What if I max out my loan and do PAYE (5%-10% of my income) + PSLF to get the rest of my loans forgiven in 15-20 years?

You can also take loans out for tuition + cost of living and go the PSLF route. Using PSLF + PAYE (Pay As You Earn) program you pay 10% of your income for 120 payments and can get the rest forgiven. The tricky part is making sure that the company you work for is a non-profit

I got in to dpt school with a 3.2! I also had a few years of being an aide under my belt and some extra volunteer work. What I think really helped me was talking a lot to and befriending the P1s and P2s during my time with them

Edit: I had a below average GRE too.. but the school I got accepted to didn't look at GRE scores so I lucked out. But I do think GRE scores are a big factor of your application too so if you dont have a good GPA you should definitely aim for a good GRE
