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?

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

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:
