GPA, Grades

Post by v.v » Tue Oct 22, 2013 2:49 am

Hello everyone,

I'm currently an undergrad working towards my bachelor's and aspiring to one day become a PA. I was just hoping to get some questions answered if yall don't mind sharing with me what your overall gpa and science gpa were when you applied to PA school and also if you were accepted or were given at least an interview. If you were denied and not given an interview and don't mind sharing your gpa's that would be great too :)

-Thanks in advance!
Vanessa

Average GPAs of people who are accepted ranges from 3.4-3.8. Candidates with as low as 3.0 sometimes get in. I've heard of less, but it's not common.

I read a very useful simplification can be used in everyday reality.

Hello! A couple of questions,

I was wondering if the EMT classes I took at a community college count as a part of the CASPA gpa we have to input? Because it is listed under "other science" on the CASPA course subject list. The EMT class I took was a total of 10 credits and I received an A.

Also, CHEM II is a prerequisite and according to my university I passed with a C-, however i know PA schools require above a C in all prereqs. So should I take the class at a Community college or try to appeal to my university in order to be able to take it again?

Lastly, does CASPA tend to lower your cumulative science GPA when they calculate it?

Thank you!
