cs29 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Well that's good news! Good luck on your interview :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssarnold Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Based on people who got interviews, seems like Anne Arundel cares more about patient care hours than GPA. I think Towson is the opposite - lots of emphasis on prerequisite GPA especially. Also some out-of-state people...... Just curious, why Anne Arundel if you live outside of Maryland/DC area?

alina98 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Give them a call, and ask how to improve your application, make an appt for that, it will help you. I have over 10 000 hours of HCE, GPA is not very high, but all the prereq I took at their college are As Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradyg007 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 My GPAs are similar to yours ssarnold. Little lower science and I have 5000 hours as an emt. I'm comin from Colorado but have family in MD which is why I applied. And I liked what the schools mission statement and talking to past PA students there. Seems like a good fit me for plus having family close by for support is a plus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yaklloyd Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 does anyone know how many applications they got this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kms111211 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 ssarnold, I got the opposite impression from AACC and Towson. That's weird! Whereas Towson specifically asks for at least 400 HCE hours to apply (800+ I think to be considered competitive?), AACC doesn't require HCE but does state on their website that the average number of HCE hours of accepted students is something like 1600. I know AACC ranks applicants by GPA's first (overall GPA, then science GPA... something like that) before HCE when they decide who to invite for interviews -- at least according to their website. I guess they could always change without notice. I'm not sure how Towson decides on interviews. Consistency among programs would make this process easier, huh? :xD: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradyg007 Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 If you look at AACC last 3 year averages last year was 10,000 HCE hours, cGPA 3.5 and pre feq GPA of 3.66.... And yes!! Having a universal acceptance would be nice. But I don't see it changin anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ljgiblin Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Just for your FYI, the school was closed Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday cause of Hurricane Sandy so today was the first day back.
