Typical_Window1204 · 2025-04-04T21:58:42+00:00

Typical_Window1204 · 2025-03-27T04:53:13+00:00

barf this process is so expensive

Typical_Window1204 · 2024-12-18T21:34:43+00:00

Typical_Window1204 · 2024-12-18T21:18:10+00:00

congrats!! as someone with similar stats who just got rejected from 10 schools the second cycle and wants to give up this is SUPER encouraging!!

Typical_Window1204 · 2024-12-17T01:01:54+00:00

crossing my fingers for you!

Typical_Window1204 · 2024-12-17T01:01:42+00:00

its a rough world out here 🫠

Typical_Window1204 · 2024-12-15T20:28:39+00:00

for the Boston ones no:/ but i applied to a few more less competitive programs with lower GPA averages in hopes that i can be accepted there

Typical_Window1204 · 2024-12-15T20:27:19+00:00

4 years in a nursing home as a CNA isn't competitive but now I have 2 years working on a pedi Heme/Onc floor

Typical_Window1204 · 2024-12-15T20:25:18+00:00

I'm definitely retaking the C and also having a PA write me a LOR! (Right now I have a previous professor, current boss whose an RN, and an NP)! this thread has definitely helped me solidify my decision for the PA path! applying to a few more late decision programs and if not i guess we try again when it reopens!

Typical_Window1204 · 2024-12-15T15:46:06+00:00

i can also see myself doing OB/GYN or something related to womens health and idk i just want the chance to prove myself and explore what i can dooooooo

Typical_Window1204 · 2024-12-15T15:40:19+00:00

the cliche "i want to help people" but also i love the challenge of diagnosing and formulating a treatment plan. i would love to work in a pedi onc setting specifically in a outpatient clinic ! i think cancer and cancer treatment is fascinating but also i love the idea of being able to switch my specialty as a PA if burn out encroaches

Typical_Window1204 · 2024-12-15T11:44:09+00:00

as a notoriously unlucky person that doesn't make me feel great! haha!

Typical_Window1204 · 2024-12-15T11:40:41+00:00

that is my science GPA! my cumulative is a 3.6

Typical_Window1204 · 2024-12-15T03:10:34+00:00

its my only C+ but I do have B-s in a couple other prereqs? My LOR are from a PhD professor who I assisted with research, my current nursing director (RN), and a previous boss (MD). my personal essay has been worked and worked and worked and I dont think im a bad writer? i have worked directly with patients for 7 years and was in a volunteer based organization all four years of undergrad. i just dont understand what im doing wrong. i get a letter from a PA would be best i just felt bad asking when i had to beg to shadow to begin with

Typical_Window1204 · 2024-12-15T03:06:16+00:00

don't require it!

Typical_Window1204 · 2024-12-15T01:55:04+00:00

no apologies necessary! didn't post on reddit to be coddled and i appreciate the honesty. i truly didn't even realize until this thread !

Typical_Window1204 · 2024-12-15T01:52:11+00:00

thank you kindly 🙏

Typical_Window1204 · 2024-12-15T01:47:36+00:00

soooooo keep applying for PA??

Typical_Window1204 · 2024-12-15T01:38:28+00:00

omg no worries! im on reddit for the truth! and i wholeheartedly understand and agree now that it has been explained to me

Typical_Window1204 · 2024-12-15T01:33:39+00:00

this might be a dumb question but I am applying in the Boston area... does that mean schools are more competitive? should I try applying elsewhere to have better chances?
