I have limited physiotherapy experience and it's a legitimate concern after seeing the threads on this forum and Queens and Westerns personal statement questions lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean as a PTA (physio assistant)? Or are you using the abbreviation PT as something other than physiotherapist/physical therapist? Your application (according to what you’ve posted) would likely be competitive at U of T and Mac. Maybe Western, but I hear they started valuing physio experiences over the past few years as apposed to solely looking at the sGPA. Queen’s is a bit of a mystery, but they also appear to heavily value structured physio experience. Just be careful how you word your application. The terms “physiotherapist”, “physical therapist” and the abbreviation/title “PT” are protected in Ontario. So if you claim to be a “PT” (by accident or otherwise) on your application, not only are you breaking the law, but the schools would also not be very impressed (to say the least).

Thanks for your reply! I definitely did not write that in my application haha I must have said that by mistake. Thanks for the heads up though, appreciate it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
