I know this is asked a lot but I'm generally more curious about the actual coursework/rotations. I am an undergrad student deciding which path to take and I want to know how the depth of knowledge varies. Many PA schools will do 15 months of didactic work. A lot of medical schools are thinning...

Hi there! I've been looking around for a solid answer and seem to be getting mixed results. Is the sGPA all science grades averaged (science electives included) or is it just the courses required for medical school (general bio and chem, orgo, physics, statistics, and calculus)? Thanks!

[Don't know if I'm posting in the wrong forum] Hi all, I'm currently a junior in college. I always expected to go straight to medical school, but now after a lot of soul searching I realized that going to med school and residency for 7+ years in my 20's just doesn't seem like the right path...
