PAgirl199 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 I just want some advice on my application! I applied last cycle as a junior in college with 35 credits left to take. To no surprise, I got rejected from all 12 schools I applied to (NYS area). I have approximately 1500-2000+ hours as a CNA in 2 locations (a nursing home and ICU step down unit). When I applied my GPA was 3.4 while sGPA was a 3.19. With taking these 33 credits to finish my bachelors in Health Science with a concentration in Emergency and critical care, then graduate in May, I hope to improve my GPA to a 3.5 and sGPA up as well. I also volunteer when I can at a soup kitchen and a kids fitness club (total between both maybe 100 hours). I took my GRE and received a 150V/ 147Q / 3.5W. Any advice on how to boost my application for the 2019 cycle in may? I plan to apply once i receive my grades back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My situation was slightly different from yours but the school I applied and got accepted to would look at your last 60 credits if you did not have a cGPA of 3.2. My GRE scores were almost identical to yours....I did take Pathophysiology and Endocrinology to help boost my application as well. Good luck and don't give up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aba51 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 I would suggest retaking the GRE and aiming for at least a 300 and 4W. My cGPA was the same as yours but my sGPA was slightly higher. Make sure you have a great personal statement and stellar LORs from people/employers/a PA who know you well and can attest to your ability to being a good PA. Good luck!
