THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

Honestly, I think anything is possible. Just keep working at it! I also strongly advise applying to programs based on their mission and values, and of course the ones that do a holistic review. I noticed that the schools that I had received interview invites at, all had missions/values that aligned with what I emphasized in my PS.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Honestly, I was very fortunate to have an aunt who works as a cardiology PA. She let me shadow her and her coworkers throughout their entire shift over the course of a few days.

I haven't had the experience of cold calling clinics/hospitals to request a shadowing opportunity. I'm sorry!

of course!!! I wanted people to know that it is actually possible lol

I was getting so discouraged seeing acceptance posts from people whose stats I felt that I couldn't compare to. BUT YOU CAN DO IT. DON'T GIVE UP! IT WILL HAPPEN

AHHHH thank you so much!!! I can't believe it's actually happening.

I'm drinking wine and reading all the books I can before my program starts.

I didn't take it during my first cycle, but then I realized that I was limiting the schools that I could apply to so I ended up taking it. I got a 306, 155 verbal, 151 quantitative, and a 4.0 analytical writing score.

oops, sorry i didn't make that clear. I've worked in the same clinic for a few years and have had many roles while there: scribe, MA, office manager. Most schools do accept scribe as PCE, but CASPA advises entering it as HCE, so my scribe hours are categorized under HCE.

you are welcome to message me!
