2019 Physical Therapy School Rankings
Decisions Decisions...
DPTs have $140,000 in student loans on average and starting salaries in the $65,000 to $90,000 range. Going to PT school will impact your student loan repayment strategy and key subsequent life events. Making a wise investment today will put you on a good financial path tomorrow.

This leaves only $500 a month to allocate to key "life events".
Here are just a few questions you need to ask yourself before starting your PT program:
1. Is there a way to reduce how much I owe?
2. Are there expenses that I could/willing to reduce?
3. What repayment strategies are available so I can meet my financial goals such as buying a home or starting my own private practice?
4. How long will it take and how much of my student loans must I pay-off before I can incorporate my other financial goals?
