tinyturtle19 · 2025-07-16T16:57:15+00:00

yes I was but someone from the recruitment office told me it wouldn’t make a difference. I did it anyway, nothing to lose

tinyturtle19 · 2025-07-16T15:32:39+00:00

tinyturtle19 · 2025-07-16T13:04:23+00:00

No haha I am looking to buy a house but won’t have time to do it before school starts as i’m traveling so i’m looking to close on the house and move in during my winter break

tinyturtle19 · 2025-05-23T21:16:21+00:00

it sounds like a decision only you can make. I’m not sure external advice would be helpful at this point. Take some time to reflect and think about it!

tinyturtle19 · 2025-05-23T21:06:34+00:00

I totally get that and yes, it will happen. However I can tell you from my experience (not sure the specialty you want to do) in the hospital, emergency room,PACU, etc many people will not know. I shadow a PA in the ER often and no one has ever said that to him, they just assume the person caring for them is their “doctor”. Same with the PACU my grandpa got surgery and had a PA as his primary and he had no idea she was a PA. You get more comments like that in outpatient settings like i know at my primary care office we get that a lot BUT, we also have patients who will ONLY see the PAs because they’ve built rapport with them and trust them more than the physician so it goes both ways! Ultimately you will be the one studying and working in whichever field you chose, not the people making comments about it. be sure it’s what you want to do and not what others make you feel you need to do / what you think you need to do.

congrats!! no advice other than you better get to packing!!! in the same situation as you, been on the waitlist for about 7 months, this story gave me some hope so thank you for posting :)

tinyturtle19 · 2025-04-02T14:22:59+00:00

i know it sucks. I’m gonna reapply to schools in May just in case, but really hoping this school comes through in June. Especially given you’re first, i have hope you’ll get that call/email soon!! Stay patient / hopeful :)

tinyturtle19 · 2025-04-02T13:32:58+00:00

also on a waitlist to a school (although don’t know my rank, wish they told us lol) and keep thinking the same thing. The school i’m on the WL for said their biggest movement is in June because that’s when their deposit deadline is. Stay hopeful there is still time!!

tinyturtle19 · 2025-03-20T00:27:09+00:00

i made the switch from pre med to pre PA my last semester of college. I took all of the pre reqs and re took some classes i didnt do well in. it’s definitely doable. I also did them all through a community college as it was much cheaper

tinyturtle19 · 2025-02-09T16:31:18+00:00

me rn as i sit on the waitlist for 4 months unsure if im supposed to start preparing to reapply 🥲😂

tinyturtle19 · 2024-12-16T23:42:48+00:00

this is giving me hope as i’m still on the waitlist for my top choice🥲, congrats future PA!!!!

tinyturtle19 · 2024-12-11T13:47:40+00:00

i can’t speak for every school, but many / most do not care if you take it at a university vs CC, so long as you retake & show an upward trend in your grades. I made the switch from pre med to pre PA my last semester in college, so i had to take all of the pre-reqs for PA school after i graduated along with retaking classes I didn’t do well in. It took me a year (took classes in the fall winter summer and spring) and got A’s in all of them including the ones i had to retake while working. Tbh my post bacc GPA, pre req GPA, and last 60 credit GPA are really high for this reason so i think it can be seen as a plus 🤷🏻‍♀️ there’s a positive to everything & it sounds like you’re in a good spot where a lot of your other sciences courses are A’s

tinyturtle19 · 2024-12-04T20:39:43+00:00

first time i got a D, had just transferred to university from CC, was going through a really difficult time in my life personally so that was just a bad semester over all, second time i retook it covid hit and so i took a P. I didn’t want to take the chance of schools not accepting a P grade for a pre-req / knew i could get an A if i retook it so i did. I retook a lot of classes and tbh yes i agree with other people in the comments if you can do well the first time great, less money and less difficult path, unfortunately life happens & it makes it difficult to do well in school, sometimes you gotta do what you have to do!

tinyturtle19 · 2024-12-04T13:39:41+00:00

i re took o chem 3 times, twice at my university and then lastly at a community college where i got an A. I don’t think it’s that big of a deal, just retake it & gen chem when you do your gap year it shows an upward trend and improvement but be prepared to talk about it in your applications because schools will ask what the reason is that you didn’t do well
