fakingpatience Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Hi all With so many different PA programs and requirements, I have been having a hard time figuring out which prerequisites to take. So I'm making a spread sheet comparing all the different PA programs by length, cost, and science requirements. Figured I might as well post it here, in hopes my compulsion could help someone else. So far I'm only at the Michigan schools (going alphabetically), but I will repost it when I have more complete. Let me know if you have any questions on it (I used abbreviations and shorthand that might only make sense to me). I put down the best information I could find, but I don't vouch for the total accuracy of it, especially the tuition; some programs do not post it out right, so its a guestimate based on other tuition info they have posted. Also, tuition is out of state, aside from the CA schools. ETA: I have changed the uploaded document to the completed school list, if anyone has any corrections/ additions let me know and I can fix it Still can't upload the excel document, but if anyone is having trouble with the PDF, shoot me a PM and I can email it to you PA program details posting Sheet1.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perfectversec Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 For some reason when I download this and open it up in adobe, it comes out all messed up. Anyone else have this problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakingpatience Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 You're welcome! I'm glad other people have found this useful. I edited the document I had attached, so it now includes all the schools under the arc-pa website as accredited. perfectversec, if you PM me your email address I can send it to you in excel format Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timon Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 The OP needs to upload the excel spreadsheet and not the PDF in order for the data to worked and looked at correctly. Otherwise you could do various ways of manipulating the information but it would take some time to complete that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakingpatience Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 I attempted to upload the original excel document many times, but got an error saying I am not able to upload that type of file. Do you have any suggestions how to make it work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timon Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 So it wont let you upload any type of spreadsheet. I tried csv and various excel version and document spreadsheets. What I was able to do is change the formatting of the PDF and make it so you can zoom in or just print it to fit an 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper. So now everything lines up. If you want to put it in a spreadsheet you should be able to copy and paste it now and they should line up rows to columns. Enjoy.

fakingpatience Posted February 28, 2014 Author Share Posted February 28, 2014 As an update, I crunched some numbers on required classes (trying to convince myself I didn't need O Chem!), and heres what I've found with how many schools require a certain science class: GRE: 75 Chem 1: 125 Chem 2: 104 Bio 1: 86 Bio 2: 58 A&P 1: 136 A&P 2: 134 Micro: 117 O Chem 1: 83 (some will sub biochem for o chem 1) Bio chem: 40 (some schools say can be o chem 2 instead) Genetics: 26 Medical Terminology: 37 Physics: 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cinntsp Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 117 require micro but only 86/58 require a biology series? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakingpatience Posted February 28, 2014 Author Share Posted February 28, 2014 From what they specify on their websites. That being said, some have a more broad requirement, such as 2 upper level bio classes, and for those (and micro and some schools) bio is a prerequisite, so still necessary for the applicant to have taken.

tbrandenstein Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Being from Michigan, and even after transplanting to Indiana... the lord knows I still love to make fun of Ohio. That being said, 10 PA programs in a relatively small state, is quite impressive! I wonder why they have so many? Good on you Ohio... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
