Goldielocks Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 I'm starting to lose faith and I'm looking for hope to hear if anyone ever got in with a low GPA? I applied to one school last year because I wanted to stay home (BIG MISTAKE). This cycle I will be applying to 15+ schools and applying EARLY. What are my chances getting in this cycle? Here are my stats: Female. 25 years old. 3,500 PCE 3,500 HCE (continuing) 600+ volunteer hours Leader to nursery children at church. Medical Mission trip 50 hrs PA shadowing cGPA: 3.12 sGPA: 3.36 (will be 3.54 in December 2019) pGPA: 3.78 (average depending on schools' requirements) Last 45-60 credits: 3.67 GPA LORs: 1 Professor, 1 PA, 1 NP.

Goldielocks, If you look at my stats on the "PA Applicant Stats Page" on page 51 you will see that I did get in with a low GPA. I did however have military experience as a Med Lab Tech/Medic for 4yrs (92-96) so I believe that helped. Feel free to ask me any further questions and good luck and don't give up on your dream Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmtpnw Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 I think you've definitely got a shot if you apply to schools carefully and write a killer PS. Look for programs that emphasize that last 60 credits and will appreciate your upward trend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PAhopeful85 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 (edited) I got in first cycle with a 3.16 cGPA and 3.47 sGPA. Last 32 credits 4.0. It’s doable. Edited February 28, 2019 by PAhopeful85 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
