Poor Orlando. LoL! Congratulations and good luck in Fort Lauderale. Would like to do a podcast episode on this.

Hah yeah Orlando is not for me. Thank you! Yes, you should!

I'm taking the CASPer exam in June would love if you could talk about strategies a little bit!

[@cristinalaura]

For the CASPer I pretty much just looked up KZbin videos and articles on "advice for CASPer exam". I practiced all the samples that were online out loud to myself and then I had my family members do the same for me. Just make sure you get comfortable speaking with a timer and answering questions. The answers themselves for most of the questions to me were pretty self explanatory so dont overthink it and just practice speaking overall.

How old were you when you got accepted. I’m expecting to be ready for official application when I’m 27-28 but is that usually seen as an older student ?

[@cristinalaura]

I was 24 (but turned 25 before starting). I wouldn’t worry there’s a ton of people that are in their late 20’s when starting. There’s even a few in my class in their 30’s. That’s not to say a ton won’t be younger but it varies!

Hi Cristina, how was the triathlon? Congratulations for PA school!

[@cristinalaura]

Thank you! I had to end up canceling because of other circumstances :/. But I’m still training for fun now!
