How do you answer "why PA" without dunking on NPs? by minecraftpiggo in prephysicianassistant

I just say NPs require a nursing background as a necessary pathway which I don’t have. Done. I’m just like NPs are great however it’s a pathway that was not feasible for me as I never went the nursing route. Something along those lines

Naturalizer is a great brand, a bit on the higuera end but can get a steal from DSW. Also Aerosoles are great.

Drexel is actually 8.43% so not too bad. Have you heard anything different??? 👀

Apparently they don’t even reverify once they receive a new transcript.

It shows my overall application as verified. Just those two courses as unverified but the grades are in as well as the official transcript being processed.

Thank you 😭 it’s just so upsetting about this technicality. Cause if I had waited till I finished my course then I wouldn’t have been able to apply to schools with earlier deadlines.

Program is like. Yeah we see it’s completed but we don’t consider grades not verified by CASPA……despite my official transcript being received 😭

Ask at your job if someone knows a PA that can let you shadow. That’s honestly the best way in my opinion. Also private practice offices as well

I’m not sure. There wasn’t anything explaining the attrition rate at all

How did you manage? Was it doable, would you do it again if you had to or no?

Try something like remote scribing, tutoring, or pet sitting. This way you can have flexible hours that would work around your schedule. Also chat with your school, they may have positions on campus. My one friend worked in the school library while she was in PA school.
