I would think its fairly significant. You can check out some colleges with Physical Therapy programs and see what their admissions process is and perhaps find some clue as to how important it is.

Here’s an example from USC. They have a FAQ page that includes questions and answers about GRE scores. http://pt.usc.edu/sublayout.aspx?menu_id=52&id=72&ekmensel=568fab5c_52_0_72_5

CSU Northridge has a similar page: http://www.csun.edu/hhd/pt/documents/FAQAdmissions11-09.pdf

    It’s a fairly large component. Like GPA, there are certain standards set by the school (usually at least 800 to 1000), but most schools prefer to see a higher score.
