Becoming a Physical Therapist has rapidly become one of the most sought after careers due to several factors. As a result, the admission process into Physical Therapy programs has become more competitive and fierce each and every year. Sometimes schools receive hundreds of applicants for just a small percentage of spots. Therefore it is imperative you have your application as strong as possible when you are submitting your application. Applying to Physical Therapy School is an intense process and without any help it can feel like an impossible one. In this publication I go over the entire process of applying and I include the 10 essential things that prospective students have used in order to get accepted. It will show you how to: Use PTCAS Effectively, Utilize Program Open Houses, Prepare for the Interview Process, Look for GPA and GRE Weaknesses and Improve Them, and Strengthen Your Observation Hours. It also provides sample emails I sent to corresponding programs and some additional strategies to help strengthen your application and separate yourself from the competition. Each chapter discusses my first time errors and the second time improvements thoroughly. I have included sample emails from myself to my target programs as well so that the reader gets a good idea of how to communicate. My goal with this publication is to help potential Physical Therapy students improve their applications from the beginning without them having to go through the process of not being selected.
