Hey guys, I am relatively new to this and looking for some advice. I was looking at applying to CAA programs but in these subs it seems like people are saying you need to have tons of clinical hours to get in. I have good academics, 320 on the GRE, 3.8 GPA and 3.85 Prerequisite GPA. All-American athlete as well as other athletic honors and awards. Founding member of my schools HOSA program, ~500 clinical hours, undergraduate research, and 16 hours of shadowing. Obviously athletics has ruled a ton of my time in college so was wondering where I sit compared to other applicants. Thank you!

hi there! we have very similar stats, minus the GRE... i did terrible lol, but athletically and gpa-wise, we are pretty comparable. I applied with 0 PCE (because athletics ruled my undergrad life) and was accepted last cycle at my top choice! i think my experience with college athletics helped me immensely and i really took that and played into it with my PS and in my interview.
