Hi all,
I am currently a junior kinesiology major at UMass Amherst and am interested in applying to DPT (physical therapy) in the upcoming Fall. I currently have applying 3.3 GPA, which I know isn’t great, am in a research lab, and have 150+ shadowing/clinical hours. I planned on applying to Simmons, AIC, and UMASS Lowell, as well as a few other. These are the schools that I beleive I MAY have a chance at getting into, although I know UMASS Lowell is getting more competitive.
What do you guys think about my chances of acceptance? I can get really good letters of recommendations from a practicing PT and my lab director if that means anything. But in terms of my GPA, do you think I can get in?
Note: I haven’t taken the GRE yet but I plan on taking this summer. Hopefully I do really well to balance out my fairly lacking GPA.
