Have/Can prereq's be waived or tested out of? (chem 1/2, physics 1/2)
Post Body

Title says it all folks. I'm just curious if it has ever happened or is even remotely possible.

For context, I have a BS in kinesiology (3.98 GPA), MS in exercise science (4.0 GPA), and almost a decade of experience in the health/fitness/sports performance field. To be frank, I find it a bit silly if I have to go back and take undergrad prereq's given I have gotten better results in a return to play setting at the NCAA level compared to most team DPT's, or athletic trainers, and same with a general population as a personal trainer.

My undergrad in kinesiology did not require chemistry or physics, but a ton of biomechanics, motor learning, motor control, neurophysiology etc.

I think a majority of competent practitioners can agree on the fact that those areas are FAR more useful compared to basic chemistry and physics on a daily basis, so I don't see how people at the administrative level can arbitrarily value those classes knowing the lack of practical application/relevance.

I'm considering PT school, and just gathering information. Please no rude comments :)
