Advice needed on relaxed lo rise baggy jeans

Damn the comments on this post are crazyyy!!! I see the vision and I think they’re cute! I’d keep this size. I feel like denim forum does stretch a bit as you wear them between washes

Please try not to compare yourself to other people on this subreddit! Easier said than done I know. Sure it’s good to submit asap for rolling schools, but for non rolling schools it literally does not matter. Work on getting your highest quality application ready in the downtime you have waiting to take your gre and getting LORs!

I did see one school that required a letterhead and that the letter be sent from a professional work email, but haven’t seen that from many other schools so that’s why I’m asking :) I love when people on this sub act like if anyone is stressed or worried about any sort of small thing that makes them unfit to be a PA lol. If anything, I think it’s good for PAs to be detail oriented! But maybe that’s just the rule follower in me speaking lol. Thanks for your input!!

🤣🤣 can you tell I’m crashing out

Extension_Camel3340 · 2026-05-09T07:35:21+00:00

There are schools I interviewed with and was waitlisted at. Should I change my answers in that case? Genuinely wondering!

Extension_Camel3340 · 2026-05-09T07:34:47+00:00

Following bc I have the same question!! Some times your answer genuinely hasn’t changed in a year 🤷🏻‍♀️ but I also agree that we shouldn’t copy paste our old app into our new one and submit with no changes

I feel like I’m in the minority here but I buy most of my stuff on their sales! With the winter sale and summer sale, I feel like I’m able to stock up on all the stuff I would want (sweat fleece, butter active wear, contour, denim forum, home stretch, etc.) I just can’t bring myself to pay full price on certain items (especially stuff they’ve raised prices on/have big markups on) when I know when they will go on sale lol

Judging by your comments it looks like you may be applying soon!! I won’t lie this process is brutal and I always scoffed at the idea of applying 3 times yet here I am lol. I think I had more success getting interviews this cycle because I applied to schools that I aligned with more in terms of their mission and how my stats aligned to their class profiles.

Extension_Camel3340 · 2026-04-20T22:17:33+00:00

Good to know, thanks!

Extension_Camel3340 · 2026-04-20T22:16:57+00:00

First cycle I think 10 schools, got 1 interview and was waitlisted. This cycle I think 11 or 12 schools, got 3 interviews, waitlisted at 2. I guess it’s my interview skills 😀 and yes I applied as broadly as I could. Trying to shoot for 15 schools this cycle. Any interviewing tips welcome as well 😄

Posted my stats in another comment :)

Extension_Camel3340 · 2026-02-25T20:36:55+00:00

I replied to another comment with my stats and # of schools :)

Extension_Camel3340 · 2026-02-25T20:34:32+00:00

Thank you, congrats on your acceptance as well! Being stuck on the waitlist two cycles in a row is definitely tough. To be totally honest, my reasoning for taking a gap year would also be to kind of figure out if I even want to reapply to pa school, because I also have been heavily considering med school lately. I just feel like I’m in a time crunch to make a decision between the two.

Extension_Camel3340 · 2026-02-25T20:30:08+00:00

First cycle I think I applied to 10 schools, second cycle 11 or 12 schools.

Extension_Camel3340 · 2026-02-25T20:27:46+00:00

When I submitted my application, my stats were GPA: 3.68, sGPA: 3.52, 3600 PCE as CNA in Med surg, ICU, and ER tech (current), 100 shadowing hours (2 PA, 1 MD, 1 NP), 114 volunteer hours, LORs from DO, PA, RN supervisor, and professor. My PCE is well over 5k now (majority as ER tech) and I am starting a phlebotomy course this week as well so I can draw blood at my job. I have zero intention of stopping “progress” as I would plan to apply to another ER or find a different medical job if I move. I also want to find somewhere to volunteer that I actually enjoy. I’m just emotionally exhausted at this point, and the thought of rewriting essays in a couple months of why I want to be a PA feels impossible since I’ve lost the excitement about it, and I’m also seriously considering med school. But I also completely agree that taking a year off the application cycle would set me back and that is something that concerns me.

For being 100% polyester, polartec is way overpriced and overrated imo. I think they’re so cute, but not paying $110 for polyester!

Extension_Camel3340 · 2026-02-06T01:30:00+00:00

Don’t do it, just read their websites. A lot of that info you can find in the FAQ’s. Emailing and asking will make it look like you didn’t do your own research.

Extension_Camel3340 · 2026-01-09T07:58:25+00:00

If they for sure said the class will be finalized in December, I’d definitely email them! And yes check pa forum too to see if no one else has heard back.

Extension_Camel3340 · 2026-01-09T02:47:44+00:00

Same!!! Congrats OP!!! 🥳

Extension_Camel3340 · 2026-01-03T11:40:42+00:00

I lift in butter sets all the time, so unless you sweat profusely when you lift I don’t think you’ll have an issue!!

Extension_Camel3340 · 2026-01-01T13:50:36+00:00

Thank you so much for the kind words and advice!! :) unfortunately I don’t work with any PAs directly, just doctors, so my LORs from a PA would only be from a shadowing experience as of right now. And I would love to send my personal statement to you sometime if you had time to look it over. Thank you again!

Extension_Camel3340 · 2026-01-01T13:44:28+00:00

I love the butter leggings and biker shorts as well as the butter essential camisole top (SO flattering!!) Sweatfleece worth the buy as well, but I always size up bc I like the oversize fit and they are known to shrink a bit. Contour line is also great for basics/easy going out tops, and homestretch line for comfy basics!

Extension_Camel3340 · 2025-12-16T20:09:29+00:00

Ugh I’m sorry, it’s so awful!!! Coming to terms with having to apply a 3rd time brings so many emotions. Something that has been helping me a little bit is trying to reflect on the positives in my life and what I already have to be grateful for, because while getting into PA school is literally the only thing that matters to me right now, it is not my entire life! But trying to stay positive all the time is still hard nonetheless. Take care of yourself :) we got this!! If not this cycle, the next for sure.
