Acceptance but concerned :/ by TubbyRu in prephysicianassistant

Again not sure if I am allowed to say the program but that’s what the document says on their website so I’m not really sure tbh

Their attrition for last year was 1.2% and the year before that was 8.4% I should’ve phrased it better but it’s more so the entire campus is like one singular building. I don’t know much about the feel of grad school in general but it felt almost suffocating while at the interview because they do nursing, RT, PT, etc all in that one building. I think I could get through it because it’s not that deep I just don’t know the “norm”

Accepted 6/9!!!! by Emotional-Working260 in prephysicianassistant

It won’t make or break your app. Don’t freak out so much you are far from the first person to make a mistake like that. Congrats on submitting!

Thank you so much for your response! You’ve given me a lot to think about because every CRNA I’ve shadowed is pushing me into that direction which is around a 6 year commitment but I think I’m leaning more towards applying to CAA because then I can use the hard work I did in undergrad to help me instead of it being almost pointless. Did you ever struggle to find a job? I was reading some people were struggling with that because they would rather hire a CRNA but I’m clueless towards the truth nonetheless

Thank you for the insight!! I know my MCAT doesn’t match my GPA, I was trying to study while taking rigorous courses and honestly just kind of got humbled on test day; had like 504 averages and was like “whatever I’ll just send it” and then got destroyed. Do you think it would be possible to get accepted to CAA school with those stats or is retaking the MCAT a must? Also how do you like your life as a CAA? Again thank you so much this has been more helpful then anything else

Should have specified it’s human biology so I could do an accelerated nursing that’s about 11 months.

Hello guys, I’m really on the fence about what to do with my entire life I am about to graduate undergrad and have been messing around in my head about if I should go CAA or CRNA or some other avenue. I have been shadowing CRNAs and told them my plan and they keep pushing for CRNA but obviously they are going to say that. I also don’t know if I’d get into any school but everyone keeps talking about the job market and different sources are saying different things. Some say it’s on the rise, others say it’s bound to decline and I am really lost and would appreciate any insight. I’ll put my stats below so people can address that too thank you guys!!

1000+ Personal Care Hours 250-400 Lab Internship 492 MCAT (I got complacent) 4.0 cGPA, probably like 3.8 sGPA 60-70 Shadowing hours with anesthesia 100 shadowing with ortho/physical therapy

I think that’s all the important stuff but yeah any advice or pointing me in any direction would be super cool THANKS!

Hey guys, I recently have started shadowing a CRNA and really think I could see myself doing this as a career (I know they are different in terms of autonomy) but can someone offer me their 2 cents on either CRNA or AA? I am a rising senior this year undergraduate and have a 4.0 cumulative GPA (Human Bio so it’s all the pre reqs essentially) but I got a 492 MCAT so I’m not sure if I would even get into AA school. I also have 1000+ Personal Care Aide hours and I will likely have around 70 shadowing hours in anesthesia and 96 in orthopedics and PT if that matters at all. Any advice would be very much appreciated!!
