So I have been in quite a predicament for the last month about applying to pt school this cycle 2017-2018, or the next cycle 2018-2019.
My current statistics include:
University: University of Louisville
Major: Exercise Science
Minor: Wellness Coaching
Overall GPA: 3.93
Pre-Req GPA: ~3.73 (only including one year of biology/chemistry/anatomy & physiology/physics with labs)
GRE: ~295, 4.0 (I have not taken the actual GRE yet, but will in a few days;however, this was my most recent practice exam score- I am awful at standardized tests)
Extra-Curric: work-study student (have had to work during my "free-time" due to money and priority of achieving good grades)
Volunteer: Louisville Grows and Bernie Sanders Campaign (I plan on volunteering A LOT more during my senior year, but unfortunately, will not be able to include those on the app if I apply this year)
Observation: ~80 hours inpatient (job shadowing), ~80 hours outpatient (job shadowing), ~132 hours outpatient (interning)
I think it is also worth mentioning that I will be doing research with one of my professors this fall, volunteering at least once a month, and getting a job PRNing at the place I am currently interning.
If anyone is willing to give me advice about whether I should apply this year, or wait until next year- I would greatly appreciate it!
