<p>Okay so I want to major in something that would get me into PT school or PA school (this is because they are somewhat related so I figured they would require the same classes.)
I keep trying to decide what major to take in undergrad. However, people keep suggesting that it "doesn't matter" what major you choose as long as you get your prereqs completed?
It just seems weird to me that if I majored in sociology, let's say, then why would I ever have prereqs as science, physics, biology, anatomy, etc.?? It just seems so much harder and confusing to major in an non-science related major to get into PT or PA.. Can anyone explain how this is possible?? Thank you so much</p>
<p>Both your overall GPA and your GPA in the pre-PT/PA sequence are important. If you aren’t going to be happy as a science major, how are you going to get through all the advanced science classes that aren’t remotely necessary for PT/PA admissions? It really, truly, is OK for you to major in a different subject area if that is what you’d like to do.</p>
<p>Often pre-Med/PT/PA/Vet/Dent/Optometry, etc. students do end up majoring in the sciences because they find it is just plain easier to fit all of the pre-whatever sequence into their schedule that way.</p>
<p>Do you have any idea how people who major in like business or something get science pre reqs? It just seems weird to me</p>
<p>Most colleges will require that you take at least one science as part of your general education requirements. The others can be taken as electives.</p>
