A 2.3 GPA Got Into PT School — Here's Exactly How

Can you get into PT school with a low GPA? In this video, I break down how a student with a 2.3 GPA got into a DPT program and what Pre-PT students can do to strengthen their PT school application. Many pre-physical therapy students worry that a low GPA means their dream of becoming a physical therapist is over. But after speaking directly with DPT programs at the CSM conference, I learned how admissions committees actually evaluate applicants — and why GPA isn't the only factor that matters. In this video you'll learn: • How a 2.3 GPA student still got accepted into PT school • What DPT admissions committees really look for • How holistic admissions can offset a low GPA • Whether the GRE can help your PT school application • How to stand out with observation hours, volunteering, and experience • Creative ways students have caught the attention of admissions committees We also talk about major trends affecting PT school admissions right now, including: • How some programs evaluate AI-written personal statements • Why financial aid changes may affect future PT students • How to increase your chances of getting off the PT school waitlist If you're a Pre-PT student applying to DPT programs, this video will help you understand how admissions really works and what you can do today to become a stronger applicant. If you’re applying to PT school soon, drop your GPA or biggest concern about applying in the comments and I’ll help guide you. __________________________________________ Sign up for a strategy session to review your PT application drjustinleedpt.com/coaching __________________________________________ PrePT playlists Pre-PT Videos:    • Is Prereq or Overall GPA More Important fo...   DPT Hawaii Life:    • Transition to Hawaii | Last Episode | Ep. ...   DPT School Vlogs (all 3 years):    • VLOGS in PT School | ALL 3 YEARS!   WHAT I LEARNED AFTER DPT SCHOOL    • What I Learned AFTER Finishing DPT School ...   WISH I KNEW THIS BEFORE DPT SCHOOL    • Wish I knew this BEFORE Physical Therapy S...   Is Physical Therapy worth 110K debt?    • Is being a Physical Therapist Worth the DE...   __________________________________________ Helpful videos for Pre PT Students: What is Physical Therapy?    • What is Physical Therapy   Is Physical Therapy worth 110K debt?    • Is being a Physical Therapist Worth the DE...   How to Make Money as a DPT Student    • How to MAKE MONEY as a Physical Therapy St...   Best Majors for Physical Therapy School    • Best Majors for Physical Therapy School   Tips to Stand Out as a Physical Therapy School Applicant    • Tips to Stand Out as a Physical Therapy Sc...   How to be a Successful Incoming PT Student    • How to be the MOST SUCCESSFUL Incoming DPT...   How to Ace your PT Aide Interview    • How to ACE your INTERVIEW for a Physical T...   Differences between PT and PTA    • PT vs PTA | What are the Differences Betwe...   __________________________________________ Follow me on instagram and tiktok: instagram.com/drjustinleedpt   / drjustinleedpt   #physicaltherapy #ptschool #physicaltherapyschool
