What is the physical therapy school interview like?
Not all physical therapy schools interview their applicants. Generally, those schools that do, only invite applicants that are seriously being considered for matriculation. Applicants will be expected to discuss their motivation for physical therapy, their personal and professional goals, and their assessment of current health care issues. Interviewing formats vary and can either be one-on-one or in a small group. Applicants are usually provided with information about the school’s interviewing process before the interview. Most students will be taken on school tours, meet with current students, and discuss financial costs with an advisor. For assistance in preparing for the interviewing process, please contact the Pre-Health Advisor or the Career Services office to schedule a mock interview. What can students do to enhance their chances of admission to a physical therapy program? Candidates should have a high overall GPA and a high GA in prerequisite course work. Admission officers als
