Thanks! I actually REALLY want to go to Endicott! How do you like it?I went to Endicott in Beverly, MA for Sport Management (loved it, ps!), however they have a great Athletic Training program as well. (Side note: our internship program is topnotch and one of my classmates is actually working with the Pats for AT!) One of my best friends just graduated from UMass Lowell for Physical Therapy. He's starting his 3 yr Doctorate program there in the fall, as is one of my coworkers. It's A LOTT of work, but if you love it, it's totally worth it! My coworker got her undergrad from UNH for PT which she loved as well. My manager's husband studied Sports Medicine (I forget where, sorry!) and then went back and got his doctorate in PT. He's since opened his own business that's a PT place, but simply for athletes or sports-related injuries.
Long story short, I think it really depends on what you want to focus on. Athletic Training and Sports Medicine are the most similar, where you'd be working primarily with athletes. Whereas with PT you could focus on a rehab setting, dealing with elderly, or those who have been in accidents and the like. As far as schools, I'd suggest UML (city area, state school), UMA (rural, definite college town, state school as well), or UNH (somewhat rural, can be more expensive if you live in MA), depending on what type of school you're looking for. They all have great programs, as well as internship/networking opportunities. If you'd like more info I can get you in contact with any of the above people. Hope this helped a little bit at least. Good luck!
For me it was all about the tours, I had it narrowed down to two schools, Appalachian State and then, UNC Charlotte. When I toured Charlotte I really didn't like the campus what so ever, to spread out and just not what I was looking for. But when I toured App I fell in love, it was a beautiful campus, and it wasnt to small or two big. Another thing that I realized after starting school was that I find it alot harder to not only focus in bigger classes but to stay motivated to go, and luckily more of Apps classes are smaller so thats a good thing for me!How did everyone figure out if they wanted a big vs small school, in the middle of a big city, a not-so popular campus or a really known school? Just getting an idea for when I really have to make decisions! :)
Oh awesome!! I've heard really nice things about PC. Good luck and enjoy! :)
Bumping this.. any seniors been on visits so far this summer?!
You sound pretty smart! HahahI've gone on several so far- Georgetown, UPenn, Princeton, Columbia, and MIT. I loved Georgetown and Columbia. Georgetown has a really closed campus feel, but it's in the middle of Washington DC, so you always have the opportunity to go out into a vibrant city if you want to. Columbia didn't have as much of the closed campus feel, but it was still beautiful and it's in the middle of Manhattan! I probably would have liked Penn a lot more if they hadn't been doing a bunch of construction. Princeton had an absolutely gorgeous campus, but the students there have a very unique attitude and work ethic that probably wouldn't be the best fit for most people (myself included haha). MIT was really cool, but it is a technical school, so if you're not a hard core science/math person, you would not fit in at all haha. I'm visiting Brown next week and I'm really excited about that one, and I think I'm seeing Boston College next week, too. And right now I'm doing a summer program thing at Harvard and everything here is incredible- terrific campus, terrific city, basically terrific everything haha.
But... I really need to go visit colleges that I actually have a good chance of getting into, though haha. Everywhere I've gone so far is super selective!
I'm right there with you on the visit thing.....and I haven't taken my sat! :( there wasn't enough room on this waiting list we have to take itYou sound pretty smart! Hahah
I live like 5 minutes away from BC, and about 10 from Harvard. Both are beautiful!
ETA: I haven't gone on one visit yet....and I'm going to be a senior. :oops:
