Medical Graduate Programs With A Business Degree?
After 18 years in the auto industry and yet another bad layoff, I have concluded that I made a horrible career decision long ago. Once upon a time, I had a dream of pursuing a medical education in college (perhaps physical or occupational therapy), but somewhere down the line I went with my second choice and obtained a Business Admin degree. My question now is this: What can I reasonably look at as far as a career change and reschooling (possibly in a master’s program)? Can I even be accepted into say a physician assistant program with a business background, or am I stuck on this deadend path indefinitely?
What Colleges In Ny Can I Transfer To To Complete My Graduate Work For A Doctorate Of Physical Therapy?
Posted by admin in Careers in PT on February 16, 2010
Right now I am a high school senior pursuing the career of physical therapy. I have been accepted to Ithaca, Nazareth, and SUNY Brockport. Because of money issues, Brockport seems like my cheapest choice, however, I have to transfer to another school to do my graduate work. I applied to Upstate Medical for early admission and was denied because every spot was already filled. I contacted the school and they said I can still apply within the three years of my study at Brockport, but there is not a 100% chance I will be accepted. Should I just take out the painful student loans and go to a private school, or take a chance of not being accepted to Upstate Medical? Or what other graduate schools can I apply to for my doctorate?
What Should I Do When I Graduate High School?
I am a junior in high school and don’t know what I want to do with my life. I know I want to go to college, but I don’t know what to major in. My ideas have been psychology, echo-cardiology, physical therapy, and education. I want a job where I can help people, but the medical field is limited because I am really squeamish and can’t stand the sight of blood or vomit. And I want a job that I can make good money, not because I am greedy and money obsessed, but because I will be responsible for my father who is physically disabled. I have about a 3.45 gpa so it can’t be lawyer or anything too prestigious. Any ideas?? Thanks!
Need Suggestions For Graduate School. Which One?
I have a bachelors in business and want to go to grad school. The problem is that I am really really not sure about which grad schools to consider. I was thinking about an MBA, Law School, and even physical therapy.
Problem is that my GPA is only slightly above 3.0 and have not been able to get a lot of good work experience over the past 2 years due to the economy. I am sure that I would want to go to grad school though. I find the employment market for people holding just a bachelors and little experience just too tough.
Could somebody please provide me with some advice into which grad schools I should look with more detail?
Thanks
Physical Therapy Graduate School?
Posted by admin in Careers in PT on January 9, 2010
What are my chances of getting into physical therapy grad school. I am going to be a senior next year at my college and currently have a 3.5 GPA Most likely will end up with a 3.7. My major is Movement Science. The downside to that is that i have 3 C’s on my transcript all science classes (Anatomy, Physiology, and Biology II)
I’ve heard its really difficult to get in and have also looked at other professions such as occupational therapy (people say its a little less intense to get into), I also plan on shadowing at least once a week at a physical therapy clinic this summer. And I also have my GRE coming up soon! What else should I do??
