We have a forum for pre-PT students, so you may want to ask your questions there.

Becoming a Physical Therapist

How much have you shadowed PT's?

 

[Mr.Smile12]

So if you are applying to non-GRE schools, grades are critical. GPA should be 3.5 or better for desirable applicants, especially with required courses. Then clinical experience and motivation for the career. Letters should back this up.

Agree with above. The importance will fall on grades now that you are not needing GRE.
