Paying for School
It is no secret that no matter where you go grad school will be expensive. On top of this, application fees and traveling to interviews make it that much more costly. Remember though, that no matter where you go to school you will go into debt to pay for school. However, you can go to schools that cost much less than others. State schools (especially with in state tuition) will be a fraction of the price of a private school. In my own experience if I could do it all over again I would have applied to a majority of state schools with 2 or 3 private schools as back-ups.
Unless you have a rich uncle most students have to take out loans to pay for PT school. This is inevitable, so don't feel like your burying yourself in debt, just think of it as an investment. Your putting money in now for a better education to have a good, stable job that will provide a good income in the future.
TIP: Don't limit yourself when applying to schools because you are afraid your application fees will be too much. These fees, and travel expenses are just a drop in the bucket compared to what you will be paying for school. Just think of it as an investment. The more effort you are willing to put into getting into school, which includes cost, the better chance you have of getting in. Once you are in school, you will graduate will a solid job that will allow you to pay off your debts. Count on the fact that with your future job these debts will be paid off in a reasonable time frame.
