<p>I currently attend GMC-Sandersville (which is a CC for those of you unaware), and I am planning on transferring to GSU next Fall. I will NOT have an associates degree because I am only in my first year at GMC. </p>
<p>Last year (my senior year in high school), I graduated with a 3.8 GPA. My SAT scores were: 550-Math, 450-Reading, 550-Writing. My ACT scores were: 26-English, 25-Math, 19-Reading, 25-Science, 24-Composite. I played softball my sophomore year, but that was the only sport I participated in. I was in Beta Club from 10th-12th grades, FBLA 12th grade, and graduated with honors.</p>
<p>Even though I didn't have great extracurricular activities, I was accepted to Georgia Southern out of high school, however, I wasn't quite sure what I wanted to major in and heading straight off to college right out of high school didn't seem appealing to me, and I had already planned on attending GMC before I received my acceptance letter from GSU. But now I am sure that athletic training is what I want to do and my parents and siblings are about to drive me crazy if I don't get out soon, so I plan on going to GSU next year. </p>
<p>I guess my question is, is the athletic training program at GSU a good one? I know it is accredited. And are the professors nice? </p>
<p>Also, once I (hopefully) get a degree in athletic training, should I pursue a master's in physical therapy or sports medicine if all I plan on doing is (hopefully) becoming a head athletic trainer at the high school level? I know it would increase pay, but is it worth going to school two (or however many) extra years?</p>
