dwolf Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Your odds will partly depend upon which program you apply to. However, most of the programs are accepting between 2% and 8% of applicants. In 2014 LLU PA received 1229 applicants and accepted 30. http://www.llu.edu/allied-health/sah...missions.page? In 2012 Samuel Merritt received 1261 and accepted 55. http://www.samuelmerritt.edu/physici...t/requirements In 2012 SJVC PA received 250+ applicants and has class sizes in the low 20s. http://www.physicianassistantforum.c...licants/page10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nakasoner Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Decent chance. Be yourself. Don't exagerate on your application. Go to an info session. Meet Fred Tovar. Go over your application with him or another administrator/rep for any deficiencies. Check out the PCAP mission statement on the website and see if you fit their bullet points.

razel912 Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Question?? I have bs in health science and after many years of changing majors and a few bad grades have decided that I REALLY wasnt to become a PA. My cum gpa is about 2.6 and this semester I am manking a 3.34 and plan on taking a few sciences over to increase my gpa. I also have over 14000 HCE hours and plan on taking GRE soon. If I can get gpa up to 2.9-3.1 will I have a decent chance or will my courses ten yrs ago mess me up? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ykieu Posted June 4, 2013 Author Share Posted June 4, 2013 Yes, we take the same state board. It's an associates program; however, you can take additional courses to get a Masters degree and that is through St Francis University i believe. The website didn't say anything about accumulative college GPA, but it did say that science GPA has to be 3.0 or higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

larislow Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Hi, has anyone submitted their application yet? Does anyone think it's too late in the game to submit since they opened in May??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ykieu Posted June 11, 2013 Author Share Posted June 11, 2013 It was opened on May 31st and it is not too late as the deadline is not until September. Most people usually takes 2-3 months to work on their app to make sure everything is perfect. I am currently working on my statement of purpose. I probably wont submit it til August or end of July.

gjimi Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Hey guys I got a question My Anatomy I & II also the Microbiology I took them in the year of fall 2004-2005 spring... Those classes being more than five years old, Do I still have a chance in this school or they wont consider me due to my classes being over five years??? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ykieu Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share Posted June 20, 2013 They said that it is recommended, but not required since many schools wont let students retake these classes if they already passed them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those classes being more than five years old, Do I still have a chance in this school or they wont consider me due to my classes being over five years??? thanks A bit of advice. These are questions that are easily answered by researching the school. There are hundreds of posts on the Stanford thread, if you are serious about getting in, read them. I read them all, multiple times. Know the school inside and out, go to the info sessions, (I went to three) talk to current students, go over your applications until it's perfect. You are competing with people who are very compulsive (like me) about those things and tend to have very good stats. ( 40,000 hours HCE, 3.8 GPA, ex navy corpsman). Our class had FMG's, doctorates, flight paramedics, RNs etc. If you are serious about getting in, know your stuff. good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
