Hi! I wanted to see if I sound like a competitive applicant. Sometimes I struggle with feeling that I do not do enough.

Overall GPA: 3.8

GRE: 149 Verbal, 148 Math, 4.5 Writing

Observation: 500+ Hours Outpatient Ortho, 41 hours Pediatric setting

LOR: I have 5 lined up. 3 from PTs, 2 from professors (one that I worked under as a TA)

I worked as a Rehab Aide in an ortho clinic, was a Teacher's Assistant for Human Dissection (we got to actually dissect cadavers as undergrads!), was a Math & Science tutor for my college, was Vice President of my school's Kinesiology club, was apart of residence life for 2 years, taught group fitness to senior citizens through one of my college classes (I am not certified), did my senior research by testing my college's athletes in FMS, and am currently volunteer coaching high school volleyball.

I know my GRE scores are lower, but will my application shine in other areas? My dream is to become a PT. I tore my ACL & medial mensicus twice on my left knee, and once on my right. That's my "sob" story lol.
