First of all, good for you for checking out this question early so you can be prepared for what you need to do in college and beyond.
Typical majors are in the sciences such as biology or kinesiology but psychology or communication can work too.
Here's the key: I recommend that no matter what your undergrad degree major is, that you make sure you meet the prerequisites of the PT schools you are intending to apply to. So, first, identify several PT schools that you want to apply to then go into the school's on-line catalog and see what each particular school requires for admission to PT school. (there may be comparison apps as well) For example, some schools may require a microbiology course or an advanced chemistry but others may not. Just be sure that you use your undergrad elective credits to take any courses outside of those required by your major that you may need to meet the PT prerequisites. And always apply to more than one PT school!
