Update: I just got a call from Rockhurst wanting to schedule an interview! woohoo!
Figured it was time for me to add my stats onto the growing list.
University: Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP)
Major: Early Chilldhood / Elementary Education
Overall GPA: 3.92 (when I graduated)
Overall GPA now: 3.89 (after taking my pre-reqs)
Pre-Req GPA: 3.83 (Sci & Math), 3.79 (Sci), 3.72 (all pre-reqs)
GRE: 420V, 640V, 4.5A -- 490V, 590Q, ?A -- scheduled to re-take Oct 23
Extra-Curric: I am a certified spinning instructor, Les Mills BodyPump instructor, CPR/AED/First Aid certified, during my undergrad I did a lot of volunteer work/activities/part-time jobs, but since I am now in the "real world" I work 40 hours a week and teach 6 exercise classes a week.
Volunteer: 100+ hours of volunteer work between Out-patient, In-patient, pediatrics, visiting nurses association, etc, etc. I have seen almost all of it with the few volunteering stints I did.
(I noticed a lot of people have WAY more volunteer hours... that is so commendable... Since I am "older" and work full-time M-F I don't have much time for volunteering, especially when most clinics/hospital PTs are done by 3-4pm... Hopefully not having as many hours won't be a downfall...)

Congratulations!!!! I got my certified mail today for Southwest Baptist University. Im accepted, they didn't interview. I still have three interviews (Temple 11/12; RFUMS 11/20, Shenandoah University 12/16). Even thought Southwest Baptist is not ranked and not my number one school. At least I know I will be in a program and on my way to being a PT. This forum has been such a big help to me in the past and I know it will be in the future. I come on here to get some advice and value everyones opinions. Thank you everyone!!!!Got my Pittsburgh acceptance e-mail this morning...
Good luck. You'll definitely get into Nova, FIU, UNF. FIU is still more expensive even for an instater. Ive gotten accepted to out of state programs that are cheaper than FIU.Just sent everything! It was so stressful, the more I reviewed my application, the more I found stuff that I thought was wrong with it. So, I just submitted it. We'll see what happens.
