.Heres my shameful, horrible (GPA) undergraduate story. .
.Freshman year: 1.97.
.Sophomore year: 1.77.
.Junior year: 2.05 .
.And was dismissed in spring quarter because of many repeated quarters with low gpa (< 2.0). Took 2 quarters of classes through the universitys extension program, and eventually, they let me back to complete my B.S. In the process, switched major from pure Biology to semi-science BioAnthropology. Literally, I was slaughtered by science classes; Ochem and Physics were brutal!.
.Senior year: 2.88 .
.And phew! Graduated from UCLA, but now with my abysmal 2.49 overall gpa and OT prerequisite gpa 3.9 (although I still need physiology). .
.Do you think I even have a chance with OT schools? Or even any graduate school? What should I do, be a bum forever? Please help, Ive pretty much hit bottom. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance..
.Does anyone know any OT school that has low (<2.4, doubt any exist!) gpa requirement or one that looks at last 60 or 90 units? I know San Jose State does. .
.OT is something I really want and dream to do, especially in the pediatric field. Currently, I work with special needed, developmental delay and autistic children; and seeing them, I want to do so much for them to overcome the obstacle of their special need/dependence. Whenever I see their progress or even the slightest improvement, its the most amazing feeling ever! I believe OT greatest reward is knowing "it made a difference for that one." (from the starfish story, you guys should read it).
