Hi everyone,

I've been trying to decide which program to apply for, DPT or OT. I dont know very much about the OT profession. Is it possible to work privately, like you can with a DPT degree?
Im very interested in the salaries aswell, is there a large difference in the salary between these 2 professions? What is an average starting salary for OT?

Lastly, can anyone send me a list of schools in the States for OT which do not require GRE test. Thanks a lot! 🙂
