B. PREREQUISITE COURSEWORK Indicate below the name of the course you have taken or will take to meet the admissions requirements listed below. Be sure the name written is the same as indicated on the college transcript. Also indicate the college at which the course was 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 below when you will complete it (e.g. Spring Quarter, 2008). All science prerequisites listed below are required and must be completed by September 1, 2010, and all non-science prerequisites must be completed by January 1, 2011. All required science courses (Chemistry, Human Anatomy & Physiology, Biology and Physics) should be at the level of courses required for health science majors. For courses taken external to the University of Cincinnati, you may be required to submit a course syllabus and/or course description. All core courses must have been taken during the past ten years. Certain exceptions may apply. Please do not include anticipated grades for courses in progress and do not leave any blank spaces under the heading Date of Completion. Also, calculate your pre-requisite GPA and the number of credit hours 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)

Abbey Christine Soule

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 with Passion and Purpose” by Matthew Kelly. The book focused on helping you to achieve the best version 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 the person you are today and motivates you to take steps towards becoming the person you want to be in the future. My philosophy of life comes from two very simple, but immensely important 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, live life in the fast lane. Today, it is hard not to, with everyone obsessing about money and possessions. But just think how much better our world would be if we focused each day on serving others instead of ourselves? Unfortunately, we don’t live in that type of world, and sometimes helping one another is last on our lists of things to do. I personally have a passion for helping others. There is nothing that makes me happier or feel more fulfilled than knowing that I have changed someone’s life for the better. I don’t enjoy it because of the recognition that may be associated, but for the pure reason of knowing that I made a difference. I am pursuing a career in the field of physical therapy because I feel that it is the perfect way for me 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 daily basis. I have shadowed in many different settings, and I enjoyed them all! I am certain that becoming a physical therapist is the career path for me. I want to be able to wake up every day and be excited to go to work. I want to be able to come home every night and sleep peacefully knowing that my life has a purpose. A wise person once told me to always remember: “Life is a relationship, and people are a gift. Each person who crosses through your 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 have given you a greater understanding of the profession?

My interest in the field of Physical Therapy has progressively increased during my high school and college years. A variety of experiences and encounters have enhanced my knowledge, as well as creating within me an enthusiasm and passion to want to help others and learn more. It was a long journey to reach this point; however I am now certain, that Physical Therapy is my chosen career path. Throughout my childhood/adolescent life, I was very involved in sports which did of course, result in some injury. My first encounter with physical therapy was in the 8th grade. I was suffering from pain in both knees. When my doctor recommended that I do physical therapy exercises, my initial impression was that they were silly and ineffective. I didn’t do the exercises as prescribed and my knees didn’t get better. My first realization that physical therapy might actually work was in my junior year of high school. A good friend was in a horrific car accident that resulted in temporary loss of feeling in his legs. He went through an exhausting amount of physical therapy to try to return feeling to his legs and learn to walk again. Finally, after months of tribulation, he succeeded. This was a life changing experience for me. I finally came to realize how important physical therapy really was. Throughout high school, I had no idea what type of career I wanted to pursue. I just knew that I had a passion for helping others and then I thought of my friend and how his physical therapist had been an integral part of his recovery. This was the turning point where I decided that Physical Therapy was what I wanted to do. I began researching the job details of a physical therapist. I also did some shadowing at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital to get some firsthand experience. When I arrived at college I still had a lot of questions. I knew that physical therapy was effective, but from an academic sense, I didn’t know why or how. A variety of courses including: anatomy, physiology, psychology, nutrition, chemistry and physics have provided a good base to further my knowledge about how the body works, but something was missing. This past year, I took a Methods of Personal Training Instruction course with Carol Kennedy-Armbruster. This course was designed to prepare one to pass the ACE Personal Training Exam. We not only learned effective techniques and exercises to build muscle, but also ways to protect and heal through exercise. This course aided in putting the pieces together. It was very interesting to finally realize how the incredible design of the body is affected, not just negatively from the wear and tear of daily life and other injury, but also positively through rehabilitation and exercise. My shadowing experiences this year have put into perspective the job of a physical therapist on a daily basis. I thoroughly enjoyed shadowing and I feel that requiring these hours was invaluable to really understanding the profession. I have personally had experience with: outpatient orthopedics, inpatient acute/sub-acute, outpatient children’s therapy, as well as sports medicine. It was amazing to see the immense differences at each setting. I was also very 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/she enters the workforce today?

The best advice that I have received while participating in my shadowing experiences was to “Treat every session like an evaluation, there is something to learn from every session with a patient.” I believe this to be 100% true. A big challenge facing a physical therapy graduate entering the workforce would be settling into a routine and becoming complacent. With every major life changing event, such as entering a new position in the workforce, or moving to a new city, people want things to get settled or “normal”. As a therapist, I feel that doing things “routinely” is the worst thing a therapist could do for their patient. My shadowing experience in Bloomington, IN was similar to this. Each patient with a knee or hip problem did the same exact exercises. These exercises were effective for most, however, some did not respond as well. The therapist saw so many patients in a day that sometimes I was in charge of taking patients through their entire workout. Although this was great experience for me, I questioned if it was best for the patient. Each patient should be considered separately, not just during the evaluation session, but during every session. Not everyone will respond in the same way to certain methods and types of treatment. In fact, some patients may have a negative reaction to a specific exercise. A good therapist will recognize this and alter their plan of care. A reason behind the therapist’s lack of time spent with patients may actually be caused by the greater challenge facing the field of physical therapy – health care. With the emphasis by health insurance companies to reduce costs, physical therapists are under greater pressure to see more patients in a day, reducing the amount of time spent with each patient. Payments for the services are also being reduced so therapists may feel the need to see more patients to increase revenue. Also, consumers are being asked to pay more for their care and many simply will not be able to afford the treatment needed. Trends are showing employee sponsored health care is decreasing, which will lead to more underinsured or uninsured, thus affecting the field of physical therapy. When I graduate as a physical therapist and prepare to enter the workforce, I have a feeling I will be extremely anxious. I imagine I will be excited but nervous at the same time to begin practicing. It is my hope that I will use the knowledge that I have obtained to best treat each and every patient and I don’t let myself become complacent. Physical Therapy is my chosen profession and I look forward to the challenge each patient will bring.

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 UC’s excellent reputation in the field. I hope to attend a competitive and challenging program and UC has always been my first choice. My home is in Southeastern Indiana so to me Cincinnati is my hometown. I grew up attending events, playing sports, and seeing doctors in Cincinnati. I even 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 to stay close to home, perhaps living with my parents to help offset living expenses. When I began my search for physical therapy programs, I made of list of criteria that I felt would help be 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 Therapy program has to offer, I found that all my criteria were met. To get a better feel of the campus, I made an informal visit. It had been almost five years since I had been to the campus and I was honestly 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 the following Physical Therapists: Andrew Middendorf, Matt Donlin and Rose Smith. This was my first experience shadowing in a sports medicine setting. As I found with each of my other shadowing experiences, this setting was completely different. What I enjoyed the most was that I was exposed to many different types of injuries and treatment methods. I had never seen or done any hydrotherapy. It was very interesting to get a hands-on look at the effectiveness of this type of treatment. The most interesting difference that I found between this setting and the other outpatient experiences I have had was that they used modalities such as: heat, ice and electrical stimulation much more. This was due to the fact that many of the patients that were treated were athletes that needed to heal quickly to return to play. I thoroughly enjoyed increasing my knowledge in this setting and I feel that it will be very beneficial in my future. After all my research and shadowing experiences, I am certain that I

5. What would you like the admissions committee to know about you?

This is me in a very small nutshell. 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 don’t know them. I love making other people happy; it’s 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 don’t 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 on me, I promise you will not be disappointed. My ultimate goal in life is to become a physical
