Major: Biology
Minor: Chemistry & Psychology
Overall GPA: 2.62
Prereq GPA: 3.61 without including my chem physics and bio labs because they were separate from the actual lecture (lecture 3 credits lab 1 credit) so I'm not sure if the labs are included in the prereq GPA, but I receives A's in all 6 of those classes
GRE: 4.0 writing and combined 298 I don't really remember what I got on both portions but I know combined it was 298
I was the President of Operation Smile at my school as well and I played intramural sports not sure if that really counts as an extracurricular or not
I have over 100 just volunteer hours but both the physical therapy places where I volunteered hired me as a Physical Therapy Tech and I know some schools (University of St Augustine) accepts hours working under a PT as well, and I work at least 30 hours a week combined at both places so I have an abundance of hours. I also assume if they liked me enough to hire me they would be able to write a pretty good reference letter. As well as these outpatient hours I've had hours doing co-treatments with occupational therapist and physical therapist when I was initially volunteering with an OT in a hospital, nursing home, and children's setting.
I was basically just wondering if I really stand a chance at all with my low overall GPA. As you can tell I had a ton of fun in college and really didn't study much at all, which is why my overall GPA is so low. I really want to apply to the University of St. Augustine (preferably the St. Augustine campus but I would go to any of them) and I know they only look at the prerequisite GPA if I've read everything correctly. I just want to know if I actually stand a chance at getting in and if anyone knew of any other schools for me to look into. I'm really trying to go to school anywhere in 2013 I just want to start school ASAP.
PS the other day Drexel University sent me an application that had all my information already filled out and waived the application fee, but I wasn't sure what was up with that because I saw they required a minimum 3.0 GPA, which I do not have.
