-SDN has added a second forum to keep discussions and issues separate between current PTs/PT students and pre-PT students. This is because a lot of the forum was being taken over by threads about pre-req classes/admissions/essays/schools so they made a separate forum so that there remains a place where relevant issues and questions to the field can be discussed. It would be a good idea to stay up to date on both forums, using them both for your specific needs. However, do be respectful by not cluttering up the PT forum with Pre-PT questions.

PT Schools Ranked

I believe I mentioned this at some point on this site but remember PT school ranking are not all that important. Your future employer will not care where you went the school whether you went to a top 10 ranked PT school or a school in the 200's. All they care about is you graduated from an accredited program and you pass your liscensure exam.
