Hi everyone- I am super nervous about applying to OTD and Ot master programs because of my lower overall GPA and just wanted some feedback on my stats.
Overall GPA: 3.38
Last 60 GPA: 3.7
GRE: retaking September 19 because I got a 289-hoping for a 300 at least.
Observation hours:
10 in a pediatric setting ( couldn't get more with the peds OT due to COVID)
62 hours with a hand specialist OT
Work experience:
Receptionist at an Urgent Care Clinic for three years-over 6000 hours of work with patients
Extracurriculars:
Sorority member, Future OT of America club, Stem Academy Peer mentor for college freshman going into STEM majors, Bulls For Kids Dance Marathon Volunteer(personally raised over 2000 for Shriners Hospital), Undergraduate research in a music lab for one year, Tampa General Hospital Child Life and Volunteer for one year,
Letters of recommendation:
5 letters: One from biology professor, one from hand OT, one from chemistry TA, one from supervisor at work, and one from an NP I work with at my job.
Applying to:
Nova Southeastern (dream school), UF, Advent Health University, Saint Augustine University (Coral Gables Campus), and Gannon University
Any truthful advice or help is appreciated!
