Applying to PA school can be confusing. 

Since every school has different admission requirements, it can be tough to tell if you’re a competitive applicant. 

Each application can cost $55 and up, so you want to make sure you take the time to apply to programs where you are a strong competitor.

How exactly do you know if a school is worth the time and effort (and $$$)???

It’s easy!

Use this secret trick to gauge how competitive you are for a particular program….and best news is…it only takes a few minutes of your time!

You’ve probably been on PA schools websites and read about prerequisite classes, PCE hours, and CASPA deadlines. 

But did you know schools often list the STATS of their incoming PA class?

They often post the average GPA, GRE score, number of patient care hours etc. of the students they have already accepted.

THIS INFORMATION IS GOLD!

It gives you an idea of where you stack up against the applicants they accepted and what is most important to them! This information is an excellent way to ascertain your competitiveness as a candidate! 

Having an idea of what other students they’ve accepted had coming in will give you a great metric to gauge how competitive you will be at that school.  

Remember, you don’t have to be perfect…these are averages meaning some students exceed them and others are below. But it’s a great way to see how you line up among their applicants.

Use this secret to check out your dream PA schools and see how you compare…before spending tons of money on CASPA application and supplemental fees.
