Student Perspective
Grace Allen
Grace Allen, 4th year, Health Sciences - Pre-PT Student
I am a to be a senior (fourth year) in the pre-pt health sciences program. I chose UC’s Pre-PT program for 3 reasons. First, I was accepted to the HEAP program and I wasn’t going to get that opportunity anywhere else. Second, It was 2 hours away from home which I felt was a perfect distance to be on my own and mature, but also be close to home. Third, when I was touring campus as a high schooler, I got this sense of comfort and belonging that was pulling me toward the school. I love the decision I’ve made to come to UC and I have no regrets!
