Hey, so I'm a senior right now and I'm 100% interested in Physical Therapy. I've been accepted to Widener's Accelerated BA/DPT program(which takes 6 years to complete) and received a 12,000 per year scholarship. I've been accepted to other schools too(Seton Hall, Lynchburg, Seton Hill, St.John's Queens), but Widener is the only school that gave me such a huge scholarship and that gave me admission to their physical therapy program. they also told me that if I manage to do well in my undergrad years, then I could expect a 20,000+ per year scholarship for my DPT years. Also, I don't need to take the GRE exam!
Question is, does it really matter if I go there versus a top 25 school like NYU or BU? I plan on doing an Orthopedic PT Residency as well after I graduate, so will it be harder for me to get into that type of program even if I pull off a high GPA at Widener? That's my main concern. Please help!
