPA's and GRE's of accepted students for almost every program. There definitely seem to be different tiers of schools, so be sure to apply to some safety schools.
anyone here that was accepted with a lower gpa (3.0-3.3 range) but had really high GRE scores (158-170)?

study hard for those GRE's aim for 160+ in each category and 4.0+ on writing and get a big variety of observation hours, peds, acute, SNF, maybe even retake 1 or 2 courses that you may have gotten a C or B- in, it shows initiative and motivation.Planning on applying this upcoming cycle. Wondering if anyone can tell me where I can improve or what schools I should target? Any help is appreciated.

So I am a second year Biology major with a minor in neuroscience. I am lost, PT is my dream but not gpa thinks otherwise. I have a gpa of 2.37 as of right now. I am trying to bring it up. What do you guys think I should do to prepare to apply to graduate schools with possibly a low GPA? Thanks
Hello! Taking the GRE again could never hurt, although as someone who had very low GRE scores that didn't even break 150, I got into 5 schools this past cycle, which was my first cycle applying. With that being said, the GRE certainly isn't everything, so I wouldn't stress too much if I were youUpdate on my stats: wondering if i should take the GRE again to improve them? I'm extremely stressed that I won't get into any program.

I would like to apply to Ohio University and all other programs in ohio, maybe some outside the state but I've been focused on getting up my GPA, I am also retaking 2 courses this summer to boost my GPA more and taking one more prerequisite that I still need (stats)
Please let me know what you think or any programs that might be good for me to apply to!
Should I retake the GRE and try to get above 160?
