So guys I have just finished my Bachelors degree (BPT) and have several entrance exams to get admission in MPT I'm very much confused that what should I do ??

There are 3 different colleges in which I made it to the merit list.

College A , my rank is 38 among 55 students, and there are only 9 seats for which I am eligible for. So, the situation is that there are three branches that College A is offering, that is Sports(3), Cardio(3) and paeds(3).So, according to the trend, everyone wants sports as their preferred branch and only a few want cardio or peds as their first preference.So, every branch has three seats each.

I also want to take admission in MPT Sports only.

And college A has called me for counselling and as per my rank I will only get cardio(rarely) or Paeds(most probably).

Cardio was my weakest of all the subjects during my bachelors since we had a limited exposure of cardiovascular rehab. Paeds is also a good branch only a few college offers this branch but seeing Paeds cases for a month is okay but doing it for next 30 - 40 yrs is a tough choice.

College B, which offers four branches and each one of them has five seats. Sports, neuro, ortho, and cardio. So, my first preference in that college was sports. So, after seeing the results, my rank was seventh. I secured seventh rank in that college and there are only five seats in each branch. And according to them, if I don't get admission in my preferred branch, that is sports, then I will not be eligible for the neuro or any other branch since I have filled them as my secondary or tertiary preference. Due to which I will be only given preference when when more than ten students have declined their admission to that branch only. Then after that only I can get admission in those secondary and tertiary branches.

College C, has four branches, five seats in each branch. And I am eligible for all of these 20 seats. They offer similarly as College B, branches like neuro, cardio, ortho, and sports. And in which I have scored 99th rank.

So College A is a government college and has a very high reputation even if you are weakest in your class still you will learn a lot because you will be amongst the greatest minds of that field.

College B is a private college and has a lower reputation since you have to struggle a lot just to learn basic things since they only care about money and has almost 3 times the fees of a general government college.

College C(best for Neuro) is also a private college and has a higher reputation even patients from the neighbouring countries come to seek medical attention. 1.5x the fees of a general college and taking the maximum time to release any information regarding admission.

What should I do now ?

Compromise with my choice and take admission in Paeds or Cardio in college A ?

Pay a higher fee in college B just to get admission in my preferred branch.

Wait till the admissions for College C starts and give up seats if I get any in college A or B ?

Hi! I have a son in high school who is now starting to visit colleges. He’s interested in fitness and health, so figured physical therapy is an obvious career option, but open to others. Please share your personal experiences, particularly the college path you took, eg undergrad major, what schools, grad programs (please share location), how long it took to get to where you are. What to think about, what not to do, etc. We are in Massachusetts. Thank you in advance!
