mandrew1 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Are these "Minimal" requirements or Median, actual, numbers for "accepted" students? Most minimal requirements are far lower than those who are actually accepted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roundabout Posted August 10, 2019 Author Share Posted August 10, 2019 @mandrew1 they are minimum requirements. Anyone with low stats getting into PA school is an outlier in the application process. These schools are listed to provide guidance into what programs someone with say a 2.9 gpa can even apply to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laferri2 Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 To be honest, I think most schools won't even look at someone with a GPA at their "minimum" mark unless the rest of the application is amazing or they have a huge upward trend. IMO the minimums are set so low to get more applications, and thus more fees, that can be thrown away as soon as they are opened. Sad but true. Instead of targeting low GPA schools I would target schools that explicitly say they will look at the last 60 GPA. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDraper Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 CASPA's GPA Calculator can be downloaded from their website: https://help.liaisonedu.com/CASPA_Applicant_Help_Center/Submitting_and_Monitoring_Your_CASPA_Application/Verification_and_GPA_Calculations_for_CASPA/2_How_Your_GPA_is_Calculated You'll need to type in all of your courses individually, so it takes some time. To standardize a wide variety of transcripts, CASPA converts 1 quarter unit = 0.667 semester units. Do not be surprised if the calculated GPA is lower than you expected. This is common. So as others have advised, always shoot for above the minimums. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roundabout Posted June 9, 2020 Author Share Posted June 9, 2020 To anyone reading this post. I have not updated this list in awhile. Most of the data I got in 2018 so requirements and gpa's etc have likely changed at many programs. I'm hoping to compile a new list in the near future. Good luck to all of this cycle's applicants. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAstudentcp2021 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Using My PA Box is a great way to compare your stats to average accepted student stats. For the programs that publish their class profiles (including average GPA of student they accept), My PA Box organizes that info (along with all requirements, prerequisites, PCE hours required, etc.) on one easy to use platform. Check it out at www.mypabox.com. It's a really great new resource for pre-PA students. Use code PATHTOPA for 15% off your yearly subscription ! & message me on Instragram @thepathtopa if you have any questions about it or any pre-PA questions in general!!!

Jossy Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Western Michigan University https://wmich.edu/pa/academics/apply is really good and they need a minimum of 3.0 in the last 60 credit hours, a colleague from my employee tracking company graduated from this university and I've only heard good things, so I'm thinking of pursuing a second higher here.

DestroOrthoStar Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 PA school becoming like starbucks ... one every corner ... I think anyone with mediocre grades and can get a student loan should feel comfortable putting an application fwd .... get some easy health care job and make it sound good .... many PA programs count scribe as health care experience .... some PA programs do not require it at all 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
