Anachronist Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Pretty solid all around, you should expect several interviews. At that point it comes down to the interview itself which preparation will help with. Be comfortable with talking about all of the general "PA interview questions" and know about some current PA topics, name change, independent practice, etc. Also put in some effort on the GRE, you want to 300+ it to make sure you meet the requirements, ace-ing it isn't as important, just go for a 150+/150+/4+. GPA is "good" but not "awesome," but not much you can do about that now (but it won't raise any red flags). You're safe there. PCA is good, better than a lot of folks. Volunteering and shadowing are also both good. GRE, Personal Statement, and the interview itself are the only outliers at this point. Best of luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SrTaM Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 I think your chances are good - make sure your personal statement is solid (and unique), then rock the interviews. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
