Hello all,
I am 100% committed to a career as a PA. I would really appreciate any help on this decision. I was accepted into VCU's post bacc program for career changers (Post Bacc in Health Sciences). While I like this program because of the cost and I can begin my pre-req journey, there are a few things I am hesitant about such as:
I really want to go to GW, while it is more expensive and hard to get into, I appreciate the small cohort, linkages, and advisors. I also like that they have a clear structure for the courses you'll be taking. I would also use this next year to work as a MA and take the GRE.
My biggest concern is that I deny VCU and may not get into GW next application... and VCU may not admit me next cycle given I rejected them.
Some things about me:
I was a double major in Economics and Cultural Studies with a ~3.9 GPA at my state's flagship school. I would only have 20 shadowing hours when I apply for GW.
TL;DR I really want to go to GW but what if I don't get in and VCU rejects me the following year?

While I like this program because of the cost and I can begin my pre-req journey, there are a few things I am hesitant about such as:
- being grouped in with undergrads
- limited advising/info about the program
- no linkages
- It feels a bit DIY in terms of the classes they offer not being laid out in a schedule (which I can always be autonomous in arranging)
