ems94 Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Hey everyone, just wanted to share my story with applying to PA school to hopefully help/inspire some others out there! This is my third cycle applying to PA school. My first cycle, I applied to 14 schools, got 4 interviews and from those 2 waitlist offers and 2 nos. My second cycle, I applied to 11 schools, went on 5 interviews (declined one), and again had 3 waitlist offers and 2 nos. This cycle, I applied to 19 schools, I've only heard back from 7 so far, have gone on 5 interviews and just received my first acceptance last week!! I've learned a lot from all these interviews and application cycles and am beyond excited to receive my first acceptance! If anyone has any questions for me about my stats/clinical info or whatever message me, I'm an open book! Good luck to everyone out there, I know how difficult this process is and am willing to share my experiences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My acceptance was from a private school in a different state! First off, I'm very happy for you. Congratulations! Looking at your numbers (only looking at GPA's bc I haven't started racking up PCH yet) and the fact that you had to apply 3 times makes me nervous because my current GPA (I'm a senior finishing undergrad right now) is exactly a 3.25 with my sGPA definitely lower than that (haven't calculated it yet - too scared). I admire your determination! Any advice you'd share with people like me? Be as honest as you want, I need criticism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NPthePA2018 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Wow, congratulations!!! I love your dedication/work ethic and you really deserve to be a PA (and you'll be a wicked great one at that) Again, congratulations and best of luck in PA school!!

StevenA Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Awesome work! I am surprised it took you 3 cycles. My GPA is not that high and by the time I start applying I don't know if I'll even have as much PCE/HCE as you, so that worries me. Good luck at PA school!
