UGoLong Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Looks reasonable. What's your undergrad degree in? What shadowing experience do you have? Why do you want to be a PA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UGoLong Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 You have an unusual background: a non-BS in a different field than most applicants. Still you apparently have the prereqs. A little light on the shadowing time and just starting to get a bit more respectable with the HCE. All that said and done, I see no harm in applying. The key for you may very well be your unusual academic background, which may be a plus in that you stand out from other applicants. I once had a med school recruiter (not for me -- for my daughter) tell me that the best med student the large college ever had was a photography major. Your personal statement is going to be unusually important. I am still not sure why you want to be a PA. You started out in pre-med and something happened?

scparker2015 Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 I was an English major and I had almost your exact stats (my science GPA was actually lower) and I got in to all 7 school to which I applied, including Duke. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taotaox1 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 English major with same GPA. I got into plenty of schools. I had more hce, but I wouldn't be shocked if you at least got a few interviews. Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PACShrink Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 I agree with UGO Long- Being a non-science major may make you stand out in a good way. Some of my classmates that did very well in our program were not from a science intensive background. As I have mentioned in other posts, some programs do not require GRE scores. Others may require them but, not put a heavy emphasis on the #. Just out of curiosity, I see you have applied to programs in New England, Mid Atlantic and west coast. Is there a specific aspect you are looking for in a program? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G. Davenport Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Unless you drop the interview ball, I firmly believe a program that meets your HCE will pick you. Good luck. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
