text: what's a good school for physical therapy and what major should you get as your under graduate degree? i'm looking for a physical therapist who can tell me about how to go about in applying for physical therapy school and what kind of undergraduate degree would help in preparing for this degree. can you refer me to a chat room with other physical therapist or a web site to get more information on this subject? to apply for school you need to check online for a list of pt schools.  check out www.apta.org for a list of schools.  then just look on the school websites and they will tell you how to apply.  the undergrad degree you have is up to you.  it helps to have a good background in anatomy, because if you have a good understanding of that it makes things much easier.  but the stuff you learn is going to be new and most undergrad courses will not cover it.  some places have a pre-physical therapy degree or an exercise science degree may help.  but it my opinion it does not matter, just as long as you know how to study you will be fine.    check out  http://physicaltherapist.com/ they have a message board with some good information just for students.
