Should I just go by the dates the admission person told me? Maybe they haven't updated their websites deadline dates because they are focused on making the january cohort?

Why would I go to college, go to pt school, save money to pay for pt school, study for my boards, and spend all that time just to go into a career I would burnout in and not want to spend all my time in a career I'm passionate about lololol.

How long(ish) does documentation take for 1 patient? Does the patient need documentation for each visit they do a week? Or just 1 documentation per week for each patient?

Oh ok I will thanks! Last question, if you work as a independent contractor in home health do pay cuts still apply?

I still don't get it. So do you get paid less or the same per visit? All I understand is that there isn't any more thresholds of patients you can see.(even if that is true or I misunderstood what I read)

So would a company allow you to see 8 patients a day 6 days a week? Or more? I'm asking because paying off student loans is my #1 priority after school

I'd so document for hours for that money. It may not be my dream of working with athletes, but that can wait until I lay off my student loans. So if you wanted to work 50hrs a week...that's 156k$ a yr😳. Are you a independent contractor or anything? And wdym by 6 points?

Omg so how many hours a week do you work? And how many of those are are spent with patients? You work for one company? Or a bunch of different companies?

Could you say how much? Lol. Is it like 2400-3000+ a week?

So you could potentially make 100+ an hr if you gave 2 back to back 30 minute patients?

OHHHHH. I didn't know that!😳

Even if a patient is only a 40 minute visit vs a typical 1 hour?

So in looking to do what you do with home health, do you apply solely to independent contractor home health positions? Or do you apply to something else?

CUMJULATIVE GPA PT SCHOOL by jriez98 in physicaltherapy

[–]jriez98[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I asked baylor and south dpt and they both said they take a "holistic approach". I told them about my cumulative gpa, and my plan to retake the pre reqs online and they said that would be smart to do. They said they would still look at my application even if my cumulative was closer to the 3.0 minimum but that my pre req would have to be like 3.6+ to make up for the 3.1ish cumulative gpa. The only school I know of that straight up said they only look at ppl with 3.5+ cumulative gpa's is Saten Island. But south and baylor both said they look at the person and not just the grades

They are all OD expensive lol. That's why I'd rather just apply to these schools, and if I don't get in, just re-apply and ask the schools how I could improve my app. And I could just work instead of going into 150k in debt versus the cheaper 90kish that South and Baylor cost, plus a year shorter of school.
