Ask a PA Admissions Director


Recommended Posts

Hello, I plan on applying for the next coming term. I am concerned about my background check. I was charged with a felony back in 2017 for marijuana. It was one charge over 20 grams in the state of Florida. I was put on probation but the charge was withheld adjudicated. I then got the charge sealed (not expunged, sealed). So overall, I was not convicted of a felony. 

 

Will this affect my application at all? THANK YOU!!

Hello I have a quick question. I applied for the 2021 cycle. I have been accepted into a program and had an additional interview. I have two additional interviews coming up in next two months that list genetics as recommended but not required. I listed genetics as in progress on caspa app. I am registered at my community college for genetics for fall 2021 semester. My work situation has changed recently and I am no longer able to attend that class at the time. I am looking into a self paced online courses at UNE. If got into either of the schools that listed genetics as recommended, could they revoke my acceptance if I did not take genetics as i had originally planned? If so, is UNE a good option. Thank you in advance.

Hi I am an applicant for the 2022 cycle. I would like to know what are my chances to get into a PA program, since I have applied to 10+ programs, but I have heard anything back. I think it is due to my poor performance during my freshman and sophomore year. cGPA is 3.1, sGPA<3.0. General chemistry I and II are both C-. Organic chemistry are all C. My human anatomy and physiology courses are all A. I work as an MA in clinics for 4 years and logged more than 2000 hours of direct patient care. I have a recommendation letter from an MD, an NP, my supervisor, 2 professors from A&P. I have been rejected by quite a few and still waiting for the rest. No interviews yet. Can you advise me what should I do?
