Hi guys,
I need some advice on how I should approach PT school. I'm a senior at a Texas college that will graduate this upcoming May with a B.B.A. in finance and economics. I have a very competitive GPA (3.93) and great experience with past finance related internships.
The problem now is that I want to become a PT. After being exposed to PT for my surgery, the profession has really attracted me to it. I have no prerequisites except statistics and calculus. I will graduate this May, so I will have to attend a community college to get my science courses.
Obviously, I would have to wait until Fall 2014 before I could start PT school, but I want to make sure I can apply in Fall 2013 and not miss any deadlines.
-Do PT schools "look down" on community college credits?
-Do some programs allow you to apply before you've completed the prerequisites (I can go to both summer school sessions, but I would still need another semester before I could finish all the requirements)? I can't wait until Fall 2014 to apply..I want to apply this upcoming September/October.
-How well respected is TWU and UTSW? I am from the DFW area and would prefer to be able to attend a local PT school.
-What else can I do to boost my application? I will be taking the GRE very soon.
Thank everybody for their advice and wisdom...I am trying to get a solid "game plan" on how to advance from my current situation. 😀
