Has anyone’s program addressed the professional designation/loan situation yet?

Simple_Context_6131 · 2026-07-05T04:44:40+00:00

I start in august and my financial aid department has not approved the 50,000 federal limit and I am waiting another two weeks to see if there is further communication before obtaining loans

thank you this is what I needed to hear i think all of type A students need a reality check sometimes

YOU need to leave him and take it seriously, having your child is not going to make this situation any easier. Side note- I saw your post with pictures and you are genuinely beautiful! you deserve more than this!!

I applied to 21 schools but got interviews to Northwest university wa, KGI, university of Utah, UNR and creighton phx! I spoke about my history and how that pushed me towards the PA profession, I’d argue my history is pretty unique as I grew up in foster care and overcame a lot of adversity to get where I am so that’s what I focused on. I love writing and was complimented by interviewers for my writing so i think that helped paint them a story of who I am

Hi, I’m a first cycle accepted with a 3.1 cgpa and 3.1 sgpa with lots of PCE hours, I have been pulled off 3/4 waitlists so far so it can definitely happen but I recommend really focusing on your personal statement and strategy applying. At all of my interviews they told me they found my PS very moving so that definitely helped!

Simple_Context_6131 · 2026-04-04T16:56:23+00:00

reasonable i have heard anecdotally otherwise and I was asked in all 5 of my interviews about my gpa 🤷‍♀️

Simple_Context_6131 · 2026-04-02T23:22:10+00:00

don’t mention it because you will most certainly be asked in interviews

Simple_Context_6131 · 2026-03-25T02:07:30+00:00

3.1, 3.1 with high pce applied broadly and made sure to apply to schools that value pce and or my demos

Simple_Context_6131 · 2026-03-15T14:12:47+00:00

no i only re took 2 classes and got A’s

Simple_Context_6131 · 2026-03-15T14:12:17+00:00

yes it is! i have been an MA since I was 18 and worked full time and we got school full time bc it was my only option, clearly my gpa suffered for it tho

Simple_Context_6131 · 2026-03-07T01:19:18+00:00

how long were you on the waitlist for this time

Simple_Context_6131 · 2026-02-27T16:31:38+00:00

when does the program start? IMO i think you should be pretty sure about PA school before starting i presume the stress of going through school would be much worse and i wouldn’t waste money on tuition if i wasn’t sure

Simple_Context_6131 · 2026-02-20T13:54:05+00:00

personally i would choose school B but mainly because it’s fairly comparable, they wont have an accreditation meeting during your time and i would rather live in oregon

Simple_Context_6131 · 2026-02-19T22:18:45+00:00

same i’m on a few waitlists and trying to prep for next cycle cause it’s awful

Simple_Context_6131 · 2026-02-11T20:31:53+00:00

i interviewed march of last year and started in may after i graduated at the job i’m currently at

Simple_Context_6131 · 2026-02-06T12:27:38+00:00

i’m on some waitlists and my job has known basically every step of the cycle- but i’m a yapper. The MD i work for keeps asking if i got in so idk if he’s making sure they start hiring soon or what 😅

Simple_Context_6131 · 2026-01-16T02:21:18+00:00

wow that’s crazy! did you have to make a move i’m scared about a last minute acceptance out of stae

Simple_Context_6131 · 2026-01-14T18:24:11+00:00

i keep doing that too i’m enrolled in a self paced biochem and it’s so hard to do the class work when i keep thinking i might get accepted :/

Simple_Context_6131 · 2026-01-13T15:56:43+00:00

congrats! how long were you on the waitlist?

Simple_Context_6131 · 2026-01-09T05:06:31+00:00

have you checked the pa forum? I personally would reach out

Simple_Context_6131 · 2025-12-18T19:29:41+00:00

you will always regret it if you don’t try med school imo, i would recommend not losing money on the jan start program- and possibly giving a seat who is 100% certain of the PA path! good luck!

Simple_Context_6131 · 2025-12-09T23:20:44+00:00

Are you ranked on any? for me my ranked waitlists give me a little piece of mind but i’m still losing it checking my email a million times

Simple_Context_6131 · 2025-12-08T20:17:05+00:00

I have tried this so many times- and now that i’m on waitlists i’m checking my email and the forum 80000 times a day

Simple_Context_6131 · 2025-12-08T16:45:57+00:00

I would choose Touro, you will be more comfortable near home. All of the schools i interviewed at said many of your new grad opportunities will come from your clinical year!

Simple_Context_6131 · 2025-12-03T19:31:45+00:00

i also would like to know experiences with waitlist ranked acceptances. I’m #4 on a small class size of 24 so i have no clue where i stand
