  • Why did you choose Rutgers DPT 4+3 Program?: I chose the Rutgers DPT 4+3 Program because it provides a straightforward and structured path to grad school and, eventually, a career. Additionally, I like how the program provides guidance and the opportunity to apply to PT school a year early.

What made you want to become a Physical Therapist?
I became interested in becoming a Physical Therapist after shadowing a PT for the first time. I was interested in pursuing a profession in the healthcare field in general. But when I saw the impact physical therapy had on the patients and how rewarding the career can be, I decided it was right for me.

How do you think this program has helped you prepare for graduate school?
This program has helped me prepare for graduate school by providing me with the exact courses I need to take and the guidance to help me apply to graduate school.

A fun fact about me is that I love trying new foods and going to the gym!
