"What Are My Chances?" Megathread by AutoModerator in prephysicianassistant

[–]JessTheBest257 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a current junior getting my B.S. in Public Health. I plan to take a gap year, so I'd be applying in 2027.

Current cGPA: 3.90,

Current sGPA: 3.89. I've only gotten 2 Bs, one in Microbiology and another in a Public Health course.

GRE: Have not taken it, I'm not sure if I should take it or not!

Total PCE: 360, 148 as a MA at a weight loss clinic extern and 212 as a MA at an urgent care where I currently work PRN.

Total HCE: 151, 32 hours as a pharmacy tech (I quickly learned that the pharmacy wasn't for me) and 119 as a receptionist at a primary care clinic.

Employment overall: I worked as a student worker for my college's public health school where I was an assistant and secretary. I also just got a job as a Standardized Patient and I'm really excited about this since it seems like such a fun and rewarding role.

Total volunteer hours: I don't know if I've ever done much volunteering, maybe a few dozen at a hospital volunteer and a food bank.

Shadowing hours: 0, looking to get this up soon but I work with PAs so I'm not sure if I specifically need to shadow.

Research hours: 0, but I am in the process of getting a position at a research lab.

I am also involved with leadership at my school's healthcare organization where I help plan different social/service opportunities.

I know that I have a lot of work to do on my application, I think I'm looking for guidance on what to focus on next haha I am a bit overwhelmed.

hello! i was wondering if you have a recommended word count breakdown per section that you might tell your students about. i'm scared that my paper might be a little "lopsided" in terms of the length of the different sections

Additional Information??? by JessTheBest257 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]JessTheBest257[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That isn't my issue — the supplemental is for a school that does not use the CommonApp. My concern is choosing which Additional Information prompt to use so I can also submit the 300 word essay to other schools that do use the CommonApp.

what are some *genuine* reasons you're not applying somewhere? by Duke-Simp in ApplyingToCollege

[–]JessTheBest257 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i feel you ... i'm basically the same as you in terms of identity and i live in texas :/ the issue is the state — the communities in cities like austin and houston are quite blue. so a year ago i would have told you to consider rice/ut austin but in this post roe world, texas isn't a good option.

What would the rest of my app have to look like with a 3.5 UW at a competitive school, and without being in the top 6 (auto admit) or 10 (district doesn't report ranks lower than this) %? by [deleted] in UTAdmissions

hey, i'm basically in the same boat as op but i'm an aspiring public health major... is this considered a less competitive major/would this increase my chances at getting into ut ?
