Where to begin...?
I'll move right to the education since that's where my question sits. I have been a business executive for the past 20 years. I did not finish my BA/BS however, did engage in a few executive education programs leading to certificates in business administration and finance. I have recently decided that at some point I would like to work in healthcare as a Physician Assistant for the remainder of my professional life.
Now the curve ball:
I do have a MBA from the University of Wales, England as I lived in Europe for many years. I was able to be "excused" from my BA/BS prior to entry based on my years of senior level experience. I did do well in my program leading to a 3.2 GPA and a concentration in Law. The University of Wales is a highly recognized educational institution and their MBA programs are consistently ranked globally in the top 50 so it's not a degree mill in any sense.
So the question:
How do I get in to Physician Assistant school with explaining that I don't have a BA/BS yet do have a Masters? The situation is probably something they're not familiar with since it's not incredibly common. I will obviously, do the pre-requisite work prior to application.
I appreciate your analysis, questions, and responses.
