I can't speak to if you should or not but I can say I counted my BLS for HCPs. I'm assuming that during a clinical rotation such a certificate would be required, therefore including it in your application will be one more reason to select you as a candidate.

Here's your answer: http://www.studentdoctor.net/2011/11/the-physical-therapy-admissions-process-part-2/
"CPR/AED Certification
Many programs will require you to be certified in CPR for infant, child, and adult and AED before enrollment into the program. Information concerning this can be collected from the American Heart Association’s website on their CPR certification classes: AHA’s CPR & First Aid Training. This is usually a four hour class that will cover CPR and AED for infants, children, and adults. Check with your program to see which certification they accept (Red Cross or American Heart Association). There have been recent changes to methods of CPR and AED administering, so if you are already certified, it may be best to renew your certification."
