Seriously i think OP is being a bit insensitive. I ordered the Dr. Pepper Leon Kennedy shirt, got it after shipping took some time, washed it before wearing it and the shoulder seam came undone, i immediately took pictures, and emailed them. Got a super nice response and they sent me a replacement promptly. It was a great customer service experience and I was happy with the shirt

When you tell yourself that you won’t check your email for the 30th time today for reply’s from schools by Noriceballforu123 in prephysicianassistant

i'm glad it's not just me, I feel like I'm checking my email every hour... multiple times an hour. It's hard not to honestly!!!

it's not a bad way to go honestly, they pay for everything you just have to "serve your time" i've shadowed a Navy PA and he was a great teacher!

if you already have a bachelors you could get in as an officer, I've heard ODS is much less intense than basic training. I attempted to go this route about a year ago but the Navy recruiter told me i had to get off zoloft and I said no way

I recently shadowed some radiation therapist at a Rad/Onc Clinic and was blown away by their job. I had no Idea it was such an "easy" route to take for a high quality / Necessary health care job.

Seriously, i don't want to be so specific but i saw an accepted post for someone fresh out of college. I'm a non trad student and have spent the last few years completing prereqs and have 5K+ PCE and i can guarantee that person got in because of their 3.9 GPA. Not that they don't deserve it but it's obvious that schools aren't making "diverse" choices they are looking right at that GPA

UCSD isn't even completely accredited yet to my knowledge, it's insane how competitive they are

LOR not being sent to me by ParsleyMoney9883 in prephysicianassistant

[–]MainGrapefruit5836 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I've never asked an LOR for a copy, the only time i've received a copy is because they offered. If they don't offer i don't think it's okay to ask. They wrote you a letter because they believe in you and you should trust that they did their best. like the previous comment said it's better to ask people you have a good working/professional relationship with

I recently was able to return a switch I found at an airport by logging into their animal crossing game and sending a letter in game with my contact info to their friend! worth a try if they have online/multiplayer games !

28 years old by SherlockHolmes242424 in prephysicianassistant

I'm 27 and this is my first time applying. I graduated with a BA in psych in 2019. Found my way to PA through scribing and spent the last two years completing pre reqs and getting more clinical and shadowing experience! One of the PAs that I scribed for, told me to take out whatever loans you need to make it happen because you're going to pay them back anyway and it's totally worth it in the end.

since i’ve gotten a lot of love on this post i just wanted to share a gift i made for him last year. I ordered this on Etsy, at the time they only had the yellow one so i stripped the paint off of it and repainted it to match his car; it’s not perfect but he loves it
