S Brake Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 A low GPA can be offset by increasing HCE and having lots of PA shadowing hours, likely a couple hundred hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbeginning Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Also scoring high on the GRE can boost your competitiveness. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDrunner11 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Rock the personal statement. Make sure people edit it and include strong points of why you want to be a PA and what would make you a quality PA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaheen100 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I'm aware it's competitive, and they tend to focus on individuals with a lot of med experience. Am I comp? I plan on applying to all the schools that don't require the GRE. What are the chances of getting accepted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator EMEDPA Posted January 3, 2014 Moderator Share Posted January 3, 2014 get all As from here on out. work as an emt for at least a yr after graduation and your chances of acceptance will go way up. borderline gpa(most use a 3.0 cutoff) + minimal experience is not competitive for many programs.

You don't have much in the way of sciences, are missing pre-reqs, have a mediocre GPA, do not plan to take the GRE, and do not have HCE. You can get there but need to work hard over the next couple of years. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
