svasan1 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I am currently applying to PA schools and have already gotten some rejections due to a low undergrad GPA. I came across Missouri State and applied because they take the last 60 hrs. I have a B.S. in Biology About to finish a M.S. in Medical Sciences Have several PA shadowing hours in different departments Have a great amount of patient contact hours. My gpa for undergrad is below a 3.0 (bad first 2 years) My gpa for last 60 hours is 3.4 GRE: verbal 420 math 650 Do I look like a good applicant for this program?

momed Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 What kind of patient care experience do you have. My GPA was right at a 3.0 and GRE was comparable but where I sold myself was my experience. If you have "hands-on" experience, you may be able to buffer that a bit. I would encourage anyone to apply to PA school. If you don't try then you will never know. :-) Good luck!

momed Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Sounds like you would be a good candidate to interview. It's all about the schools that you apply to. Don't let a few rejections bring you down. Keep your head up and push forward. If you want it bad enough, it will happen! Good luck on your future.
