Hello! I’ve recently come across your blog and I amazed at your work. I am interested in becoming a PT as well, but I am currently discouraged at the pricing of schools and my grades for certain prerequisites. I’ve read (so far in your blog) that personality and experience are important during interviews. In your experience, do you think grades are what catch interviewers eyes based on applications? Any information would help for an aspiring PT. Thanks, and good luck!

Thanks for the kind words! Each school has different standards and ways of handling grades. While some schools throw out applications below a certain GPA, others are more inclined to look at the applicant as a whole. Is it possible for you to retake some of those classes? Is there an important reason why those grade are low that can be explained well in an essay? Either way, I’d encourage you to reach out to schools you’re interested in applying to and see if they can offer any suggestions. Good luck!
