SwimmingFever Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Hello everyone, I am graduating this semester and want to improve my GPA for PA school. I recently applied to a Master's in Biomedical Science Program in order to improve my science GPA. My overall Gpa is 3.2 and my science GPA is 3.045. I earned a D in Genetics and Organic Chemstry. I repeated Organic Chem and got a B so it doesn't help my Gpa too much. Do you all think that the Masters degree is worth it? The only healthcare experience I have is 25 hours shadowing a DO in primary care. I really want to become a PA , but my grades just aren't there. I plan on volunteering at my local hospital this summer. Is it worth applying to PA schools or should I pursue other careers like nursing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cinntsp Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 You should just take additional undergrad science courses while working in healthcare to gain HCE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lymphonucleosis Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Hey guy. I think your best bet is to retake those classes and find a good study pattern. When I first got out of highschool I was in a RN program and it was much harder then undergrad classes. Pharmacology makes organic look like a cakewalk! Lol don't think that going into a nursin program will raise your gpa, it will probably lower it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
