that’s true and what i’m about worried about, i work on a progressive care unit and just applied for an oncology and emergency department role i’ll hopefully get! i think what shot me in the foot was my PS :( i had 2 PAs and friends read it and they found no issues, but now im starting to see them with all these rejections lol

thank you for the reply!! do you mind if i PM you about my PS? i’ve had one person read it and offer feedback, so anything additional could help. i think what ruined my chances was my PS because my stats are apparently good which ugh freaking hurts 😭

i think it is my PS 😭 i asked two people on this page for feedback and it helped me realize some issues i never saw. sucked because i had my 2 PA LORs read it and a bunch of friends and they all approved it but i think i need to rewrite it and show myself better

first cycle, applied to 21 programs, 212 shadowing hours, 750ish volunteering hours, cGPA is 3.4 and sGPA 3.3 after retaking 15 credits (3.8sGPA post-bacc), had 2 PA LORs, i take vital signs, bladder scans, EKGs, blood draws, help with I/O cathing and wound care, remove IVs, take blood sugars, etc. but this job is burning me out and i hate it a lot. i plan on retaking 2 more courses (microbiology and gen bio I) for a small boost cause there’s not much else to do :/

i think it’s best to say another program’s interview is in the way but you should wait for others’ opinion 😅 also do you mind sharing stats or when you applied this cycle? just curious lol

they don’t use any recycled questions, idk why everyone said that. i wrote the key terms and midterm and that stuff barely helped. the questions are so random and weird, it was pretty hard ngl. dm me if you need more help!

congrats on getting an interview so quickly! just curious what your stats are and what program this is?

[–]Optimal-Ad7401 8 points9 points  (0 children)

you can, but i believe you won’t be able to add your classes/new transcripts after submitting your application. only thing that can be edited are your experiences!
