WillDaniel Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 I went to a school my freshman year and did terribly, changed my major a couple of times and later transferred.

Spragale Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 As far as I am aware, your chances are 0 right now. Most programs have a minimum cGPA of 3.0 and several have a minimum of 2.75. At every school that I am aware of, if you don't meet those minimums then your application will not receive a review and will be auto-screened out. I had a similar background as you. I think my freshman year was like a 1.1 GPA and I was academically dismissed. Changed majors and schools a couple times also. Years later I was admitted to multiple programs on my first time applying with 7 F's and 4 D's and a ton of A's which bumped my cGPA to just above 3.0. Improve your GPA and apply broadly to programs that take a holistic view of applicants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sxc23 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Hi, there! Your science GPA is great and you have a significant amount of HCE hours, which is fantastic! However, most schools require a cumulative GPA of 3.0 as a minimum. I believe if you fall under this, the programs will not even look at your application. I would recommend going to back to school (if at all possible), and taking courses that will help you bump that cGPA over at least a 2.75 at the minimum. Over a 3.0 would be ideal. There are only a handful of schools who allow GPAs under 3.0s. since PA school is getting more and more competitive. I think if you can get that cGPA up, your other stats will help offset the low GPA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
