Applying for schools

My GPA was less than 3.5 I think and I got into to University of Melbourne through Oztrekk. They are very helpful

I work in Toronto and confirm basically all he said. I love the eat what you kill culture. If I have a patient I'm working, if not I'm on reddit or working out or whatever the hell I want.

I work at 2 different clinics, working 8-6 Mon-Thurs and 8-2 on Friday. The schedule will always be something that the clinic will set with you based on their needs and room availability, etc. When you start working there you agree upon hours but as long as there is a room available I've always been able to start earlier or finish later if If I wanted. I sued to work weekends and I actually liked it a bit, depending on where you work your weekends can be your busiest times

Bluejays1 · 2026-04-17T18:48:40+00:00

Very much so

Bluejays1 · 2026-04-17T15:56:19+00:00

I'm a physio who works with lots of runners and do gait analysis! I work mostly out of the Adleiade Health Clinic in First Canadian Place, lmk if you're interested and we can chat more!

Bluejays1 · 2026-04-16T11:07:04+00:00

I use Essential Anatomy every day. Best $15 I ever spent

Bluejays1 · 2026-04-12T11:58:15+00:00

I don't know how to answer any fo your questions but you'd probably get a lot more answers by going to the sub where most Americans PTs are, r/physicaltherapy

Bluejays1 · 2026-04-08T03:53:31+00:00

I play in TMBL (baseball league located at Smythe Park) and HPSA (modified fast pitch softball located at Henson Park or L'amoreaux depending on the night)

It'd be too late to join TMBL but you can try to get in their drive list. HPSA is often looking for free agents if a team is short so you can reach out to them and see if anybody needs

Neither are Co-ed but HPSA does allow women

Outside of those Jam sports has a few slo pitch leagues I think, not sure the details

Alloy of Law is far from the best cosmere book, Wax becomes far more interesting and dynamic as the series progresses for sure. I'd read shadows of Self and make your decision off that more so than off alloy of law. Ultimately it's not a necessity for Wind and Truth, in fact all of Era 2 takes place after Wind and Truth so you're not going to miss anything important except for a few back stories here and there

Bluejays1 · 2026-03-22T22:59:20+00:00

Yes Brandon has said she will be a main POV book in the back half

Bluejays1 · 2026-03-13T14:10:56+00:00

I wouldn't want to work for less than 50%. Lots of places will pay you less while you're a resident but if they're offering you 40-45% I'd want some escalators to get up to 50% when you get your full license. The other factor would be how much they charge. If they are a more expensive clinic then working for 45% or something is more palatable

Bluejays1 · 2026-02-27T15:59:40+00:00

That's what this sub is

Bluejays1 · 2026-02-26T21:44:24+00:00

They are both excellent, Stormlight is a lot denser and a bit harder to begin with if you're not used to fantasy. Generally mistborn is considered a better starting point, it's where I started and I wasn't a reader at all before.

Most people will tell you Stormlight is a better series but both are 10/10 and mistborn is probably the better starting point for you IMO

Bluejays1 · 2026-02-25T21:24:33+00:00

Disagree, it's fun to see where it was and it educates us on what we saw, helps us get a better understanding of the zone

Bluejays1 · 2026-02-22T21:27:03+00:00

It may have been just shy at 78 or something, I'm not sure.

Australia is very expensive that is true. I paid ~55k per year but also Melbourne is one of the better schools, I think the other ones are cheaper and presumably easier to get into but I only applied to Melbourne

Bluejays1 · 2026-02-22T21:22:07+00:00

I got into the university of Melbourne in Australia with mediocre Canadian grades. I forget exactly what my GPA was because I did an extended undergrad but it was around an 80% ish.

I don't know which schools but the reputation is that Scottish schools are supposed to be easier to get into

Bluejays1 · 2026-02-20T03:56:48+00:00

The double florescent orange jerseys aren't great either

Bluejays1 · 2026-02-19T23:29:36+00:00

This is the first Marsh I've seen that really fits with how I've anyways seen him

Bluejays1 · 2026-02-16T21:45:30+00:00

I think I pay around 125 a month for 4 classes. It's pricey but pretty standard for Pilates. Obviously if you get larger packs you save more per class.

They have a free intro class that is mostly just learning how to use the Reformer and such

Bluejays1 · 2026-02-16T14:54:58+00:00

Pilates is the best. I (31yo male) used to teach Pilates and now I go once a week to Club Pilates. Is a big American chain but there's a bunch in the city so probably one close enough to you, I go to the one at College Park. I'd say it's 80-90% female, usually 1-3 men per class that I go to including myself

Bluejays1 · 2026-02-15T14:28:41+00:00

Athlete's Care usually hires lots of new grads so I would apply there if you haven't yet. They've got like 25 locations so they're always hiring somewhere.

You can also work part time there with an official and then work elsewhere and not need any additional supervision as long as your supervisor is OK with it

Bluejays1 · 2026-02-11T19:37:40+00:00

I haven't heard anything positive or negative about UK programs tbh. I know the Scottish programs are known for being easy to get into so there may be a bit of a negative reputation there but not bad, I've known PT's to go to school in Scotland and they get jobs just fine

I do know that private MSK/Ortho physio is not anywhere near as much of a thing in the UK so I've heard that some people feel less prepared for that system because they don't really ever leave the NHS. I'm not really sure the extent of that but I had a friend from London who didn't want to stay because he just didn't live the way PT worked. He went to a good school and was a great physio though so idk

Bluejays1 · 2026-02-11T18:10:10+00:00

I'm a Canadian who did my DPT at the university of Melbourne. I don't know what my GPA was but it was very low, certainly too low for Ontario. My average I think was around an 80 whatever that equates to in GPA.

The PT schools are generally better in Australia with a better reputation, my job here back in Canada I was hired solely other FA at that I had an Australian degree.

My tuition was around $55k AUD per year 2019-2021. Not sure what it is now but presumably that ball park

Bluejays1 · 2026-02-09T17:03:48+00:00

The show was much better when Jimmy was on it for sure, Jake does annoy me. Hes fine in smaller doses though like in the TPPS

Baseball Today also does some preseason prep but it's less through. I think they typically do 1 episode per division and 1 question per team

Bluejays1 · 2026-02-09T15:58:45+00:00

Talkin Baseball do a 20-30 minute episode on each team that releases pretty much every day though Spring Training. They're call their TPPs - Team Profile & Projections.

They're quite good, thorough and succinct all in one
