When I heard that President-elect Joe Biden had fractured his foot playing with his dogs, my first thought was that he’d need physical therapy. My next thought was wondering if any physical therapists would be quoted discussing his injury in the media. Luckily, I got to be one such PT for AARP! I saw a […]

There are many different living arrangements one can have in graduate school, and I touched upon some of these in my recent post about Columbia.

I recently shared this story with an applicant whose essay I edited after she emailed to ask if she was behind because she hadn’t submitted her applications yet. No! It is still early

“I want to be a PT because unlike other healthcare professionals, physical therapists always see their patients for long periods of time.” If I had a dollar for each time I read this in a PTCAS admissions essay, I could make a dent in the average PT’s student loans. But is it really true? Many

Now that we’re over a month into this admissions cycle, some applicants are already receiving invitations to interview, and I’ve already began booking interview coaching sessions with applicants!
