    It seems like Rutgers really does find all the gems and takes chances on people that constantly pays off for both parties… it’s very refreshing to hear/see an institution like that is out there for people and actually wants to help you succeed and be apart of their growing family, love that!

    This is a very inspiring story, although I still feel out of reach from attending a physician assistant program. As of now, my gpa is not too bad, but I am having a hard time figuring out how to work along side a PA or APP in order to receive a LOR. I am currently a licensed practical nurse, but I do not work in a close proximity of a PA, although I work under a MD at my current job at a long term facility. Would I be able to ask the MD at my current job for a LOR, or should I shadow a PA, in which I could possibly receive a LOR from.

    Why not both? You need 3 LORs and you can have up to 5
