You know the phrase, “Early bird gets the worm”?

Well, this phrase applies to pre-PA students too!!!

You see a LOT of PA schools doing rolling admissions…meaning they interview students AS they apply. Meaning the earlier you apply, the earlier you get an interview…and the earlier you interview, the more seats are still open!

For example, lets say PA school A has an application window of May 1 to Dec 1. This PA school also does rolling admissions and has 50 seats in their program.

During their first interview date (Sep 1) they interview 45 students who have submitted applications. At this time, all 50 seats are open. After interviews, let’s pretend they offer seats to 30 of those students…now they only have 20 seats left.

The second interview day is on Oct 1, and they also interview 45 students…. but now they only have 20 seats open because they gave away 30 in September!!!! So, these 45 students are now competing for the remaining 20 seats! And If they give away 15 of them…there is only 5 seats left for the November interview with 45 other students…

See how applying to PA school AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE can help you out in this case?? In September you’re trying to grab one of 50 seats, but by November you are trying to earn one of 5…much harder odds.

Don’t wait until the last minute to apply to PA school…. set yourself up for success!
