2017 Pt/ot Applicant

[PTOT2017]

Hi I was wondering what my chances of admission are for PT or OT at any Canadian school. I have a decent sub GPA but my cumulative is very low. Also what are the chances of practicing here in Canada if I decide to study abroad? Thanks for any help.

 

SUB-GPA: 3.7

Cumulative-GPA: 3.2

Over 1000 hours shadowing a PT at a PT clinic

For OT you do have a competitive gpa. I am not sure about PT.

Thanks for your reply. What do you think about going abroad for PT or OT?

Thanks for your reply. What do you think about going abroad for PT or OT?

PT and OT are fairy different fields first of all. I know PT is slightly easier abroad like in Australia depending on the school, but it is very expensive (around 50k a year for like University of Sydney). You can check OzTREKK if you are interested in Australia, I heard they have good programs. 

For PT your gpa is kinda low, would be competitive around the high 3.7's

You can also go to Ireland for PT, I know University College Dublin accepts Canadians. If I recall correctly, a PT degree in Ireland takes 2 years whereas in Australia it's 3 years

University of Sydney and University of Queensland in Australia are 2 year Masters degree. Not all the schools in Australia are 3 years. 

Yeah, I heard University College Dublin accepts Canadians but class sizes are really small which makes it more competitive.

You can also apply through Oztrekk to the PT schools in Australia and if you do, every school except UofSydney will waive your application fee. So, it would be nice to know if you have a chance of getting in.
