Gabi,
I also agree that if you are interested in Athletic Training you should maybe consider going to a college w/ this as a major. (before you make this important decision try to get in some volunteer hours to make sure this is what you want to do as a career) I think that if you wait to start doing "athletic training" type classes until your a grad student you will miss out on a lot of important hands on skills you gain from a undergraduate curriculum. I'm now currently in grad school and when I was applying some schools don't accept you without previous work in a training room. In your best interest I would consider transferring to a program that has athletic training, and will give you the skills that are essential for a masters program.
