Hello,
I am contemplating going back to school for PA or PT.
I am concerned about the difficulty of entering the profession of PA...
My undergrad is in Journalism from the University of Wisconsin. I grduated with a 3.05. But I'd need a **** ton of science classes before I apply to PA school...
I am concerned because my brother had all outstanding credentials: scored a 3.7 in his science classes, had a couple years working with patients as a phlebotomist, shadowed the old director of the program, worked in the lab of a well respected cardiac doctor on campus and got his recommendation... But before all of that his undergrad gpa was a 2.7. He applied twice and didn't get in at Madison...
So I'm wondering if my fate will be the same with an undergrad of 3.05. That would be a lot of work for me to go through to be denied becuase of my undergrad GPA (considering the 1.5 to 2 years of prereq science classes I'd have to take...)
What to yall think?
Thanks...
