Saw a couple threads on here saying there was going to be a new standard essay asking about autonomous PT practice. Now I am thumbing through this year's PTCAS instructions and it looks like it really changed to: "Describe your decision making process in choosing physical therapy as a career choice versus other health care careers.”

There was another thread on here recently where this has been discussed. You are right - PTCAS was originally going to use the autonomous practice essay, but decided to use the decision-making process one instead.
