Besure the name written is the same as indicated on the college transcript. Also indicate the college at which the coursewas completed or will be completed, the grade received and the credit hours. Please note if the credit hours are quarter hours or semester hours. If you have not yet completed the required prerequisite coursework, you must indicate belowwhen you will complete it (e.g. Spring Quarter, 2008). All science prerequisites listed below are required and must becompleted by September 1, 2010, and all non-science prerequisites must be completed by January 1, 2011. Allrequired science courses (Chemistry, Human Anatomy & Physiology, Biology and Physics) should be at the levelof courses required for health science majors. For courses taken external to the University of Cincinnati, you may berequired to submit a course syllabus and/or course description. All core courses must have been taken during the past tenyears. Certain exceptions may apply. Please do not include anticipated grades for courses in progress and do not leaveany blank spaces under the heading Date of Completion. Also, calculate your pre-requisite GPA and the number of credithours for calculated pre-requisite GPA.
Steps to calculate pre-requisite GPA based on transcript information:1. Determine the letter course grade and the weight of each grade (see chart below).2. Determine the course credit hours; if it is semester hours, multiply the number of credit semester hours by 1.5 (ex. 4
semester credit x 1.5 = 6 quarter credits)3. Multiply the course credit hours by the grade weight to determine quality points earned (ex. 6.0 credits x 3.67 = 22.02
points)4. Add together the quality points of all classes from step # 3 and divide by the sum of all credit hours (quarter hours and
adjusted semester hours) (ex. 425 points / 128 credits = 3.32 GPA)

Please answer the following questions completely. Do not use a font smaller than 10 and do not exceed 3500 characters per Essay.
1. What slogan or quotation describes your philosophy of life? Explain.
One of the best books that I have ever read was: The Rhythm of Life, Living Every Day withPassion and Purpose by Matthew Kelly. The book focused on helping you to achieve the bestversion of yourself. It exposes the problems and challenges that we face in this life full of chaos and confusion. Through common sense and humor, this book helps you to examine theperson you are today and motivates you to take steps towards becoming the person you wantto be in the future. My philosophy of life comes from two very simple, but immenselyimportant words from the title of this book, passion and purpose. It is my goal to try and live
every single day passionately and with a purpose. Most people by nature, myself included, livelife in the fast lane. Today, it is hard not to, with everyone obsessing about money andpossessions. But just think how much better our world would be if we focused each day onserving others instead of ourselves? Unfortunately, we dont live in that type of world, andsometimes helping one another is last on our lists of things to do. I personally have a passionfor helping others. There is nothing that makes me happier or feel more fulfilled than knowingthat I have changed someones life for the better. I dont enjoy it because of the recognitionthat may be associated, but for the pure reason of knowing that I made a difference. I ampursuing a career in the field of physical therapy because I feel that it is the perfect way forme to fulfill my passion for helping others in a purposeful manner. Over the past four years,
through my experiences shadowing, as well as from my coursework here at Indiana University,I have learned a lot about becoming a physical therapist and the work that it entails on a dailybasis. I have shadowed in many different settings, and I enjoyed them all! I am certain thatbecoming a physical therapist is the career path for me. I want to be able to wake up everyday and be excited to go to work. I want to be able to come home every night and sleeppeacefully knowing that my life has a purpose. A wise person once told me to alwaysremember: Life is a relationship, and people are a gift. Each person who crosses throughyour life is a chance to love, a chance to really live; cherish people.

2. What experiences have helped you to decide on a career in physical therapy and havegiven you a greater understanding of the profession?
My interest in the field of Physical Therapy has progressively increased during my high schooland college years. A variety of experiences and encounters have enhanced my knowledge, aswell as creating within me an enthusiasm and passion to want to help others and learn more. Itwas a long journey to reach this point; however I am now certain, that Physical Therapy is mychosen career path. Throughout my childhood/adolescent life, I was very involved in sportswhich did of course, result in some injury. My first encounter with physical therapy was in the8 th grade. I was suffering from pain in both knees. When my doctor recommended that I dophysical therapy exercises, my initial impression was that they were silly and ineffective. Ididnt do the exercises as prescribed and my knees didnt get better. My first realization thatphysical therapy might actually work was in my junior year of high school. A good friend was ina horrific car accident that resulted in temporary loss of feeling in his legs. He went through anexhausting amount of physical therapy to try to return feeling to his legs and learn to walkagain. Finally, after months of tribulation, he succeeded. This was a life changing experiencefor me. I finally came to realize how important physical therapy really was. Throughout highschool, I had no idea what type of career I wanted to pursue. I just knew that I had a passionfor helping others and then I thought of my friend and how his physical therapist had been anintegral part of his recovery. This was the turning point where I decided that Physical Therapywas what I wanted to do. I began researching the job details of a physical therapist. I also didsome shadowing at Cincinnati Childrens Hospital to get some firsthand experience. When Iarrived at college I still had a lot of questions. I knew that physical therapy was effective, butfrom an academic sense, I didnt know why or how. A variety of courses including: anatomy,physiology, psychology, nutrition, chemistry and physics have provided a good base to furthermy knowledge about how the body works, but something was missing. This past year, I took aMethods of Personal Training Instruction course with Carol Kennedy-Armbruster. This coursewas designed to prepare one to pass the ACE Personal Training Exam. We not only learnedeffective techniques and exercises to build muscle, but also ways to protect and heal throughexercise. This course aided in putting the pieces together. It was very interesting to finallyrealize how the incredible design of the body is affected, not just negatively from the wear andtear of daily life and other injury, but also positively through rehabilitation and exercise. Myshadowing experiences this year have put into perspective the job of a physical therapist on adaily basis. I thoroughly enjoyed shadowing and I feel that requiring these hours wasinvaluable to really understanding the profession. I have personally had experience with:outpatient orthopedics, inpatient acute/sub-acute, outpatient childrens therapy, as well assports medicine. It was amazing to see the immense differences at each setting. I was alsovery fascinated by the differences in technique of the therapist in each setting. For example,

3. What do you think is the greatest challenge facing a physical therapy graduate as he/sheenters the workforce today?
The best advice that I have received while participating in my shadowing experiences was toTreat every session like an evaluation, there is something to learn from every session with apatient. I believe this to be 100% true. A big challenge facing a physical therapy graduateentering the workforce would be settling into a routine and becoming complacent. With everymajor life changing event, such as entering a new position in the workforce, or moving to a newcity, people want things to get settled or normal. As a therapist, I feel that doing thingsroutinely is the worst thing a therapist could do for their patient. My shadowing experience inBloomington, IN was similar to this. Each patient with a knee or hip problem did the sameexact exercises. These exercises were effective for most, however, some did not respond aswell. The therapist saw so many patients in a day that sometimes I was in charge of takingpatients through their entire workout. Although this was great experience for me, I questionedif it was best for the patient. Each patient should be considered separately, not just during theevaluation session, but during every session. Not everyone will respond in the same way tocertain methods and types of treatment. In fact, some patients may have a negative reactionto a specific exercise. A good therapist will recognize this and alter their plan of care. A reasonbehind the therapists lack of time spent with patients may actually be caused by the greaterchallenge facing the field of physical therapy health care. With the emphasis by healthinsurance companies to reduce costs, physical therapists are under greater pressure to seemore patients in a day, reducing the amount of time spent with each patient. Payments for theservices are also being reduced so therapists may feel the need to see more patients toincrease revenue. Also, consumers are being asked to pay more for their care and manysimply will not be able to afford the treatment needed. Trends are showing employeesponsored health care is decreasing, which will lead to more underinsured or uninsured, thusaffecting the field of physical therapy. When I graduate as a physical therapist and prepare toenter the workforce, I have a feeling I will be extremely anxious. I imagine I will be excited butnervous at the same time to begin practicing. It is my hope that I will use the knowledge that Ihave obtained to best treat each and every patient and I dont let myself become complacent.Physical Therapy is my chosen profession and I look forward to the challenge each patient willbring.

4. Why have you chosen to apply to the University of Cincinnati Physical Therapy Program?
I chose to apply to the University of Cincinnati Physical Therapy Program because of UCsexcellent reputation in the field. I hope to attend a competitive and challenging program andUC has always been my first choice. My home is in Southeastern Indiana so to me Cincinnati ismy hometown. I grew up attending events, playing sports, and seeing doctors in Cincinnati. Ieven attended sports camps at UC. My plan was to obtain my undergraduate degree from UC,but the out-of-state tuition made that impossible for me financially. Secondly, my plan is tostay close to home, perhaps living with my parents to help offset living expenses. When Ibegan my search for physical therapy programs, I made of list of criteria that I felt would helpbe achieve my goal of becoming a physical therapist. The list included:
Attending a school close to home to offset living expenses. Attending a school within 2 hours of my home. Attending a school that has a state licensure pass rate over 90%. Attending a school with small class settings. Attending a school that is involved in research and advancement Attending a school in an area that provides an environment with top-notch facilities and equipment. Attending a school in a city that I enjoy. Attending a school in an area with great possibilities for future employment. And lastly, and most important, attending a school that would provide me with a sound education and
room to grow.
After going over my list and comparing it to what The University of Cincinnati Physical Therapyprogram has to offer, I found that all my criteria were met. To get a better feel of the campus, Imade an informal visit. It had been almost five years since I had been to the campus and I washonestly blown away by how much it had changed. The new facilities are absolutely amazing!Following that visit, I set up a shadowing experience through UC NovaCare. I observed thefollowing Physical Therapists: Andrew Middendorf, Matt Donlin and Rose Smith. This was myfirst experience shadowing in a sports medicine setting. As I found with each of my othershadowing experiences, this setting was completely different. What I enjoyed the most wasthat I was exposed to many different types of injuries and treatment methods. I had neverseen or done any hydrotherapy. It was very interesting to get a hands-on look at theeffectiveness of this type of treatment. The most interesting difference that I found betweenthis setting and the other outpatient experiences I have had was that they used modalities suchas: heat, ice and electrical stimulation much more. This was due to the fact that many of thepatients that were treated were athletes that needed to heal quickly to return to play. Ithoroughly enjoyed increasing my knowledge in this setting and I feel that it will be very

My name is Abbey Christine Soule. My parents are Pam and Guy Soule. I have one sister and
her name is Kelsey. My family is one of the most important things in my life. I am a very
caring person, which is sometimes one of my biggest downfalls. I would help anyone in need,
even if I dont know them. I love making other people happy; its my passion in life to help
others. I think I am a good friend, hopefully my friends would agree as well. I like meeting
new people and learning their story. I am a member of the Lutheran Churches Missouri
Synod. My faith is a big part of who I am, but it still needs some work. I am an opinionated
person, however I dont try to force my opinions on others and I hate it when people think
they are always right. I am a very humble person. I am very trustworthy, but I am not quick
to trust others.
I love to sing and listen to all types of music. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my
friends, family, boyfriend and my two dogs. I like to do things outdoors like: hiking, playing
sports and just sitting taking in scenery. I thoroughly enjoy traveling; I would love to go
overseas someday. My all time favorite food would have to be pizza, and my favorite movie is
Sister Act II.
Academically, I would not say that I am brilliant. I have been graced with being decently
smart; however most of my success has resulted from my hard work and dedication. I realize
that I am not the smartest candidate for a spot in your program, however if you take chance
