I'm having a hard time deciding if I want to start out going into a PTA program or if I should continue preparing for my GRE test in order to get into a DPT program next year. With the PTA program, its a first come first serve and I would plan to apply for Fall of 2015. But with DPT there's a chance I could get accepted, and a chance I get denied even if I have everything turned in. I have already earned my Bachelors degree. I've been doing a lot of reading and read a few posts about it only being 2 schools in the US that have a program that allows a PTA to do continuing education and transition into a PT. I don't want to work so hard to become a PTA and have to move across the state in order to become a PT.
"If get into the PTA program and would still be able to transition into a PT in the same state, I would like to go that route. Plus it would give me more time to prepare for the GRE."
What are you opinions?
Should I got for PTA or DPT.?
Is it any truth about it only being TWO schools in the US that allows you to do continuing Ed.
