Week 7 Open Post

Going off of my week 6 open post, I was doing some thinking. Realistically, I'll probably want to stay in state for graduate school but there are so many other options out there. There are so many other schools that are out of state that I could look into. It's always a possibility and you never know what can happen, so I figured I wanted to look into some of the top physical therapy schools that are elsewhere in the country.

Well there it is... the list of the top schools in the country for physical therapy. This could be out of date, I'm not sure how recent that this list was updated but I don't think there would be much variaton. I think that the list is quite interesting. The schools are all over the country there isn't really a specific region or part of the country where physical therapy is prevalent. I didn't really get to look into the requirements or about any of these schools, but maybe it will happen in a future open post to answer the questions that I have about all of these schools :)
