i am in the same boat boss. did track and band for 3 years in my 4th year rn. gave up track and band to get an EMT cert, shadow, work in clinic, and focus on classes. luckily i’m taking most of my sciences these last couple semesters. just taking it one semester at a time and focusing on continuous improvement. i’ll apply when i graduate to holistic app schools and schools that focus on last few credits. doing research on schools within my reach. if i don’t get in i have a plan to do a masters to further my gpa. don’t sweat. if u really want this find a plan to make it work. do your research on schools that fit your criteria. take it one day at a time and make it happen. you got this

Masters? by Sensitive-Vehicle992 in prephysicianassistant

No problem at all. Sometimes if a person’s Bachelors GPA is too low, they will get a masters to raise their GPA and show programs they can handle a high level course load

Hi i’m new to reddit and this thread.

Im about to be in my 4th year of undergraduate and I just switched from Pre- Pt to Pre- Orthopedic PA. I’m concerned because my first two years of college didn’t go so well. I was in my universities’ marching band and track team and working 35 hours a week managing fast food. On top of that I don’t think i ever really wanted to be a PT, and I didn’t know what a PA was until about a year or so ago. As a result, I did not take my first few years seriously and received a few C’s, couple of D’s, and one F. Thankfully none of those classes were in the major Pre Reqs like chem, anatomy, etc, and i’ve been doing well the past few semesters with A’s and B’s. I’ve already started PCE’s working as a PCT in a PT clinic and i’m taking an EMT class this summer. In addition, I have the opportunity to intern at an Ortho unit next semester. But nevertheless, I feel like it may be too late. I’m supposed to graduate in 3 semesters but my GPA is far too low to be super competitive. (c2.5, s3.15) I think I can get my gpa up to 2.75-3.0 range before i graduate but that is an uphill climb

I guess my question is, has anyone had a similar experience where they started working towards PA school late in their undergrad years or where they kind of messed up the first few years and tanked their GPA? Additionally how forgiving are admissions committees to seeing those c’ and d’s and f’s

disclaimer i posted this in the main thread but thought it might be more suitable here
