I'm so excited to have found your page! I'm currently a Junior getting my BS & I am excited, anxious & nervous to start my PA program! Instantly subscribed so I can get all the important info before I start researching my program :)

[@stephenthepa8485]

These are great points Dani! I definitely wish that I could go back to myself before PA school and give some tips.

[@Bennyson_T]

Yes! I really love this video. Especially the last point, grades don't matter, what matters is the PA-C

[@reginemanigque609]

JUST FOUND UR KZbin CHANNEL AND IM SO HAPPY I DID!! THANK U FOR ALL THIS INFO

[@johnguillen68]

It is so great to hear the last point because I am not a great test taker. I stress before, during, and after exams. If I don't do well I get discouraged but I know my patient contact will be better. I'm hoping to get into PA school this fall or maybe the beginning of 2022. I'm finishing up all my CASPA information. I'm waiting on letters of recommendation from doctors and PAs. My personal statement is just about done. Thank you for your videos.

[@xxsam0917xx]

Wow. You just made me feel at ease! I'm in my junior year and already looking into CASPA so I can work on my applications! Unfortunately I have to retake my A&P since I took it 10 years ago. But I just found out some schools like in Texas don't care about how long ago the classes were taken. However, as I'm waiting to get into a program, I'll take A&P again just in case I don't get in the programs in Texas! Do you or does anyone else know if there are other schools that don't have a "time" restriction for the prerequisites??

with the meal prep I say also think using factor they send you food to reheat so think about that and other companies like this as well if your in cooking

Hey Dani, I am considering becoming a PA. It is my dream job. What did you major in when you went to college?

[@rodneyh1947]

Grades do matter. Several of the residency/fellowship programs I applied to had a min GPA of 3.0, and having a strong GPA is definitely viewed favorably for many of the adcoms (at least I've been told this). It would make sense to favor strong GPAs, because the majority of residency programs lump you in with physician residency programs, who undoubtedly value book smarts and textbook knowledge.

[@mandupicante9344]

I have a random question, what class was the toughest while you were in undergrad?

[@sarbjotsingh5946]

Very great job and soo stressful life

Do I have to be a graduate from any related medical schools, well, I had studied chemistry, physics, and biology in my high school with high grades on, as well as I have a bachelor degree in historic preservation which I had studied chemistry with as well. From your experience, do you think I am eligible to apply for the PA program ? Thanks for your kind reply

I’m 20 & JUST decided I wanted to be a PA Im not in college so I understand I have start all over & get a bachelors degree first since I’m just figuring out my career path. I’m currently CNA & in the process of getting my MA certification bc I feel as if that would be better for clinical hours in the long run & also having a stable job during the whole becoming a PA journey. do you think I should stick to being a CNA while going through college & PA school or get my MA certification (1 year) & then apply to a college to get my bachelors degree & do PA school?

[@Ml_-ir7eg]

I’m not in PA school yet but my cousin is a PA professor at an elite school. I had asked her this question and she said that either is fine, but CNA is great because it is so patient focused.

[@yasmine4464]

@@Ml_-ir7eg okay thanks I figured staying a CNA would be the best choice since I’ve been one for a year so I have more experience & wouldn’t have to start over as MA to get PCE whenever I do start PA school

[@shinysphinx8849]

The projection is strong in this one. You’re embarrassing.

[@dylanpinatelli4969]

Not everyone thinks like that. I’m choosing PA school over medical school and I have great stats/application. I’m not even applying to medical school. The main motivation over medical school is to finish quicker to be able to start a family and the ability to switch specialities if I want.
