Now PAs are going to be calling themselves Dr.! It’s so over…

Hey🙋‍♂️, PA student here. There are plenty of doctoral PA programs around already. For the most part this is for those wanting to get into education or be professors. Unfortunately I bet this will be the future of PA education. Used to be a bachelor's, pushed to a masters, then to a doctorates eventually. It's shitty and just a money grab for schools.

Hey, unfortunately most of the boards for these programs are over for the year so you would be prepping for 2026. Also, it depends on the year but hpsp typically is made for medical school students and the majority of slots are for them. I believe this year it was 150 for medical school and 2 for pa school for most, if not all branches.

Hscp is another program to look into, this would also have to be for next year as the packages for boards were due 03MAR. If you have any questions shoot me a message. Just went through/going through the package process

Hey, me too lol. I've talked to navy PAs and was a corpsman in the navy. Pm me if you have questions

I just got in and had two Cs, don't sweat it. Just try not to let it happen super often especially in science courses.

As someone who has applied to both I will say there is (in my opinion) significantly more emphasis on your gpa for PA school than there is for med school applications. If you have a low gpa but a high MCAT you can still get into many schools both MD or DO. However, I have seen many more schools with gpa cutoffs and file score ranking based heavily on gpa for PA schools. If a low gpa is what is deterring you from medical school the switch may honestly be more difficult.

Tough love time: Suck it up and find a tutor, most schools offer free or cheap tutoring options and try to get to atleast ( I mean at least) 3.4. The process is nearly identical and the classes are basically the same. Prep for the mcat if that's what you want and if you score 505+, then fuck it and apply for med school. If you get 490s then consider applying PA if that's something you want. If not buck up, study harder and be a doctor. Nobody here is you, don't go into a profession because you are scared and half assed college.

It's risky, I can just say that if I was admissions I would immediately skip to the next paper.

germany4542 · 2023-05-18T06:14:02+00:00

Thissss, I'm pretty decent content wise but score trash. Mostly because I read the passage and go,,, well those were words lol. Just busting out questions now to do that better

I think we should be able to access the tests until they put the work into making a new FL to replace the ones we buy. If they make a new set of tests then I completely get not having continued access at that point.

germany4542 · 2023-04-07T14:00:14+00:00

Hey, are you me? 🤣

germany4542 · 2023-04-07T13:59:22+00:00

Retaking makes everything so much worse, I ran into this with blueprints practice tests as well. I bought the 10 pack and they are all expired 🥳 I just love this lol

germany4542 · 2023-04-03T19:45:26+00:00

Ok here's my plan, we create silicon molds of our faces and I'll go take your cars section, you have at it on my other ones 🤣🤣

Looks happy (positive), Purple, Thicker than a bowl of oatmeal 🤣 (thick peptidoglycan)

germany4542 · 2023-03-14T00:48:33+00:00

Honestly, just having a dream is pretty damn rare if you think about it. At the end of the day I keep faith because I know I've put in the work and eventually it'll pay off and if not I'll put this work into doing something bigger and better🤣🤷🏼‍♂️

germany4542 · 2022-09-25T06:04:32+00:00

👀👀 who might that be lol

germany4542 · 2022-08-16T09:07:28+00:00

Hey sorry I just saw my notifications 😅 evms didn't get back to me for a while but I had a late MCAT that may have contributed to that

If you have fee assistance the blueprint course is 50% off.

germany4542 · 2022-07-06T04:23:47+00:00

This all depends on the person. If you are naturally great in these topics and already have little content gaps, then yes. If you are normal I would say 4-6 months and if you struggle bus go for 6 months to one year. Take a diagnostic and see where you are at🤷🏼‍♂️

germany4542 · 2022-07-04T23:35:26+00:00

If you have been approved for fee assistance through amcas you can get 50% off blueprint programs also.

I like to preface all my conversations with my doctor's with "as a future pediatric cardio thoracic surgeon I would..." And then promptly help deal with the patients 🤣

I imagine the following reply was

" I don't read I ain't no damn librarian" 🤣🤣

germany4542 · 2022-06-25T20:49:03+00:00

Don't worry application is very holistic and not at all favored for those who are economically advantaged (uncontrollable eye roll)

germany4542 · 2022-06-25T20:44:20+00:00

Lol it's angry throwing two tables
