Hi everyone! I am 22 years old and currently a student finishing up my last semester toward a B.S. in Kinesiology/Pre-PT. I am hoping to apply to PTA schools this Fall/Spring. I am not applying for PT schools this fall because of several factors that include cost, GPA, and the fact that most applications are due in a few months and I have yet to take the GRE's, start my online application for PTCAS, get references, write essays etc. etc. etc... Working as a PT aide part time and doing school full time this fall is also another reason why... Anyways, I was hoping to get some advice on which PTA schools I should apply to. I prefer to be in California but I am willing to travel out of state or anywhere really to become a PTA. I sort of like the idea of going to school in Oregon or Washington... :) Where do I stand on paper?
As you can see my GPA is okay but not outstanding by any means but I feel like I have completed a lot of classes and have quite a bit of observation/work experience.

Molly....I would suggest Sac City. But apply to several places to increase your chances of getting in. You GPA is not that bad. just be sure you have all the prereqs where ever you apply. J.John......I believe all schools require 2 semesters of A&P. It's the core of the profession and very important when working with the public. |

Hello Molly, This info might help you: Gurnick academy opened PTA program in San Mateo, Ca. You can check their website for admission requirements. It looks like A&P is included. |
