SENIOR YR CLASSES to prepare to become a PHYSICAL THERAPIST?

i want to be a physical therapist. we are currently making our schedules for next year (my senior year yay!) and i was wondering what kinds of classes i should take to prepare myself. so far i have taken English 1, English 2 and 3 honors Physical Science honors, Biology honors, Chemistry honors, Marine Science World History honors, American History honors gym, health, pottery (required to take an art and gym/health) spanish 1,2 and 3 algebra 1 honors, geometry honors, algebra 2, algebra 3 ((i think that is it)) i was thinking of taking AP English (already signed up for) Government and Economics (required and already signed for) AP Psychology Anatomy Honors Physics Honors and then idk what else (possibly Computers or Spanish 4) is this good??? should i take something different???? remember i am preparing to be a physical therapist. thanks

1. that sounds good, but I'd recommend Computers over Spanish 4. it's becoming a vital credential to most careers, especially the fast evolving ones such as physical therapy. good luck!
2. Anatomy will definitely help, and if there's any higher biology classes you can get into. And I know my high school offers sports science/medicine, if your school offers that it could help (even though it's not directly related).
3. That sounds like a good schedule. 4 years of a language looks really good with college admissions officers, so if you're good at Spanish, take Spanish 4. It's even more important that you take a math course senior year, so take one even if your high school doesn't require it because colleges do require it.
4. First thanks for answering my question. Now I answer yours!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Take these classes AP English AP Psychology AP Government and Economics AP Biology-for your field of study Anatomy Honors Computer Intro or AP depends on your skills with computers As for Spanish 4 don't take that class its not related to your field and besides you can take it in college. Wish you the best luck and please don't get crazy about being a senior!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
5. As a senior in high school, there are no special preparations you need to make unless you plan to enter a direct admit program (of which there are only a few). What you should focus on now is simply college admissions. That being said, definetely take the English, Civics/econ and physics. Anatomy sounds like a good idea however...you will need to take it in college either way. So at the very least, it will give you an exposure. Truth be told, most high school seniors are not even offered anatomy...this is something that can really wait until college. I would look into the language requirement at whatever univeristy you plan on attending. Many schools require you to take two years of foreign language unless you've had 4 in high school. That being said, it may be worth your while to take the fourth year in high school to avoid having to spend 2 two years on it in college (however, where I went to school, science majors were exempt from this). If you can take AP psych and clep out of 3 credits of intro to psych, this will also help your situation. If you do not have to take the foreign language, then I would keep the anatomy.
