Overall GPA vs Prerequisites GPA

[mygoalistobeapa]

During my younger years, I faced various challenges that prevented me from achieving good grades. However, upon returning to school to apply for my PA program, I have earned all A's. Can I still be considered?

Overall GPA: 3.12

Science GPA: 3.33

Prerequisites GPA: 4.0

You'll still be considered but both your overall and science GPA is below average. Your pre-req GPA is phenomenal though, so that could buffer your application. What's your PCE, community service/volunteer hours, extracurricular activities like?

The longer it has been since "your younger years," the easier it probably will be to paint a good picture in your essay.
