Best Pre-med // University Course?

We Answered:

These are just personal opinions--

For a male who wants to go internationally, I think Medical Technology and Physical Therapy are better choices. However, in U.S., a Physical Therapist actually earns much more than a Medical Technologist.

One other option that is not on your list is Biomedical Engineering. It is an increasingly popular pre-med degree because you have a choice to become an engineer.

How do I become a physical therapist?

We Answered:

It would be best to visit www.apta.org and check on education to find a link to a PT school you are interested in attending. You will need to ask these schools directly as to wheather AP credit will be considered. Most likely, you wouldn't be able to clep out of all the classes...especially anatomy and physiology as this is usually a 300 level course.
Regarding your C's...unfortunately, GPA in the prerequisite courses is the number one consideration for admittance into a PT progam. Most require a 3.0 or a 3.2 in the core classes on average. If you were able to take the physics, anatomy, biology, psych and stats and be able to bring your GPA up to this level...you might be considered. However, realize that the average GPA for student admitted into the program is at least 3.5. I would still encourage you to go for it since enrollment has been down at most PT schools...in other words, the competition is less.

Since you already have a BS, you do not necessarily need to renroll as an undergraduate...most likely, you can enroll as a "student at large" to take the remaining prerequisites. Yet, you will need to review the specific requirements of your school.

Good luck

This is very heavy and NOBODY can do it for you.
sorry about that ... hate to rain on your parade .... but ...

YOU need to decide what you want to do, and what you like to do
and then make a commitment to yourself to go for it!

Me, I'm just the character who was thrown out of Chemistry for being a FREE RADICAL
oh well...

College wasn't for me, different things for different people.

Hope you find what really is YOUR bit on this planet

Can I become an Athletic Trainer then a Physical Therapist?

We Answered:

Yes, this is fairly common. You might get SOME credit for some of your ATC courses in a PT program...but PTs generally take a much more indepth type of course, so you may need to take some courses you got an introduction to as an ATC.

Just make sure you take any courses required outside your major in order to meet the PT prerequisites.
