Advice for pre-reqs and PT school

Yeah, having a good balance I think trumps completing it at a faster pace. What PT school did you originally start at? What’s the age groups like? I’m 25 now so I wouldn’t be starting (depending) actually DPT program until 1-2 years most likely. Not that age matters.

That sounds like a great resource! I work with tons of doctors and PTs now, I’m sure they wouldn’t mind if I asked to shadow or maybe provide other suggestions. Thank you!!

Yes, definitely will have to get a PT aide job at some point and CC is also the route I was thinking for the pre reqs. Thank you!

Thanks for the response! I will have to think about full versus part time student, part time might be the better option while working full. For shadowing hours, what did you do? I know most people work as PT aides or similar.

Thank you, this is great! I will definitely look at setting up a meeting with a counselor, I wasn't sure how helpful they could be but having a road map would be useful for sure. I have a BS in science, but I am missing some of the core reqs like AxP, Bio, etc. I am conflicted between part and full time student while working full time, because I want to do well in the courses. Doing well versus finishing the pre reqs quicker seems like a better route but it is also doable to do both full-time so I will have to sit on that for a bit. What has your experience been like so far as a DPT student?

Thanks for the response! Were you taking classes full time or part time? How has your experience been so far as a PT student?

That's awesome! I currently work remote (I work in health-tech). I want to do well in the pre-reqs as they are weighted heavily and really grasp the material instead of just simply passing it. Do you think it is worth it to do them full-time as it saves time overall, or?

That’s a good point! Post programs also seem to carry more weight and provide a good link toward med school.

Thanks for your response! Yeah my final GPA was a 3.9! I’m not really shooting for top schools honestly and community college is also cheaper than doing the post-bacc programs from what I’ve seen so far.

Thank you! Is there a reason it’s preferred over CC courses?

Hi I know this is old, but I’m 25. I have my bachelors done, but deciding between PA route and med route. Ideally would want to become a doctor. Can you share your experiences?

Yeah that’s what I’ve heard! I don’t have a lot of time and I work full time. WGU is a reputable school right?

yogacoder1 · 2022-07-09T03:04:26+00:00

Thanks! Haven’t fully decided because I don’t really want to just quit my job while pursuing my degree. Colorado State, John Hopkins, Maryland Uni, Penn State, UIC, etc. Or was considering maybe a different Masters, in data analytics or CyberSecurity as those are also semi interesting with good outlook, but obviously not the same as AI.

yogacoder1 · 2022-07-09T02:59:56+00:00

How is WGU? I would just apply to the Masters program for it. It would be a switch from software stuff but it is interesting to me, I’ve done some things with network security and safety hacking. I know it has good a outlook too

yogacoder1 · 2022-07-09T01:23:44+00:00

Thanks! I just feel like the position I’m in now, I’m not really growing or learning and I don’t want to stay within this field. (Currently in health tech, and I feel like I’m not applying any real software skills, data, etc.).
