Deborah R.’s Answer

It depends on what you want from the school. There is no school that is the best for everybody. They are all required to have the same curriculum so you will learn the same thing in every program. Expect any PT program to be academically demanding although some are more supportive of student effort and life than others. I went to school many years ago so I cannot comment on any specific school.

Some other things to think about are: do you want to live in a certain location, cost, scholarship availability, campus student life, dormitory or other kind of housing, weather. The most important thing is to graduate from school and pass the licensing exam. After that it doesn't matter all that much which school you went to.
1) Go to <apta.org> to get a list of all the PT programs in the country.
2)Using the above questions, pick the ones that interest you the most.
3)Call each school and talk to the admissions department.
4)Visit a few of the schools that stand out to you.
5)Apply!
Good luck.
Deborah
