jenkinsij Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 (edited) Hey all, Been reading a lot about applicants who have taken a biology/health-science/etc. masters program in an effort to improve their GPA or to "show" PA schools that they can handle tough, upper level coursework. I was wondering what you'd consider the "cut-off" to be for when you should or should not pursue a masters? Anything less than 3.7? 3.6? 3.5? 3.4? Quite frankly I've been considering this myself (I'd be happy to provide my stats). I know a lot of factors obviously go into a decision like this (trends, cGPA, sGPA, pre-reqGPA, HCE, shadowing, the application as a whole, etc.), but just kinda wondering what peoples inclinations are on this. Thanks! Edited December 11, 2019 by jenkinsij changing title Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samson113 Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 (edited) I got into PA school with a little less than a 3.7 cgpa with only an undergrad if that helps. I made up for it with my experience I think. i feel anything less than a 3.5 I would have done something drastic like a masters.
