Guest HanSolo Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Michael, You have shared a lot about your personal life and information on this forum. There is even a picture of you to go along with it. Not saying there is anything wrong with that, but all of this information is freely available about you when you apply for PA school, jobs, etc. I don't want to discourge you from posting in the future. All I am saying is you should be aware that some admission committees will do some digging on you, and you don't want to post anything on here that could be potentially cast in a negative light. Food for thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Food for thought. I appreciate that, Han. I have thought before if I should take my picture down or change my name. I don't think I've crossed over any boundary yet; I try to be as professional as possible, but since I do get personal and open up about my life occasionally, I do consider it. Maybe just to be safe it's a good idea to do it. Thanks for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, I noticed that too haha. I can't seem to change my name on here, though. I took my photo down but can't see anywhere to edit things like username.

I've been looking at schools in NC, mostly, but having some options in SC isn't a bad idea either. Thanks for that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since I was focused on staying in NC I never actually looked much into SC schools but that's not a bad idea at all. I appreciate it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked up the SC schools and they're all closer than the NC schools are to me. There's only 4 in SC that I found so it can't hurt for me to apply to those as well! 3 of the 4 have provisional accreditation, so I think that's something worth watching for me. I have some time, so I will definitely be doing more research into the programs to see if they are worth it. I've heard some nightmare stories about students at newly minted programs with didactic year going unorganized and not having the rotations needed for being prepared in certain fields. I appreciate that, though, again. I'll be doing my research and learning about the schools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their admins screen all their email and junks probably 80% of it.I figured that was probably the case. Oh well. No sweat off my brow :) Was just in curious state-of-mind. Thanks for that insight, though. It makes sense.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
