StudentPA Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Nice job. Upon quick reading I only found one error. When you say " I was sponge for my doctors and PA’s..." the error is that PA's would be Physician's Assistant. The proper term would be PAs without the apostrophe as the 's indicates a sense of possessiveness. This not the case for a PA. PAs can be largely independent medical providers although they are supervised by a physician this does not mean that the supervising physician owns or possesses them.

FeignReluctance Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Great PS. Re-read it for some minor grammatical errors (a few words missing here and there) and verb tense issues. I'm in the same boat as you: shoddy undergrad GPA but rocking a near-perfect pre-req GPA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Steve Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I may be beating a dead horse, as your wife trumps me (as she should) but both Yakima and Spokane are desert. I stayed in a very nice, new, three bedroom duplex with a two car garage, fenced yard, landscaping as part of the cost, in a neighborhood 3 miles from school that was safe and you could walk to the grocery store for 950/month. I had a couple of roommates so it made it very affordable. yes, I'm talking about UW/MEDEX again. They value experience far more than GPA. You need to be smart but life experience carries a lot of weight. Put the pitch to her.. maybe she'll soften over time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMarie Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Hi Rich! I just wanted to tell you that I wish you the best of luck! You have an awesome story, and I am so glad your wife is now on board for you to apply to MEDEX. I am also applying there, to the Seattle campus. You will be a wonderful PA someday, don't give up hope! Take care! Gina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mickey008 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Great essay ! I got a question though ! How are the medics planning on showing the medic duties as healthcare hours ? I mean is there some paperwork which calculates hours ? I have been in 4 years , time to get out and apply to pa school , but other than my regular medic duties I dont have any other experience . I just concentrated on my B.S. Biotech , finished it , now , I hear about this health care experience ... how do i go about that ? any help?

sijia Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 PM Inbound my bacgelor degree GPA is 2.31 and science GPA for pre-reqs is 4.0, but my overall GOA combining BA and psot-BA degree is still not reaching 3.0 yet. I wonder whether taking more science coures matters or not if some schools just focus on your BA GPA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sijia Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 PM Inbound Also, how could you fit so many words in CASPA PS? It says 5000 characters including spsces and punctuations. Somewhere a post said it is about 600 words? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sijia Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 5000 characters or approximately 625 words. It's been re-written but it fit no problem. If I recall, when this last one was submitted, it was like 4998 characters. Rich Wish you good luck, uscbigdawg!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sartort Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I think when you hit the 3.0 you will find you get some interviews. If you could get a LOR from a PA instead of just docs I think that would help, and apply to programs that love military/high amounts of HCE. I recommend applying at University of Utah and UW MEDEX next round. I'm not from either state but got interviews at both (didn't go to Utah though) and my cum. GPA wasn't much above what yours will be next cycle and I had less HCE. They both focus on military with high HCE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
