my daughter wants to study PT. I’m looking for 3+3 w direct admission options. So far I have Marquette, Evansville, Findlay, St Louis University, Northwestern. She is currently ranked 16/700 hasn’t taken SAT / ACT yet. We live in Indiana. I don’t think any of our public schools offer this option sadly. Hoping she’ll get scholarship to cover some of the cost. Thanks.
Look on the APTA website under accredited programs. Filter for A2 (direct entry as freshman). Many if not most of these programs are (or can be) 3+3. Most schools have some merit and/or need-based aid available for the undergraduate years, though few meet 100% of need. You will need to contact individual schools as to whether financial aid other than loans is available for the graduate portion of the program.
thanks
If you want to stay in the midwest, look at St Ambrose, Bradley and Maryville. If you think your D will qualify for merit scholarships, I know that Evansville will carry the scholarship money into the grad school part, which could potentially be a huge savings.
One advantage to Evansville is that if you are accepted in to their early admissions program any scholarship you receive you will get for all 6 years of the program (assuming you continue to meet their requirements). Most will only give you the scholarship for the undergrad portion of the program.

Yes, the guarantee of the scholarship continuing through the graduate program is why my daughter earned her DPT at UE.
