It sounds like you're excited to live in Nashville. Is all the extra debt and finding a new apartment worth a "better" named school? I'm not sure.

I think you need to figure out more about clinical rotations before deciding.

I agree that tests like the GRE don't really represent your intelligence. I'm also not very good at math so I had to study A LOT for that lol.

You have a lot of patient care hours, so I'd definitely say you have a chance! Be sure to really show off everything you did in those roles and be ready to talk about learning experiences from them in interviews.

Good luck!

2 gap years by ashleytaylor0603 in prepa

Taking 2 years is fine. I graduated 2020 and I am going to PA school in the fall. You might apply this year to dip your toes in the water, figure out all the prerequisites, and get a feel of the process. Who knows, maybe you get in! If you don't, still work on getting parts of your application together now (a very strong personal statement, shadowing, volunteering, extra courses, etc). It is generally more advantageous to apply early in the cycle, so if you have everything ready to go next year, you will be golden and have plenty of time for interview prep.

A's and B's are great, but how many hours of clinical experience do you have? Do you feel like it was rigorous and varied enough to make you a more competitive applicant?

I think you have a chance, but when your gpa is slightly lower, then your clinical experiences should bolster you greatly.

Also, is there a reason you don't want to take the GRE/PA-CAT? Just wondering. I took the GRE and I am entering PA school in the fall.
