What does it take to get into physical therapy school?

Me and some of my friends were talking about it, and if we had a shot at it. I am currently an athletic training major, who just won an award for being the head student athletic trainer, I have cataloged 10 physical rehabilitation cases in just 1 semester through the college athletic training department (I am only in my first year...I will have clocked about 1000 hours assisting rehab under supervision by graduation and yes I do understand that observation is counted ONLY if it was through a licensed physical therapy pracitioner), I am an emergency medical technician basic with over 200 hours of volunteer EMS time, I will be working this summer in a surgical/ortho department of a hospital, and I have a GPA of 3.91 with a 4.00 in all science/behavioral science courses. I am also bilingual and come from a medically underserved area (I know that in some states that actually does count towards admission). Just looking at that, can anybody tell me what my chances of getting into a Doctorate of Physical Therapy program after I obtain my degree? I also intend on getting my license and being an Athletic Trainer Certified (ATC).
