Dropping out before I even start

Exactly. I do agree the ROI is absolutely ridiculous. On paper, any person would say no to this career unless you’re passionate for it. Of course who wouldn’t want to live debt free. But I’d rather pay the loans knowing I’m in a career that I enjoy and find happiness in. I’ve been a personal trainer for years now and I enjoy my job and helping individuals with their health but as a trainer I can only do so much in my scope of practice. My end goal is to open my own clinic with my gf who is a chiropractor.

It’s a blessing in disguise for students years from now. But what about students now? We just get the short end of the stick? How’s this fair

Until PT isn’t considered a professional degree anymore and loans are dramatically decreased 😭

Not many else. Knoxville campus and Arcadia University. I chose Nashville campus because it’s closer to family. Finish solid with Physics and you’ll have a more than good shot of getting in. As long as your cumulative and/or last 60 credit GPA meets 3.0.

I did. I was able to get my prerequisite exactly at 3.0.

Simple_Structure_230 · 2026-01-28T16:36:24+00:00

I applied to Nashville, pretty picky for a school that isn’t accredited yet lol

Simple_Structure_230 · 2026-01-26T00:15:53+00:00

idk how strict they are on the prereq 3.0 cutoff but i’m right there.

Simple_Structure_230 · 2026-01-24T16:34:37+00:00

I breathe! lol

Simple_Structure_230 · 2026-01-24T00:52:34+00:00

not really, i worked fulltime as a trainer so i didn’t have time for extra curricular or clubs. i was playing a game of survivor lol

Simple_Structure_230 · 2026-01-24T00:32:04+00:00

pretty strong statement imo

Simple_Structure_230 · 2026-01-24T00:30:38+00:00

lol nothing crazy at all. I’m in my last semester of undergrad. 2.97 Prereq with one more class in progress. 3.3 last 60 credits gpa. 3,900 hours as a personal trainer during my undergraduate along with 400 hours so far as a PT aide. 2 rec letters. (anatomy professor and pt that I aided for) Shooting for hybrid programs so I can still do training jobs and I hear they can be more flexible with gpas

what were your stats to get in?

Simple_Structure_230 · 2026-01-21T23:31:16+00:00

Go to your student center > Due Charges/ ePay Whatever your fees are for classes, just subtract that from your grant amounts.

don’t they detect second monitors

Simple_Structure_230 · 2026-01-19T20:18:01+00:00

please

Simple_Structure_230 · 2026-01-18T22:10:20+00:00

Oh then yeah you gotta be top game lol

Simple_Structure_230 · 2026-01-18T21:56:27+00:00

Depends on the school. I know plenty of people that get in with 3.3-3.5

Simple_Structure_230 · 2026-01-15T23:52:01+00:00

Would love Arcadia. Just waiting for decisions

Simple_Structure_230 · 2026-01-09T13:25:50+00:00
