Since PT is a graduate degree, high school classes do not really matter. You want to take math and science so you are prepared for college. You also need to learn study skills on how to study and take test.
Here is some information on becoming a PT

Should I pursue occupational therapy or economics as a major?
Posted by admin in Careers in PT on December 17, 2012
Question by : Should I pursue occupational therapy or economics as a major?
My grandpa says that occupational therapy or physical therapy is a very good career and major because there are a lot of people who are sick and getting old in the USA and Canada. He says economics is very generic and that everyone majors in it hoping to land a career in business. He says with occupational therapy once you graduate you will get a job and get a salary of 100,000. With an Econ degree it’s iffy in this job market. What do you guys think?
Best answer:
Answer by DaniBaje
You need to attend grad school to work as an occupational therapist. You need a Masters in Occupational Therapy. You will not have a starting salary of 100,000.
It is a good and steady field however.

Question by kimmiek94: If you major in Pre-Physical Therapy, are you eligible to be a Physical Therapists assistant?
I am planning on going into the physical therapy career, but i have not yet decided if i want to go through extra school years to get my doctorate degree. So im wondering, is there a special class to look for to be a physical therapists assistant, or can i get by with taking pre-physical therapy?

No, you must graduate from a 2 year AAS degree in PTA. to become licensed as a PTA It is theory and practice. They must complete clinicals.
In pre PT, you only take math and science course. There are no actual hands on PT classes or clinics.

Is it better to major in Physical Therapy or a broader career field like health science?
Posted by admin in Careers in PT on August 22, 2012
Question by joel: Is it better to major in Physical Therapy or a broader career field like health science?
I’m in my 2nd semester in a community college. I’m planning to transfer to a 4 year University after my 2nd year. Right now i’m taking pre-requisite classes for physical therapy but i wanted to know if its better to major in Health Science and then later go to physical therapy? Or major in Physical Therapy and become a physical therapist?
Best answer:
Answer by Anna P
Do you like physical therapy? It is a field that is still growing, so you would be able to find a job. A broad major like health sciences will ensure that you have to go to graduate school, but will also give you more options since PT is a graduate program. Have you spoken to a counselor about this? You have another year of general education requirements and basic sciences anyway. Good luck.

Well the basic knowledge before u pursue any healthcare career is physiology, biochem and anatomy…well from my experience if ur gonna study all this bullshit in the 1st years..its better if u just become a doctor..because but if ur really interested in physiotherapy..u cud try sports medicine and emergency and trauma medicine…that wud relate very much to physiotherapy…and not forgotting the major department for this is ORTHOPAEDIC

Question by tharey123: What should I major in if I want a career in Physical Therapy?
Well I’m in my first year of college and the career of Physical Therapy interests me. I know its competitive but is it really as they say? Most careers are competitive. I don’t really like Science but when I think about it, I havent really taken much science courses in high school. What if I have all my pre requisites and God forbid I dont get in PT school? What should I major in?

UCSB Physiology, UCD NPB, or UCSD animal physiology/anatomy major for Physical Therapy career?
Posted by admin in Careers in PT on March 16, 2012
Question by kthxk: UCSB Physiology, UCD NPB, or UCSD animal physiology/anatomy major for Physical Therapy career?
For undergrad school, assuming I get in all three of these UC’s, I would have a dilemma of choosing Physiology, neuroscience, physiology, and behavior, or animal physiology or the anatomy major to prepare for Physical therapy grad school. I am not sure which one is best as I think some majors will require pointless classes that would not apply to my career. Help!

Answer by dentalchick2016
make sure you pick a major because you like it, not for the sole purpose of preparing you for grad school….I mean, what if you didnt get into your chosen grad school, would you be happy to make a living w/ your chosen undergrad degree? I’m preparing for dental school, while at first I jumped on the band wagon and chose to major in biology and knowing my passion for music I decided that I should major in music for my plan B, not biology, should dental school not work, after all the committee really doesn’t care what you major in. I hope that helps in some way!
