For a while I’ve been set on applying to physical therapy programs. I’m planning on applying to Northeastern, Boston University, URI, and Sacred Heart but am having a difficult time finding other schools; I’ve ruled out a few and considered others, but nothing seems to be as appealing to me as the ones I listed. However, now I am wondering if anyone has any advice and whether it would be more sensible to do four years of undergrad and then transfer into a grad program for PT. I’ve begun to question how much I really want to become a physical therapist and I’m not so convinced anymore that that’s the right path for me. I know that if I opted to go to an undergrad school before entering a professional program it would ultimately give me more time to be sure that PT is the direction I want to go; however, I know that the schools I mentioned all have 6-year programs which makes them seem a little less daunting. Any recommendations about which path to take and any undergraduate majors would be greatly appreciated!

In addition to my love for anatomy, I am extremely interested in psychology and English. I know typically English does not go with health sciences, but if there is any way to incorporate biology, psychology and English and still potentially enter a medical profession I would greatly appreciate opinions! I am a senior in high school currently and I know it is time I start making some final decisions as I begin to apply. Thank you for your advice!
