Low GPA Physician Assistant School Applicants CRUSHING IT in PA School
You NEED a high college GPA to get into physician assistant (PA) school right? No, you don't.
Well, if you have a low college GPA (like a 2.8, 2.5, 2.1...) and even if you somehow get into PA school, you won't do well, right? No, you may succeed fantastically.
Elijah and I are proof. I had a 2.9 college GPA, Elijah had a 2.5. I finished PA school with a 3.8 GPA. He just finished his first semester of PA school with a 3.9.

Haha yup 3.2 is a decent GPA, but as a pre-med or pre-PA it’s on the lower side

Bruh it is low 😭
The problem that I'm having here in Georgia is most PA Programs only take courses that are no older than 7-10 years old. Therefore, I'm limited to about 3 schools I can apply to and 1 online program. My question is I have a MS in Pharmacology. If my science GPA is below that 3.0, what can I do to raise it in terms of courses? I do not want to do another MS program. And i'm not willing to repeat all those undergrad courses, That's just a waste of time and money. I want to go to PA school.
I’m just now starting to take courses for my bachelor degree and plan on applying to PA school.

May I ask why PA and not NP since you’re an RN?

@@BorisThePA because PA focus and train on the physician model while NP focus on nursing model of care. I also always wanted to go the “PA” route.

Hey Boris ,quick question! I’m in a bit of a dilemma. I am currently re-taking an online Pathophysiology class. (Withdrew last semester). I currently have a 78% overall in the class,but I have one final left and 3 more quizzes to take. Today is the last day to withdraw. My dilemma is, is it better stick it out and hope I can do better and get B or potentially a C or drop the course again. Which is worse , getting a C or withdrawing for the second time? (For more context, I am doing my own post bacc, so it’s not required but trying to increase my gpa so my decision here is critical and struggling to see which is worse, a potential C or another withdrawal?)

I was just told by my professor to not even try because my GPA is too low

I hate it when professors and academic advisors say that. Elijah had a 2.3 undergraduate GPA and he’s thriving in PA school now, straight A’s. I had a 2.9 undergraduate GPA, I graduated, passed the PANCE on my first try, and have been practicing at the top of my license in primary care and in urgent care. If you’re 100% sure this is what you want and you’re willing to work and prove yourself, then no one has the right to tell you you can’t.
