Physical Therapy Will my GRE scores keep me from getting into PT school?

[Mr.Smile12]

Hi! I am currently an undergraduate student and am planning on applying to PT schools this summer. I just took the GRE and didn't do as well as I hoped. I have been pretty anxious about this score being a limiting factor of getting into any schools. Does anyone know of any schools that don't look as heavily at the GRE?

My stats:
GPa: 3.6
science/prereq:3.4
GRE: Q:150, V:146, W:4.0
I have has 3 jobs in Physical Therapy clinics with a lot of work hours that I can put down(around 500). I also have over 100 observation hours in 4-5 different settings. I am involved in a lot of extracurricular activities and volunteering. I believe my recommendations are very solid as well, but am afraid this GRE score will limit me from getting in anywhere!

Thanks for the help!

I'm not sure about PT programs not taking the GRE, so you'll have to contact the programs on your wish list. The GRE optional movement seems to be more at the Ph.D level to me.
