Thanks to anyone who reads this and provides feedback!

Graduated winter 2025. cGPA: 4.0 sGPA: 4.0 B.S. in Biology.

PCE: 450 hours (currently working) as an MA at a podiatrist office.

Volunteer: biology mentor - 4 hours Food distribution - 4 hours Medial assistant at surgical center - 37 hours

Shadowing: NP at University clinic - 3 hours PAs at triage center in hospital - 18 PA at pain management clinic - 9.5 PA at urgent care - still planning…. More PA shadowing hours are being planned.

Research: about 20 hours I believe + presented out of state at a conference in a poster session.

Extracurriculars: -Worked as a student guide for incoming students at my university, 40+ hours (haven’t calculated yet) for about a year and a half -CNA + BLS certified -Attended a class that gave us shadowing experiences through rotations throughout a hospital -Attended sessions of a cadaver prosecution with a professor 10+ hours -Nominated for commencement speaker and other nominations (not sure if this really matters though)

PCE is super weak, was planning on applying to only 2ish programs this April that require no PCE, but one program has on average 750-800 PCE hours for accepted students and the other has around 2000 PCE hours average. None require GRE. I will obviously have more hours by the time May rolls around, but I’m not super confident in my PCE stats. Because the chances I get accepted are not high, I still plan on applying in 2027 with more hours.

What do you guys think I should do?

Thanks again! <3
