MamboSauce Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 I am applying for my first time to PA school. I am sending out applications to about 10 programs and I am curious (just like everyone else) about my chances of acceptance. I don't have the highest GPA but I have good experiences. GPA: 3.21 Science: 3.08 PCE: 8000 Most preReqs that I am looking at is about a 3.2-3.4 gpa. I have experience as a EMT,CNA, and Sexual assault advocate. I graduated from graduate school (MPH) with a 3.52. And basically what is holding my gpa back is physics...unfortunately I have about 8 credits worth of Cs in those courses and I know most places do not do grade forgiveness. Also, I actually did some research in accepted applicants of programs with mediocre GPA and sGPA as well... Any thoughts or tips on my acceptance and possible schools :)?

Moderator EMEDPA Posted July 11, 2015 Moderator Share Posted July 11, 2015 3.21/3.1 IS NOT mediocre, especially given the MPH with a 3.5. If you have > 1000 hrs of HCE you should do fine. "mediocre" is < 3.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyNameWasUsed Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 well if you're under 3.0, some schools won't even look at your application so isn't that worse than mediocre... Your 8000 PCE hours and MPH puts you at good odds of getting accepted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
