Abox85 Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 The thing with PA school chances are it is VERY dependent on which schools you apply to. You need to do research on some top school choices and go to their webpages and find out what the stats of their most cohort were. This lets you know if your stats are in line with what they have accepted. Your GPAs will likely not be an issue at any school but some schools may want more PCE or letters from people that can attest to those clinical skills. GRE factors into some schools, but not others. The point here is that you need to research each school you wish to apply to and match your stats with their averages. If they are close, then you'd like have a good shot.

MT2PA Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Average. Every program is different and any answer you get here is pure speculation. I could lie and tell you you're a shoe-in, but you aren't. No one is. They only way to find out your chances is apply and see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes there is no rhyme or reason in the decision making. I am a good example. Spent some of my teenage years in juvie. Ended up getting my GED in my mid-twenties. Messed up and caught another ten months for a bag of heroin in my rectum, at the Canadian border. Parents were able to get a special favor called in at a diploma mill down in the Caribbean. Got a degree in hemp weaving and small engine repair. Took a chance about a year later, filled out some Caspa forms and presto, I'm a PA.

Janie55 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 No one can say what your chances are. Just submit, take a deep breath and start practicing for interviews. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
