This question serves two purposes for the interviewer. First, it is an opportunity to get to know you more personally and connect with you as an applicant. Second, it is a way for the interviewer to evaluate your motivations for applying to PT school beyond a desire to help people or the PT salary.

"In high school, I had my hopes set on becoming a pediatrician because I loved kids. I went to college as a pre-med student until I injured myself playing club soccer. The doctor who treated my injury sent me to physical therapy. That exposure to the field changed everything for me, and I immediately became interested in physical therapy over pre-med."
