Does Kinesiologist experience increase chances?

[physiosomeday 0]

Hi. Upon graduating from uni i decided to find employment as a KIN to gain more relevant work experience. I was just wondering if there were others who were also a KIN and got into PT? Or those who were a KIN and did not get in?

 

Thanks!

I worked as a kin before applying and became a physio. It all depends on how you portray the experience of being a kin on your applications. overall it's a positive but if you come off as a know it all just because you worked as a kin - no bueno

It may depend on where you are applying. I noticed when I did my applications that some schools seemed to care more about experience than others. Queen's and Western both had emphasis on experience. Mac and U of T were more about assessing if you'd make a good clinician (problem solving, communication, leadership, etc).
