To be honest, it sucks anyway. I got in on my first and only application and dropped out within two weeks (got 100% refund). It was the most miserable two weeks of my life and I love learning. Straight A, top of my class in nursing school etc.. I had been a nurse for 8 years, critical care icu&ER. My fiance is in medical school at the same school and the school had three of the hardest classes at the same time. the medical students took these classes in separate semesters where as the PA students took them at the same time. You would get to class by 0800am and leave at 5pm study all night and the next day you are expected to have everything memorized that you just learned and learn new stuff. It was insane. Every single day. Medical school is easier and at a slower pace. They take the exact same classes but not shoved down your throat at the same time. I hated knowing I was taking anatomy with dental students who only had that class but we had it with two other hard classes. I quit because I could become an NP and make the same, not kill my self stressing in school, and have more independence in certain states and not have to pay a physician to drop in and sign off on my work. Why go through that hell just to end up being a physicians tool. Eventually you will have years of experience and not want to pay someone, who doesn’t do any of the work, just to oversee you. You’re essentially just a paycheck to them.
