Hi,
I'm a college Senior in the process of applying to PT schools. Could anyone send me a list of questions that could be asked at an admissions interview?
Thanks

I went through this process two years ago, and some of the questions they asked me are:
ofcourse :Why do you want to be a PT?
What is something about yourself you like/dislike?
What kind of PT experience have you had?
Have you applied to any other PT programs?
Do you know what the APTA is and what they do?
These are the ones that really stick out. Normally, they will try to have a conversation with you, so dont be nervous and just be yourself.
