hey

I am just starting to think about a career in physical therapy. I was just wonder what were the general stats of incoming students in PT programs (GPA, test score, etc). What tests need to be taken and what extra cirriculars should I start doing.

Thanks
 
One of the first things is to get your observation hours. I don't know if you have a Bachelor's yet, if you don't make sure to get your requirements. Generally they are Biology, physics, Anatomy, physiology, chemistry, medical terminology, developmenta psy. They could slightly change or have different substitutions depending on the school you are applying for. Usually, schools ask for GRE scores, and many of them require 1000 on both verbal and quantitive.
