k.mofor Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Hello guys.Congratulations to you all on getting accepted into the UTPA program. My name is Kelly. I am currently a senior at UTSA...i graduate next spring(2016) and plan on getting into a PA school. (UTPA is my first choice ) I wanted to ask if you don't mind sharing with me your experience as far as the application process is concerned. I finished in May and plan on applying in June? Idk if that's too late. I know this is a huge favor to ask but does anyone mind sharing with me what their GPA, GRE, AND HCE range was?. I'm just trying to get a feel of what they're looking for. My current gpa is a 3.8 overall. ..my science gpa is 3.5. I haven't taken the GRE yet..still studying for it. Also i am a Certified Nurse Aide and i work as a homehealth aide. idk if that is a good idea or should I work in a hospital or nursing home instead? I've been working for about 10 months now part time..I'll say i have about 300hrs HCE. ( I know I have to get that up)...ANY ADVICE OR INFORMATION FROM ANYONE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. Thanks and have a good day! :) Sent from my SM-N910T using Tapatalk Sent from my SM-N910T using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshg333 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Your gpa is great and by the time you apply for the program, i am sure you'll have alot more HCE. I am also going to apply for the program next year, and as a senior at UTPA and have talking to the students and PA stuff, they really want a high gpa, direct patient care, at least 50 hours of shadowing, and also very important is volunteer work. Also some students have told me that having a science degree is prefer. They also have a Pa open house this coming August and its free to attend. I hope this helps you out :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
