@mh0408 I applied for the Flex program, not the full time-program (which is much more competitive). I was concerned about my GPA and I had some pre-req classes incomplete at the time that I applied (both semester physics and physio). Most schools will only allow you to be missing two pre-req classes, USA allowed 3 so it was the only school that I applied to. I wasn't super hopeful about getting in this application cycle but decided I might as well try. If I didn't get in I would have applied for the full-time program for Fall 2016.
College: UC San Diego
Major: Human Development
GPA 3.11 (probably around 3.3 with post bacc CC courses)
pGPA 3.1-3.2 (with 4 pre-reqs taken at community college)
GRE: 325 (161V, 164Q), 5.5 Writing
PT Observation Hours: 550+
- 200 Hospital inpatient setting in a variety of units
-350 Outpatient clinic/athletic training facility
From a GPA stand point my application was really weak, with C's in Bio and Chem and a low B in Stats. I didn't take school very seriously as an undergrad, especially my first 2.5 years. I think the only thing that really helped me GPA wise was that I rededicated myself to studying in community college (4.0 in the 40 units that I've taken). I'm sure my GRE score helped my application, and I had a good relationship with the people who wrote recommendations for me.
Overall, I feel blessed to get in with how competitive the application process is becoming. If you're super concerned about how competitive your application is, maybe consider Flex, although it's not for everyone. What I like about the Flex program is I have the opportunity to work while going to school and hopefully come out of school with a little less debt. Also, I'm relatively young and I could do a lot worse than being a student in sunny San Diego for the next four years
