"I just recently graduated Long Island University with a BS in biology. I had a GPA of 3.2 and a GRE score of 710. I tried to apply to physical therapy schools, however, I was not accepted due to my GRE score and a couple UW on my transcript which brought down my science and math GPA. I tried to look into retaking the GRE and trying to improve my score but I find it real hard to study on my own therefore I would of looked forward into a course. MY major concern is financial issues because I come from a very low income family. I only have a mother and she lost her job and i just do not know what to do. I want to continue studying but I can not get accepted. I am a hardworking dedicated student. If there is any advisor/counselor to whom I can speak with, I would gladly appreciate to any help you can provide."
