jmgibson527 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Hi! I was just wondering if anyone from the University of Saint Francis- New Mexico program can post their stats (GPA, Health Care Experience, etc.) I didn't get in and I was wondering what to do to improve my chances. Here's my info: B.S. in Biology Overall GPA: 3.75 Pre-requisite GPA- 3.5 Health Care Experience: 700+ hours as a physical therapy technician I had not taken Microbiology, and I got an email from Tony Romero stating that he would like me to re-apply Any info/opinions would be nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nancy D Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Hey! Looks like you are a great candidate. I bet having Micro will up your chances easily. My undergrad is in Mechanical Engineering my pre req GPA was 4.0 I have three years of volunteer work at Presbyterian ER, Ambercare Hospice and at a Women's health clinic as a counselor and medical assistant. Please let me know if you have any questions! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SurgeryD Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Hi. I am a bio major. My GPA is only a 3.45 but have a ton of experience as an EMT (have been one for almost 4 years). I have a lot of volunteer hours in hospitals, shelters and hospitals out of the country. I got an interview. Hoping I will get accepted! Hope this helps. Oh.. and my GRE scores were really bad ... :S So I think they took my experience into consideration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAruby Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 @dvnnov - the fact that you got an interview means they think you're capable of completing the program, so make sure you show the real you at your interview. I was a paramedic for 2 years and an EMT for 3, and the experience definitely came in to consideration I think... Now that you have the interview, the GPA and GRE aren't so big of a deal (and don't feel bad about the GRE, I got the minimum score too and they still picked me!) The interview is about seeing how well your talents, skills etc fit into the program and how the program fits you - if it's a match, you'll be golden! Good luck, see you at your interview!

SurgeryD Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 @aliclark712 : I had to decline the interview. I was under the impression that classes started in June 2013. Due to the start date I would be unable to attend if accepted so... oh well... Thanks for feedback!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Temoc123 Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I recently got an interview probably by divine intervention. 3.45 overall GPA, 3.0 science GPA. Minimum requirement GRE score. I've been working as a Physical Therapy Tech for ~1 year now and have about 900 hours of work experience. Lots of volunteering and leadership experience from various clubs on campus. I think my volunteering and leadership + my personal statement is what got me the interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucidEyes Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 What about GRE scores? Their website says a score of at least 500 in both the verbal and quantitative portions plus a 4.0 verbal. I would like to apply buy my verbal score I took in 2009 was 460. Do you think it would be a wasn't of time to apply anyway? What did you guys get on your GRE?

PAruby Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 @ lucideyes - i'm not sure I'd call it a "waste of time"... my GRE scores were at 510 and 590 (higher in math).... it probably depends a lot on your other course grades. If the rest of your application is stellar, why not give it a shot?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
