Hello all! I am currently working on my PA application, which I will turn in mid July. I was wondering if the "Memberships" section is that big of a deal of a section. Of course, it must be somewhat important to be a member of some things, but I don't have to much to put to be honest. Could this prevent me from gaining acceptance? Here are my stats:
Major: Biology
First time applying-21 years old
Number of programs applying to: 10
cGPA: 3.8
sGPA: 3.7
GRE: Yet to take, but practice shows my scores to be around 155 V,160 Q, and a 4 AW
PCE: 3000 Hours as a Transport CNA working at my local hospital (including 1 to 1 suicide precautions and ER CNA experience).
HCE: 1500 Hours Moving equipment and charting
Research for 3 years in psychology with my current project including blood brain barrier permeability to certain compounds in rats
Volunteer scribe for about 200 hours, along with running a local blood drive and volunteering on the TCU of my local hospital.
Shadowed for about 100 hours at a local clinic full of PAs (Shadowed 3 different PAs in this time)
Got 3 scholarships and made the Dean's list every semester of college. Also got an award from saving patient from falling at work.
I have a great essay and am a member of URF (undergraduate research fellows: In which I attended meetings every semester. This allowed me to also get paid for the research I do.)
Seeing my stats do you think I have a good shot at getting at least an interview to PA schools, though I don't have tons of clubs listed. I found clubs at my school to be pointless. I attended three meetings of 2 different clubs and they just talked the whole time and ate pizza.
