Amazing video! I loved that you included the added benefits for each school along with the price!

[@maddiehayes789]

Starting PT school at Wichita State in June AND going to be staying with family to make costs even lower 😇 I love watching your videos!!

[@PTProgress]

That’s awesome! I hope you do well in PT school. Smart of you to keep your costs low!

[@jordanbase13]

I’m thinking of applying there, did you get in on your first try?

[@michael45413]

It might be a good idea to start doing cheapest in each state or the big ones! I noticed no Florida schools on that lolll

[@NickGotte32]

I go to Arkansas state university!:) I went here undergrad and am staying for PT school starting in the summer!

[@TrangLe-jr5kc]

Thanks for your sharing

[@JoseAlvarado-zd3eh]

Dang, gonna have to go to Texas! Even that out of state tuition looks better than in state in Cali!

[@spencerwolverton8482]

Haven’t finished the video, but after listening to number 10 for northern Arizona. Out of state will cost you more that 72,000. You can’t get in state tuition in Arizona if you only are there for school (you have to work a full year and do no school to get instate). When I interviews there two years ago it was expect to be 94,000 for out of state.

[@StefanieAnna]

Yes go to the cheapest school!! One of the biggest killers for grad school loans is the high interest rates they have. By the time I graduated I had over 12k of interest alone.

[@jacquelincorona-h.7414]

Can you make a video or explain the situation with cuts made towards the PTAs

[@jewelfrias6873]

Hello, you’re amazing. What do you think of San Diego State DPT program?

[@kasj99]

Hi tim ,thanks for this stuff ...what are the 5 bests cheapest PTA associate degree in Miami or California?thanks

[@poorandstupid]

Hey Tim! I don’t know if you remember me, but you gave me some insight back in September regarding whether or not I should attend a 100k+ OTD program. I’m honestly proud to say that I rejected my offer and decided to go the business route for the time-being. Shortly making my decision, I was hired at Amazon to become an Area Manager. Not really as prestigious, but I’m happy to say I won’t be 500k in debt in three years.

[@PTProgress]

Darian! I do remember you and I’m really happy you took the time to share your update here! Proud of you as I know it was a hard decision but a very wise one. Really awesome that you got a job with Amazon - I bet there a some great opportunities to grow quickly with them in the next few years too. Also, there’s nothing prestigious about having a 100k piece of paper! Don’t sell yourself short in terms of the impact you have now at your current job. Your career at Amazon matters greatly too! In 3 years, I wouldn’t be surprised if you have well over 100k in a positive net worth if you keep making good financial choices. Keep it up!

[@poorandstupid]

@@PTProgress Thank you so much for the kind words! After talking to you, making the right decision became a fairly easy task. It’s hard for those around me to see what you and I see, but I’m still happy with my decision. I’ll be around and I look forward to speaking with you again in the future. Please, stay well!

[@PTProgress]

You’re making sound financial decisions to avoid that kind of debt. Plus, you’re influencing others on this channel to do the same - great job. Looking forward to hearing from you in the future Darian.

Hi thanks for all the info it is really helpful. I am doing my Bachelors in Physical Therapy and would like to do my Masters in Physical Therapy. Could you suggest some good schools to go to.

[@jaesim3150]

Unfortunately, you need a doctorate degree to be a PT now and there aren’t any bachelor or masters programs in the US

Hi! How much CGPA is required for getting a masters scholarship abroad in DPT for students and what is the procedure for students from Pakistan?

Bro can you please help me out which college i can do my credentials program lil easier and cheaper before npte.?

[@serbeguney2442]

Hello. Is there a master program for dpt in UTC ? I couldn’t find anything so 🙏

[@thomasstrickland8657]

Your costs for Eastern Carolina U are incorrect. Tuition and fees are $43,321.61 in state and $102,492.11 out of state. Western Carolina U ( where my daughter graduated May '21) costs are similar. UNC-Chapel Hill also has PT school too, so moving to the state gives you a few options to apply to after establishing residency for a year. But moving is a risk as there are about 9 applications for each spot (at ECU). According to WCU DPT site "We consider all well-qualified in- and out-of-state candidates. Out-of-state students are able to gain NC residency after their first year and then they pay in-state rates for education." WCU has special low undergrad tuition rates for in & out of state (OfS is $4200/semester if you have health insurance) compared to other NC state schools, making it a good place to start and get bonus points when applying for DPT at WCU.

I am a student at Army-Baylor DPT! Can't say enough good things about it. If you ever need more information about it, I would be glad to help

[@ExiledAssassin55]

I'm finding conflicting info about the service obligation. The FAQ on their website says army requires 90 months of service, and does not mention the other branches. Is it really 54 months instead as state in the video?

[@isaachalloran3746]

@@ExiledAssassin55 It is 90 months total, but that includes your time in school. You are active duty while it school so its 90 months total but approximately 54 after graduation

[@BBDB1987]

You might have to go take the transitional DPT program instead. That should allow you to use DPT after your name.

Hi, Really great video. I have a question about the differences between DPT and tDPt programs. If we are foreign trained PT (BS) and have a green card(work authorization), which program do we need to attend in the US. tDPT or DPT? What is the difference between them? When we complete tDPT and pass the licensure exam, are we accepted as Clinical Doctorate of Physical Therapists like DPT grads?

[@jscheelerdpt]

You want a tDPT program and get your evaluation done by the FCCPT

[@oguzhancelik9632]

@@jscheelerdpt after couple months we found the answer yes it should be tDPT but necessary as well. If my major is PT in foreign country I just need to apply for licensure process and determine which courses/topics should I get. Then pass the exam to work as PT in here.

[@user-nx6oh3mw9q]

Just curious, if I graduate in a certain state and get my license in that state, am I only gonna be able to work as a pt in that state only?

I guess you need to get states pt exam so you can work any other states

All the Doctorate requirements and Top degree requirements is really based on putting you and keeping you in debt.

In the USA physiotherapy now requires a doctorate degree. Coming from out of country, you may have to get your current degree audited and see if your degree and its credits transfer in order to apply and ultimately be accepted into a DPT program.

In currently taking care of my prerequisites to get into the PT program at NAU in the Phoenix biomedical center. I’m in state so 35k for my PT schooling almost seems free. I also was an All-USA student so my undergrad at any of the Arizona State Universities is free. Keeping a high GPA and getting involved with the honors program at my community college paid off big time.
