Does A Prestigious Premedical School Give You Leeway Into Med School If You Don’t Have The Grades?
I attend a small liberal arts college known for high acceptance rates into medical school however I am not doing exceptionally well, which is what is required for med school. It is extremely expensive and I am paying for my own education. I have the option of transferring to a school with a lot more career oriented options such as physical and occupational therapy and other health professions. From there I would like to pursue a career then apply to med school. Is it really worth it to stay at a school were my gpa is ok and has the potential of getting worse in comparison to somewhere cheaper where I know I can maintain a better one? Should i salvage my gpa while I can?

Posted by admin in Careers in PT on February 24, 2010
Oh kay, I’m a senior, I’ll be 17 next month, like that matters ha. And I’ve been thinking about being a Physical Therapy Assistant.. as my career.. So I’ve been doing so much research and it’s honestly getting annoying cause every school I find is online or in another state, so I was starting to wonder if you even have to go to school to be a Physical Therapy Assistant? I live in Pennsylvania if that helps at all for any reason..
How Healthy Am I Considering I Have Cf?( Cystic Fibrosis)?
im wondering…… i am SO SCARED of when i get older because i have cystic fibrosis (was diagnosed at 8 months) and i am now 14. i have a fairly healthy life. in physical education in school im NEVER at the back if we have cross country. im more like at the top of the middle. the last time i was in hospital with a really bad cough was when i was about 9. i haven’t had any serious infections in a long time. i keep having antibiotics every 3 months. im never out of breath. i sometimes go through days without a little cough. even when i do, nothing comes up. more or less a dry cough. im just very scared when im older as people with cf haven’t got a long life-span. 
i don’t want to die young. how bad is my condition for cf? i hardly ever need physio therapy. i do well in sports. i ride horses A LOT and i am an advanced rider. i have my own horses. how bad is my condition?
thanks!

My Gpa Is 3.82, Do I Still Have A Chance Getting To Good Colleges?
I’m a senior in highschool in Saudi Arabia. The problem is that the ministry of education have always had the system where only the last year of highschool is calculated in the general high school certificate and this system continued for over than 20 years.
I used to have some good grades until I had discovered in my junior year that I have a mild to moderate case of spine deformity which can cause some pain if no serious action taken. So I went to physical therapy three times and went from a doctor to another and pain started to show up in my sophomore year Which resulted in getting 94% (that’s equivalent to 3.71 in the US system).
After that the ministry of education decided to calculate the GPA starting from the last 2 years instead of the last, if only I knew it’d happen I’d withdraw from school till my back gets better.
So I’m in my last year, I worked so hard that I started to burn out and get way too depressed.

I have chronic fatigue syndrome/ME/CFIDS.
There are other symptoms like low blood pressure, sleep difficulties, depression, but mainly I just feel SICK AND EXHAUSTED ALL THE TIME.

I’ve been to the cleveland clinic for diagnosis, therapists, psychiatrists, homeopaths, energy healers, alternative doctors, physical therapists, ent doctors, heart doctors, basically ANY kind of general doctor specializing in an area like the heart, lung, etc.

What Are Some Universities That Provide Riding Programs And Have Pet Physical Therapy?
Posted by admin in Careers in PT on February 7, 2010
being that it’s time to start looking at colleges, i was wanting to continue with equine sports, and i also would like it to be part of my career, which is why i would like to work on pet physical therapy… i know that a friend of my family has a dog that goes through it often, and it seems like a better alternative to the veternary schooling, i’d rather work on rehab than the actual blood.
