I am a prospective Doctor of PT student. I hold a BA from a top college (3.83 GPA, magna cum laude, phi beta kappa) but I was a non-science major and I need to complete all prerequisite coursework. I am debating enrolling in courses at a state university or community college. Based on your...

Hello! I am new to this site and thought it would be a good place to get advice from other Pre-PT/PT students. I am a freshman bio major about to complete my first semester with a 3.6 gpa (it would have been higher if I hadn't gotten two B's, both of them B+'s though) and have been working as a...

Hey everyone! I recently went through the entire process and thought that some of my experiences could help everyone out! I'll start with my stats (since that is what everyone is asking about). I have a Cumulative GPA of 3.7 and a Major GPA of around a 3.6. I am currently a Biology Major with...

I've applied to Tarleton State University and got accepted, however they don't have a PT school, but only a really good nursing program. Would it be best for me to apply to a university that does have a PT school for my undergrad degree and then go straight into the PT school?

Hey guys, I took the GRE about a month ago and I didn't do well on it. I'm so bad at standardized tests. I got a 145 Q, 147 V, and 4.0 AW. I know it's horrible and I was really discouraged because I studied two months for it. Anyway, I've been using Magoosh this time around and my next test...

So I took the GRE today and it didn't go well at all. I've been studying for two months, but I'm just not good at standardized tests and I freak out under time. I did really well on the practice tests, but when it came down to test time, I froze. I'm planning on taking it again in a month, but...

Hi all, I've been trying for the past few days to figure out the new essay prompt that was posted for this years cycle, and I don't think I understand what it's asking. The prompt is: "What is professionalism in the context of being a student in a doctor of physical therapist degree program?"...

I am a third year DPT student, and have started a vlog concerning all things PT school. I have had many requests to shed some light on the process of applying, getting in, and so forth regarding PT school. I'm hoping to discover the most common questions you, as Pre-PT students, have as you're...

Hello, I am applying to PT school starting this July. I am really worried about getting in. My first two years of college were rough and I ended up transferring three times. I was playing tennis on a scholarship and dealing with medical issues that made me struggle with memory issues and made...

Hey everyone! I recently interviewed for St. Augustine's incoming September 2016 DPT class (for the St. Augustine, FL location) and was notified today that I am on the waitlist. Does this mean that if I am not granted a spot for this most recent incoming class, I will be offered a spot for the...
