Needing Honest Feedback - PA Admissions

[jth5gj]

I am writing in regards to my wife and her interest in getting into a PA program. She is very smart, she has an undergraduate degree in Psychology with a 3.88 gpa and a 4.0 gpa in all required PA program science courses (Chemistry, Biology, etc.). She also made those grades while working part-time and playing soccer full-time for her University. By the time she applies for the PA program (at Bridgeport University) she will have around 2500 hours of direct patient care as a home health aid (I know that is not the most noteworthy), around 100 hours as a neurofeedback technician, and around 100 hours interning with a Pediatrician (with quite a bit of hands on experience).

 

 

I would really appreciate some honest feedback.

 

 

Where do you think she will stand in the application process?

Pretty strong applicant as long as LOR, personal statement, etc are in order.

Agreed, likely a strong applicant. Best of luck to her!

The fact that you, not she, is asking is a mark against her. You need to be a good bit Type-A to get into and thrive in a PA program...

Thank you for your input. She actually has done a significant amount when it comes to PA stuff; I just wanted to do something on the side and find out for myself where she stands.

[jth5gj]

Thank you. God bless.

She certainly has the credentials!

She should be a pretty competitive applicant most places. But given the size of the applicant pool, always have a "plan B" for a year...

Why do people even make these threads showboating they have a 3.88 gpa? Do you honestly think you need a 4.0 to get into PA school?

I apologize that you feel that way; that was certainly not my intention. I know that getting into PA school takes more than just a high gpa - that's why I was asking.
