[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PA programs are pretty hard to get into.[/quote] This. My daughter is in the process of applying to PA schools. She had a 3.68 GPA as a biology major (3.82 GPA in the science classes) three years working as a CNA, a GRE verbal in the 77th percentile and 62nd quantitative, and two semesters doing research with a professor. She was only accepted to 3 of the 7 programs she applied to (and she was not applying to the top ranked schools). To be competitive, applicants generally will have at least three years direct patient experience. Do you have that? It’s *extremely* competitive. And once she actually gets there, it’s an incredibly demanding, rigorous curriculum. Once you actually become a PA, it’s fairly flexible. But do NOT underestimate the amount of work it takes to get in and the amount of work it takes to stay in. [/quote]
