Hello all,
I've searched SDN and the internet over trying to find guidance on my current and somewhat unique situation. I have been working on General Education courses at an online institution (University of Maryland College University) and would like to transfer to Kaplan's online "Health Science" degree program. My ultimate goal is to get into PA school however I am limited in where I can pursue my undergraduate degree as I am active duty military. I have done an immense amount of research into PA school and what the admissions committiees typically look for and it seems that quite a few use what's called "the whole person approach". Does anyone know how getting my bachelors from Kaplan would affect my chances for acceptance to PA school? This is of course assuming my GPA is stellar along with many shadowing hours.
Side note: I have 3 years left in the military and plan to take most of the science pre-requisites at a traditional university when I get out before applying to PA school
Does it look like I am on the right track or is there a better way to get to where I want to be?
Any help is greatly appriciated!
