Yes. At the time of application, you will have about a year to finish up any outstanding/in-process classes; however, balance that with our need to know how well you do in college, particularly in the more difficult science classes. It is an advantage to have those A’s sitting on your CASPA transcript. All classes must be completed by August 1 of the summer your PA class begins.
Although we don’t accept online science prerequisite classes, you may opt to take Developmental Psychology, Statistics, or Medical Terminology online.
Our PA advisor is happy to sit down and talk with prospective applicants. Please call our office and arrange a time.
We don’t require a Biochemistry lab.
We use the GPAs provided by CASPA, which usually include every class you have ever taken—even though your original college may have replaced some grades for you. You should plan to see every grade appear on your CASPA application.
Enter the following on your application for each shadowing entry: person’s name that you shadowed (referred to as the “supervisor”), his position, whether we have permission to contact him or not, the clinic/hospital name and address, dates, hours, and a couple of sentences telling what you observed as you shadowed.
You are welcome to submit GRE scores, but we do not require them.
No, we just need your CASPA application.
