Your stats are good enough to get you an interview at most schools; barring you don't have any adverse recommendations and your personal narrative reads well. You didn't list your experience with PAs and this is what schools are going to want to see. Whether shadowing or working with PA and having them write you a letter of recommendation. They want to know you know what the PA career field entails. Thusly, it will come down to your performance at the interview. If you can avoid expletives and string together educated responses you shouldn't have any issue of getting into a program. Best of luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MT2PA Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 It's less about how many but which ones. Your HCE is weak so don't go all in at programs where the average matriculating student has 4000+ hrs of high quality HCE - you won't likely fare well there for example.
