So happy to have done this interview with you! Great vibes, great conversation, & just amazing overall. Thank you for sharing your platform with me!
You were an amazing guest thank you so much for coming on! I’m sure the viewers will agree that we can’t wait to see your future success and hope to have you back on the channel as you start clinical year and beyond!
We have so many similarities and it has given me so much hope. From NJ, grew up in a Caribbean household. I graduated with a BS in Biology in 2022. An undergrad cGPA of 3.08, CASPA calculated my sGPA at 2.99. Just graduated recently with a master’s in health administration w/ a 3.89 GPA. Looking at post-baccalaureate programs now to retake some pre-req courses and take some I didn’t in undergrad. I realized I wanted to be a PA in my last semester of undergrad. I’ve worked as a MA in urgent care and a LNA in a long term care facility totaling approx. 1400 hours. I am planning to give it my all this next year and apply next cycle. This was really encouraging. Thank you and I can’t wait to be there. 🥹
🇭🇹 great video I enjoy watching and listening.
Glad you enjoyed the interview!
Im applying to PA school this cycle. My undergrad gpa is 3.1 and my caspa cum is 2.84 but i did well in many other areas. Do i have a chance getting in without having to do a post-bac or masters?
I mean, there’s always a chance but that 2.84 is going to be a disadvantage. Be sure to apply to schools that take them more holistic look at the applicants.
