I just graduated from undergrad at a pretty good school with a sorta low GPA 3.1-3.2. I was pre-optometry and I have actually finished most of my apps for optometry school. I have been working in an optometrist's office for a while and I think I might want to go the PA route instead after getting to know optometry better. I am very new to the PA thing. What are the pros and cons of both compared to each other?
I know I have to take the GRE (that's accepted by most PA schools right?), take Anatomy, and also try and get more exposure with a PA. Is there anything else I should do? What is a good way to see what a PA does?
I have all the prerequisites done except for Anatomy which I can take. What things should I do to boost my PA application? I've worked in a research lab, optometrist's office and have volunteered a lot in multiple hospitals. I am guessing my application will have to be for the next cycle anyways so what should I do to get started?
Thanks!
