<p>I am going to be a freshman in college next fall and I am planning on being a physical therapist which means going to PT school. I have been researching what you need to get in and I am going to try my best to keep my gpa above a 3.5. I am taking 2 courses this summer at a local community college so I can have an easy first semester(I am also doing this because I will be going through pledgeship and I do not want to do bad my first year). One necessity that PT grad schools want that got my attention is the GRE test. I am not good at taking standardized tests. I did pretty bad on the act. Although, I guess I should not really be worried about this considering I am not even a freshman yet. Anyone have any advice for me for my future??</p>
<p>GPA needs to be at least a 3.5 to be even considered. get as many volunteer/clinic hours as possible and create relationships with teachers and other physical therapists so they can write you recommendation letters and speek on your behalf if necessary</p>
