Hi Kristen! I've been watching your videos for a while now, but I do not think I have ever commented. I am currently in my first semester of PT school and all of these tips are so helpful. Especially the part about grades. :) Thanks for all of the amazing content!

Can you explain more about how grades don’t matter? This is the first time I’m hearing about this and i have been extremely nervous about DPT school. Thank you ! :)

[@kristennicolosi]

sure! basically- in my program as long as you scored about a 78 on each exam or competency/skills check, that was considered passing. if you were below that, you remediate or have to meet with professors. overall, GPA doesn’t matter much, jobs care more that you take & pass the NPTE to get your license & have good reccomendations from your clinical instructors, not if you have a 4.0 versus a 3.5 for example. hope this helps!

I'm not sure I'd be able to handle the cadaver labs. Can you tell me more about this?

[@kristennicolosi]

hi! it may differ by schools, but I was in a small group of 4-5 people & we all worked together to get the job done, so some people were more/less comfortable with certain tasks so we divied up the work. you got this- you aren’t the only one who is nervous!
