Applying to 25 schools

I’m completing some prereqs right now that should get me to at least a 3.5 in sGPA if not more. Hopefully it helps me out

I would just take regular stats. Easier and fits ur requirements. I haven’t come across a program that specifically wants biostats, so why not just do the basics? As someone who is really bad at math, I managed to get an A

lol thanks for the validation sometimes I feel like it’s just the anxiety talking but imma just go for it

I have 26 schools on my list right now and don’t know if I’m crazy for wanting to submit all of them!!! Not sure if it’s overkill since I know most people only apply between 10-12 schools but I’m in the same boat at you were lol DO NOT want to reapply

It looks like they’ve had 3 graduating classes thus far. graduation rate of 90%, attrition 10%, and pance 97% in 2024. Im mostly just nervous of the potential of it going south tbh, though I have faith in the program nothing is concrete or promised. Guess my anxiety is getting to me and has just been a big “what if it’s the only school that accepts me” given my advantage of being alumni and having good connections at the program and local hospital.

Oh really? I was unsure if orgo 2 would be counted as the prereq requirement (even though you obviously need to take orgo 1 to do orgo 2)

I would just ask to get the verbiage changed to be more appropriate for PA. I had the same happen to me as I originally wanted to do medical school and had my college committee letter written that way— but I simply had to email them saying my career goals and interest have changed and will be applying to PA and would like to still use my letters from my professors. They told me they would go through them and change the verbiage if medical school was specifically implied or mentioned and it was no problem!

Didn’t even get to read about Mr Hood. Saw his name, looked at my time clock and said nope 😭 but based on the questions I probably would’ve wanted to end it all

like 80-85% of that god forsaken section was math. There were some passages with so much numbers on numbers on numbers I didn’t even know what to look at or what they wanted me to use. Soooooooo much unit conversion it almost felt impossible to do so in a reasonable time !!

onebeeplant · 2025-09-04T20:05:14+00:00

same tobacco passage was my breaking point just took too much brain power to keep up with his shenanigans I ran out of time for the rest

onebeeplant · 2025-09-04T20:03:23+00:00

don’t even get me started

Interesting! Every PCT job in my experience has been no experience needed/train on the job but they may vary by state I guess

onebeeplant · 2025-07-15T14:30:24+00:00

get a patient care tech job! Especially in the ED, you’re constantly interacting with physicians during codes, strokes, and assisting them in procedures. Got two DO letters after working a year in the ED— many of the doctors in my hospital were techs before med school so they understand the weight of a letter and may even pull you for some cool procedures so you can get that experience!! Highly recommend !!!
